HAYNES HAS WON
 HIS FIRST GAMES
Cardinal 1Wirler Almost Sets
 Early Season Pitching Record
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 l: Jesse Joseph Haines Of Phil !ipsburg, ohio, has not set record for early season pitching effective ness so far he has at least come within hailing distance Of it.
 The raw boncd twirlcr of the St. Louis Cardinals has won all three of his starts. each against q differ cn1 team, and permitted the meagre production of ten hits and single run off his delivery in twenty-sev- cn innings.
 In his first game. April l3. he hlankcd the Chicago Cubs with two hits. to .. Six days later he held Cincinnati to five hits, one a triple. while his mates clubbcd out q @-l decision. He came back Mon day with another artistic touch. holding the slugging Pirates 10 three hits and winning a spectacular 10 duel with Ray kremer. himself pre- viously uuiefcated in three starts.
 In these three skirmishes. Haincs lNSu'tl IlN' JttSStS oi bhIlS elIiu struck out eleven,
 Perhaps it was the heroic role he played in the 1926 worlds series that has inspired him to a new lease in pitching life. for in seven years nith the Cardinals he has seldom shown anything like the consistent brillance of this spring.
 He won two games against the Yankees in last falls classic. The first was spectacular 40 shutout in which he Clinched the decision personally with home run. He also was credited officially with the final victory although Grover Alex andcr saved the day by relieving Haincs and flaming Lazzeri with the bases full.
 Like Kremer, Vance and others Haines seems to be striking his stride late in life. He will be $4 in July. Only two other Cardinals. Alexander and Frank Snyder, are older.

being struck. A daring idea entered
the Phantom's mind. For the time
being the enemy's force was divided
and there was only one watcher at the
window. He saw a chance-a slender
and dubious one. but perhaps the only
chance he would have--to get the
upper hand of the sentinels.
Bracing his shoulders against the
wall of the passage he drew his cleo
trio flash from his pocket His right
hand was already gripping the pistol.
Holding both in readiness for instant
action, he pricked up his ears and
listened. Sounds of breathing told him
that Slim was standing a few inches
from his feet, perhaps looking di-
rectly at him through the darkness.
He had already decided that Slim was
the more resourceful man of the two.

was barely able to distinguish the
faint whispers Sims last remark was
interesting If Culligore had been at
tackled and overpowered while search

in no danger from the police just at
present His only immediate problem
was how to deal with the two watch
ers.
whats the lay, Slim?" Toots was
asking. why is the big chief so ALL
fired anxious to get his mitts on the
Phantom? ?"
Orders from the Duke. There's a
big job ON, but only two or three are
in the know of it. All you and me got
to do, Toots, is TO keep our mouths
shut, ask no questions and collect our
little bit when the time comes. The
boss will do the thinkin' part
Again a silence fell between the
watchers: then Toots asked: why
don't one Of us go to the other end
and smoke him out? I'm gettin' tired
of waitin'.
Whats eating you? Times cheap,

amt It? The Phantom will come out
when he gets ready"
Another pause ensued: then the in
quisitive Toots asked another ques-
ton. What / don't get at all Is how
the skirt figgers in the deal. Where
does she come in, Slim?'
The Phantom held his breath to
catch the answer.
Search me. All ] know is that the
Phantom has crush on her. / s'pose
the boss thinks the Phantom will be
easier to handle if he's got grip on
the moll"
where's the boss keepin' herr"
"Say, ask me somethin' easy. The
boss don't tell me his secrets"
The Phantom felt a twinge of dis
appointment Toots' question had
given him hope of learning something
about Helen's whereabouts, but Sims
answer had quickly dashed it.
"I'm dying for smoke" he heard
Toots whisper.
"Well. get back in the corner and
have one. But don't make any noise,
and be careful when you strike the
match"
The Phantom heard Toots tiptoeing
away from the window. Then came d

Again the man named Toots spoke.

The Watchers at the Window.

%HE Phantom strained his ears.
Faint sounds of breathing
came TO him; then a board
4 creaked ever so slightly under
some ones weight. A watcher
or We're there two,-waS standing
just inside the window, guarding the
exit The discovery nettled him. for
it meant the loss of precious seconds,
but he thanked the warning instinct
that had prompted him to muffle his
movements. 1t had probably saved
him from an unexpected attack in the
dark.
Warily he reached for the pistol in
his hip pocket. He was still listening,
and now he was almost certain that
two watchers were standing close to
the window sill Doubtless they were
armed and ready to spring upon him
the moment he betrayed himself, and
his awkward position would make it
extremely difficult for him to defend
himself.
He turned the situation over in his
mind while he waited. 1t had been a
trap, of course. He remembered the
slight sound that had told him of the
opening of the door to the laboratory
while he was fencing for time with
Culligore. Some one had looked down
on them from the head of the stairs,
in the situation and decide on a /
course of action. Doubtless he had
suspected that the Phantom would
make an attempt to reach the tunnel, |
his only avenue of escape, and the
plan had been to attack him as he
came out of the passage.
Again a board gave forth a slight
creak, signifying that one of the SEN
tineis was growing impatient. The
Phantom was in a cramped position
and, with his feet above his head, he
would be at decided disadvantage in |
a fight. He could still use his pistol, |
but to do so would be dangerous, to
say nothing of the difficulty of taking |
aim in the dark. He was still looking |
for a way out of the difficulty when |
one Of the watchers at the window |
spoke in whisper.

from among his melon vines and
bean rows. His life is simple. his
wants are few, his income small,
but it is highly likely that he gets
good deal more out of life than
many of his neighbors who own six
cylinder cars and sit around in
the pool halls at town complaining
about how the farmers saint got
no chance"
It seems to us this fellow is typ
ical of the farmers of 20 years
ago, who farmed because they Xix
ed it and did not expect a large
cash income. Farmers today have
great deal more than they ever
had before and yet if we believed
the press reports they are the
most miserable people on earth.
The day will probably come
when farming is put on a strict
business like basis, like other in
dustries.

be approximately $1,000. being
$1,000 under the heading of "Sal-
aries" and $500 under the heading

Now. therefore, be it resolved
that public emergency exists ior
such purpose in the sum OF $l2OO
