McMillan's opponent at third base
likely will be Jimmy Dykes, although
Sammy Hale has played the far corner
for the Mackmen through the first part
of the season. Hale has a higher field
ing percentage than either Mcmillan or
Jimmy Dykes, his alternate at the hot
turn, but the Cub man has shown HIM
self a better ground coverer than the
two Athletics.
Mcmillan has had ia putouts and
1913 assists, while Dykes and Hale to-
getIaer have handled only 100 putouts
and 239 assists In dividing the work at
third. Mcmillan also has participated
in more double plays than the Athletic
workmen, but the Cubs have been a
better double-play team all season than
the American League champion.
On percentages, Mcmillan must be
considered better fielding prospect in
the series than either Hale or Dykes.
Should Jimmy cover the bag in the big
series he will give the Athletics a bat
ting edge at the position, but II Hale
gets the call, Mcmillan will top him as
a hitter.
None of the world series third base
men rank with Frank Baker, Larry
Gardner, Joe Dugan, Freddie Lind
strom and others who have shone at
that position in previous world series.
But Mcmillan, Dykes and Hale have
been valuable cogs in the victories of
their respective teams and can be ex.
pected to play steady, If not brilliant,
ball during the series. Third base is an
important position in a world series,
and 1t is possible that one of the three
may emerge from the 1929 battle as the
hero Of the engagement.

make up his mind to invite her
to dinner and the theater be-
cause he couldn't smash the
long habit of boarding his
savings.
He saw other men ask her
out and knew that she went,
but common sense told him that
even If you really liked a girl
it was foolish to imperil your
budget by spending money on
her that ought to be saved.
Harry's frugal characteristics
were well known to the office
force and his reputation as a
tightwad was general. Once in
a while some newcomer asked
him for q loan. but, Harry was
always short. And then came
the evening when everybody was
working late and Mildred
Parker left at the same mo-
ment with him. 1t was raining.
One of those chilly, drizzly
rains that make Broadway look
like a fairyland Of Subdued
lights and send a Shiver up the
spines Of the unfortunates who
happen to be out.
And Harry didn't have an
umbrella. Obviously it would
have been a gallant thing for
him to have halted q taxi and
driven her to the nearest sub
way station. Harry didn't do
that, but Mildred did.
Cant I take you to the sub
way?" she asked.
Harry stammered his thanks
and followed her into the taxi
that had answered her hail.
This is very nice Of you," he
said lamely.
He was too embarrassed to
say more; to be seated next to
the girl he admired so much
seemed bliss enough but to be
unable to express his admira-
ton was misery, too. The taxi
stopped. Here you are" said
Mildred and Harry got out
and watched his benefactor
vanish.
Mildred told the story the
next day in the office. There
ought to be some way to make
him realize what a stinge he
is," she remarked, "if any of
you think of one let me know"

"Is that a good buy?" he
asked.
I'm told it is?" she replied
with a guilty feeling that she
was running her companion for
the sake of saving him.
"I've got a few thousands"
said Harry.
Suddenly Mildred repented.
Better keep It," she said earn
estly.
But Harry didn't keep it.
He drew it out Of the bank
and bought 500 shares Of

TOday'S True
Story

rTARRY BREWSTER was a
n sort Of a joke among his
fellow employees; which is
to say they couldn't any Of
them see a future for him.
Unless you call a future sit
ting in the same chair in the
same office dong the same
thing until an cbliging Angel
Gabriel blows his trumpet and
summons you to uncharted
fields.
Harry was good-natured and
painstaking and plodding; he
was always on time and never
left early: no ore ever found
fault with his work, but then
no one ever praised him. Once
in q while he wondered If all
the Screeds he read about the
appreciation of work well and
faithfully done was merely
polite pleasa1ltrlcs.
He was unmarried and lived
in a small hall bedroom be-
cause that seemed the logical
way to save what he could.
When this story opens he had
been consistently saving for
seven years. He had accumu-
lated $1,000 and resisted every
effort Of glib-tongued salesmen'
to induce him to invest 1t in
stocks which would make him
rich over night.
RepoSing in the savings bank
that money was bringing him
in a little over 5000 a year.
Now Harry had one dream;
he had had it always. He
wanted to travel. He wanted
to bask in the sunset glories Of
the Riviera and saunter along
the sands Of Deauville and
gaze ct the Great Wall Of
China.
But, Of course, this couldn't
be done on imagination. And
to Harry the one and only
way to do it was to wait till
he had an independent income
and didn't have to hurry home
to start the grind anew.
That was the status when

Harry set eyes on her he knew
he had met his fate. But
