ing of Pipgras. That would have
put us on even terms with the
American Leaguers and we could
have started all over again. To
run into such remarkable pitching
as Pennock produced on Friday,
when he would have beaten any
club in the world, left our cause
almost hopeless with three defeats
charged against US and not a
single game won.
Milius was in the tightest cor
ner in which pitcher could pos
sibly be placed in that inning, with
the Yankees and some of their best
hitters coming up.
Striking out Gehrig and Meusel
in such, a situation was feat to
believe that Miljus would have
famed Lazzeri as well If that one
pitch had not got away. Had he
done that he would have accom-
plished the greatest feat in world
series history, and even as it is
he must be given credit for one
of the nerviest pitching exhibitions
on record.
In fact, most of our pitchers did
fine work during the series until
some little break went against
them. In the four games they
struck out rs men, or almost a
whole team, which is some trick
against a team of smuggling stars
like the Yankees, and moreover
they held them to a club batting
average of .279, which is another
notable performance.

The only explanation that l can
give for our failure to keep the
Yankees from making clean
sweep, at least. even though we
might not have won the series
in the end, is that our team was
simply burnt out as result of the

necessary during the final week of
the regular season to win the
National League Pennant.
That victory must have

no uncommon feat to win out
In that great race against three
other clubs that had an equal
chance with us in the home
stretch and then against one
club that had a chance up to

schedule.
But our boys did not have enough
left after that effort to go into
another hard fight right away and
play up to their standard against
such a powerful foe as the Yankees.
The loss of the first game was a
hard blow. Anything approaching
our normal gait would have won
that game for US, and If we had
got off on the right foot by winn-
ing the opener it might have been
a different series. Butt just when
our tagged team needed such j
tonic as victory in the first game

backset instead, and that made
matters worse.

a host of his creditors appeared. The
most difficult of the claims to settle
was that of the Spanish dentist who
had purchased a lion for the royal
menagerie and had not been paid for
the beast.
The dentists claim involved compli-
cations. The ex-Sultan had admired
the dentists chair and had ordered and
paid for a throne that wa. to be con-
structed on the same mechanical prin-
Ciples. The throne had never been de-
livered, so Mulai Hafid had a. counter
claim. An interview was arranged be-
tween the ex-Sultan and the dentist.
Each was coached in tine p,.I he was
to play. The dentist rehearsed plain
II e appeals to the generosity of the
former sovereign and Mulai Haf1d re-
hearsed gracious reply.
Mulai Hatid was seated on a divan
studiously reading a book when the
dentist entered and made his obei-
sance. The obeisance. polite but not
very deep. did not meet with his
majesty's approval. Instead of smil-
ing, as arranged. the eX-Sultan contin
ued to read his book aloud in a sing
song drawl.
\ long pause, then one of the suite
said. MY Lord the King. the dentist
is here"
Without raising his eyes from his
book the eX-Sultan asked:
Has he brought me my mechanical
throne?"
Now, that was not on the program
at all. There was to have been no
mention of dentist-chair thrones or
lions-simply a reconciliation. A sum
of money was TO have been promised
to the dentist and an abandonment Ct
claim and counter-claim was to have
followed. But before any one could
intervene the dentist shouted:
Pay me for my lion,'' g.
The ia. was in the fire. The atmos.
pher3 boiled with vituperative illusions
to lions and dentists thrones until
some one restrained the infatuated
potentate and attendants removed the
struggling dentist from the presence
chamber
BY dint of great exertion the Ameri.
can who tells the story brought about
a set cement. The ex-Sultan did not
get his throne. nor did he pay for the
lion, which had died in the mea ntime.
The dentist received a certain sum OF
money In payment of all his claims.
