Pennock Highest-Paid
Southpaw In American

No left-hander in the American
league received as much salary as
Herb Pennock of the Yankees in 1927.
Pennock held out for a $4,000 CON
tract last spring and got it. He
proved his value, too, not only during
the American league race, but also
when he let the Pirates down with
three hits in the third game of the
world series. Pennock retired % Pr
rates without yielding hit.
Pennock's failure to deliver a no.
hit game was due to the fact that he
sat on the bench while the Yankees
were prolonging their half of the sew
enth inning, which consumed at least
20 minutes The noted southpaw COM
planned of momentary stiffness in his
arm when he faced the Pirates for the
eighth time, which accounted for his

Grove of the Athletics, who ranked
next to Pennock, drew about $1,000
for his services this year, it is said,
and Walberg, his teammate, a trifie
less. Shaute, Buckeye and Miller of
the Indians, Zachary and Braxton of
the Senators, Whitehilf of the Tigers,
Stewart of the Browns and Wiltse of
the Red Sox, all left-handed pitchers,
drew less pay than 'Dutch" Ruether,
the Yankees southpaw, whose con-
tract called for $4,000.

hidden room galvanized Dale into
action. She followed him, hurriedly
snatching up Miss Cornelia's revolver
from the table as she did so, in last
gesture of desperation.
"Nol MOI Give it to me! Give
1t to me!'' and she sprang after him,
clutching the revolver. He waited for
her on the bottom step of the stairs,
the slight smile still on his face.
Painting breaths in the darkness Of
the alcove-a short, furious scuffie-
he had wrested the revolver away
from her, but in doing so had un-
guarded the precious ue-print-she
snatched at it, desperately, tearing
most of it away, leaving only cor
ner in his hand. He swore-tried to
get it back-she jerked away.
Then suddenly a bright shaft Of
light split the darkness of the alcove
stairs like a sword-a spot of bril-
lance centered on Fleming's face like
the glare of flashlight focused from
above by an invisible hand. For an
instant it revealed him-his features
distorted with fury-about to rush
down the stairs again and attack the
trembling girl at their foot.
A single shot rang out. For a Sec
ond the fury on Fleming's face seemed
to change to a strange look Of bewil-
derment and surprise.
Then the shaft of light was extin-
gpished as suddenly as the snuffing
of candle, and he crumpled forward
to the foot of the stairs-struck-l
on his face, in the darkness, just in
side the double doors.
Dale gave little whimpering cry
of horror.
"Oh, no, no, no." she whispered from
dry throat, automatically stuffing
her portion of the precious scrap of
blueprint into the bosom of her dress.
