LAST INNING
RALLIES WIN
SUNDAY TILTS
White SOx Score Nine Runs
in Ninth to Beat st. Louis
Browns, 2 to 5
(By The Associated Press)

Major league fans, accustomed to
leave the ball parks early to avoid
the rush, are getting out OF the
habit this year. becausc of the way
the teams are playing their most
spectacular baseball in the final IN
nngs.
Good examples Of the whirlwind fin
ish by which IA game is won-or It's
complexion changed entirely--in the
eighth or ninth innings, were seen IN
yesterdays games. !.
Apparently safe on the long end OF
a ; to 3 count at the end of the Sth,
the Browns lost to the White SoH,
II to >. as the visitors scored nine
runs in the ninth. Learning about
it afterwards, the rly-departers
among the St. Louis fans were in
clined to be rather glad than sorry
that they had not stayed to see the
woeful end.
Pirates Beat Cubs
The wallop on the finish was APP
piled By the Pirates who did most OF
their heavy hitting in the eighth to
over the Cubs.
Although the Giants had n day off
from major league play, they too
over until the scorebook is closed,
making just enough runs in the
eighth to nose out the Providence
Gruys Of the Eastern League. 6 TO 8.
While they led All the way in beat
ing Brooklyn, Z to 2, the Braves also
saved something for the end and
scored four of their runs in the
eighth.
Such thing rs a batting rally
had no place in yesterdays battle be
tween the Cards and Reds. which the
world champions won, to J., behind
the veteran Alexander. That was
ding dong, nip and tuck bls"natl,
with the hits comparatively few ard
far apart.
Yanks Get IL Hits
Games Of quite another type were
those at New York and Washing ton,
in which the Yankees and Athletics
kept up their rapid hitting pace by
beating the Red Sox and Senators,
respectively, II to 2 and l3 to 3. The
Yanks plastered the ball for 1S hits
and the Mack men banged out lG.
The day was Il triumph for De-
troit in more ways than one. The
Tigers hit the Indians ace, Uhle, for
ii hits in seven innings and to
/ victory, and incidentally succeeded
in playing their first full game in
six attempts This season. Four Of
the previous scheduled games were
called off because of rain and the
fifth was interrupted in the fifth
inning.

NEW ATHLETICS
COST $750,000
Connie Mack Has Spent a Lot
Of Money to Rebuild Phil
adephia Team

Philadelphia, April 1S.--tP)-Ex-
perts figure that Connie Mack has
spent more than three quarters of Il
million dollars to rebuild the Phila-
delphia Athletics, his dismantling Of
which in 1915 by the sale of his
$500 900 infield'- Baker, Barry, Col
Inns and McInnis-startled the base
ball world.
After the sale of his famous in
field, Mack announced that he hoped
to develop another pennant-winning
team from Young players who had
little, if any, big league experience.
This he accomplished twice and felt
confident he could do it third time.
But the years passed and the Ath
letic machine was putting at the end
of the parade. So Connie changed
his tactics and four years ago went
into the open market for his mate
rial.
It is estimated that the salaries of
Ia players on his roster today, in
GLIDING what he will pay Cobb, Col
Inns and Wheat at the end of the
1927 season, have cost him close to
100000 since 1923. Lesser stars ac-
count for the other $150,000.
Adds One Each Season
Starting with the purchase in 1923
of Sammy Hale and RUDE Walberg.
for whom he was reported to have
paid $4,000 and $4,000 respectively,
the Athletics pilot has added one or
more igh-priced players each sea-
son. From Baltimore he purchased
Max Bishop for a reported price of
$4,000; from Milwaukee AL Simmons
for $4,000 and from Portland Paul
Strand for $4,000. Strand later was
sent TO Toledo in a trade for Bill
Lamar, who was said to have cost
Mack approximately $4,000.
Then Mack paid $4,000 for Mickey
Cochrane and the same season eli
NAKED his high priced purchases by
! paying Baltimore $1OO,6O0 for Nose
Grove. In 1925 he spent several thou
sand more to obtain Jim Poole from
the coast. and the Athletics were the
runners-up. for the pennant. There
was little change in the personnel Of
the club last year.
More B0lstering Needed
But the team finished third and
Connie decided it needed further
bolstering. The first move for 1927
was the purchase Of Jack Boley from
Baltimore for $4,000 and Dudley
Branom from Kansas City. The de-
tails Of the Branom deal were not
revealed. but he was reported to have
cost $50 1000, including Hauser and
Wambsganss who went to Kansas
City in the exchange. Another $780,
900 went to Dallas, Texas, for Pitch.
ers Elliott and Darrough.
" Cobb's contract for the season
was reported to call for $4,000. The
salaries Of Collins and Wheat have
not been made public, bu. they ere
estimated at $4,000 each.

WILLIAMS thought highly Of

him that morning while thinking
Of the person he had heard de-
scending the stairs. the person he
insisted was Mrs. Stokes.
1t was a simple and practical
plaza watch kept for the rest Of
the night on the stairs and GER

positive orders two people had

Mrs. Stokes, in Williams Opin-
ion, to communicate with her hus-
band. Even if both men were
wrong, some powerful incentive
was making them take such risks,
and It was natural to suppose that
incentive might be strengthened
after twenty-four hours of strain
and uncertainty. They might try
it again, and to catch them at it,,
surprise them in the act-if they
didn't break down on the spot-a
little grilling would do the job.
Rawson looked at his assistant
with an approving eye. The idea
was good, excellent, and without
waste of time they arranged the
distribution of the watch.
Williams would take the front
stairs, his particular prey was there

The intrusion of his wife worked
with his plan and he had insisted
on a rendezvous where they would
be free from interruption. They
started for the summer house on

long wait. had reached a climax OF
distraction. and he burst into a
stream of w0rds-he had lied to
her, he knew nothing, but he had
to see her, he knew lie had lured
her there for a last interview, a
final clearing up, and he drew out
the pistol. The sight of it, his mad
babble Of disconnected sentences,
evidently terrified her. She leaped
TO her feet and made a rush like a
frightened animal for the open
ing. Before he could speak or catch
her she had brushed past him and
fled from the place.
Then something had gone wrong
in his head-he couldn't explain
a breaking of some pressure, a
stoppage of all mental processes.
In the vacuum one fact stayed
that she had got away from him
and he would never see her again.
A blind fury seized him and he
shot at her as she ran. She was
at the summit of the cliff, stag
gered, threw up her arms and went
iover. When he saw her body
Ilurch and topple forward the dark
ness lifted from his brain. He
came back to himself as if from a
period Of Inconsistencies and real

He described his state as Curl

sane outbreak seemed TO have freed
his intelligence and temporarily
suspended the torment of his
nerves. The situation presented it.
self with a vision-like clarity, and
all the forces of his mind and will
sprang into action, combining to
achieve his safety. From the
shadow of the vines he looked at
the house, saw Bassett come TO the
living-room entrance, glance about
and go back. The sound of the
shot had evidently reused no fore
holdings, and when no face APP
peared at window or door, he RAJ
to the pine grove. There he was
safe and slipped ~unobserved to the
balcony. He waited here for a
moment to get his breath and com
pose his manner. He was the
actor playing the difficult part with
a high-keyed, heady confidence
when he entered the room.
His wife-that had been the unr
