But our hitting fell off in St.
Louis on our final visit there. We
lost the first game, won the sec
ond, dropped two more. Then the
AS went to Chicago and were de-
feated in the first game, which
made it three reverses in a row.
II didn't stop there, for we lost tn"
second game in Chicago and that meant
four defeats in succession. In those
four games we scored only 10 runs ana
made only Is hits. That Is just a

that team with as much power as
the Athletics packed in the first half
of the season. when we were averaging
something like six runs and dozSn
hits a game could fall down SO badly
on the attack. Tho only possible eX-
planation is that the breaks were
against us.
In every game we lost there vas some
marvellous fielding that robbed our ooys
of extra base hits. McNeely in St. Louis;
Hoffman and Reynolds in Chicago ana

left FoXX as the only man who had
played in every game and Jimmy was
out there on his nevre for a week or
so.
We ended our last Western trip with
FoXX on third base and George Burns
on first. 1t Just seemed impossible for
Connie Mack to get his full strength on
the field.
Therefore. I repeat. It was nothing
short of remarkable that our slump was
postponed so long. Finally, the worry
over never having our full strength on
the field began to tell on the boys and
they fell into the slump.
The one thing that some folks think
kept us from sinking into complete de-
mora alton was that the Yankees were
losing games more often than We did
in the West. We won 7 of Is. The
Yanks landed only Of is.
I'm not going to guess what might
have happened II the New York club
had cleaned up in the West. It is pos
sble we might have come home with
our lead sliced down to a margin that
would have been mighty uncomfortable,
Tried Hard Enough.
On the other hand. am hoping our
club would have snapped into it had
the situation become serious. I think
harder for us to regain the old fight
and hustle because our lead over the
Yanks remained dozen games or more.
Don't get the idea that We were in
different because we had so long lead.
We tried everything to get back into
our stride. But we might have come
out of our slump sooner if the situation
had been more desperate.
The thing that affected us most was
the talk all around US that the AS
we're in" that we had the champion
ship as good as won. found it diff
ficult to take our defeats as seriously
as should, because every day fans and
players on other teams would make
some such remark as. why. you fell
lows can't lose unless you run into a
train wreck"
AS a matter of fact we can lose that
pennant even now. We can lose 1t I'M
til we kill off that mathematical chance
the Yanks have. I'm hoping. however,
that now we are on our home grounds
again and play nearly all our remaining
games in Shibe Park we'll come out of
that slump and do the kind of power
house hitting that shot us way out In
front the early part Of the season.
Another thing-I have written about
our full strength without explaining
that we owe a lot to Perkins. Burns,
S,lnma, French. Cronin and other sub
stitutes who have entered the game
cold" and have played good ball. We
were fortunate in having such reserves.
But every team has what is known as
regular" or varsity lineup, and 1t
moves along better when these players
are working together 1t has happened
that for a period of only two weeks.
back in June. did Connie Mack have
the team on the field that he planned
to use regularly after the Spring train
ing had shown him what to expect from
the players.

November 26, 1854 handsome elk
horn chair, made by Seth Kinman, Of
California, q hunter Of renown, was
presented to President Lincoln at the
White House this morning In the pres
ence of q number of ladies and GENTLE
men. The chair is similar, though
much finer, than one which Mr.. Kin"
man presented to President Buchanan
in the last administration
The presentation speech today was
made by Clinton Lloyd Of Pennsylvania
on behalf of Mr. Kinman, who was
present, clad in a trapper's suit OF
buckskin. President Lincoln responded
with few pleasant remarks.
After the ceremony the President
seated himself in the chair and ex-
amined it minutely. Then Mr.. Ktnman
related some of his experiences In Cali
fornia, which seemed to an1use Mr.. Lin
coin very much.
Mr.. Kinman informed the President
that he had another little present" for
him-a fiddle manufactured from the
skull OF musical mule" He said this
mule during It's lifetime seemed to nave
music in It's SOUL" as 1t would always
lurk around the hunters camp when
ever 1t heard the music of fiddle.
After the mule had been dead some

passing it's bleached skeleton when the
idea struck him that there might be
some music in the bones" of the crea-
ture. He accordingly picked up the
skull, took it home and made the fiddle:
Later he returned and obtained one OF
the mules ribs and some hairs from its
tail, from which he made q bow.
The renowned hunter thereupon pro-
duced the mule-bone fiddle and pro-
ceeded to entertain President Lincoln
and the rest of the company by playing
Essence of Virginia" and John
Brown" Mr.. Lincoln laughed over the
story of the fiddle and expressed pleas
ure at the fddling.
When Mr.. Kinman had finished play
ing the President remarked that If he
could play on the instrument he would
ask Mr.. Kinman to give it to him. but.
as he could not, he thought 1t would be
better to leave the fiddle In Mr.. Kin
mans hands.
Mr.. Kinman's dress consists of buck
skin pants, heavy fur coat and large
fur hat. His costume and his flowing
beard give him a striking appearance.
He attracted much attention on Penn
Sylvania avenue today and at Ford's
Theater, which he attended last night.

Message from Venus.

How about the other planets? Here
we are on earth, but there are others In
the family Of Old Sol. Are there
people on Mercury and Venus Just as
there are here? don't know about all
this, but I've heard that the astrono-
mers have been trying to signal Mars
and get message from 1t or him.
It seems that we are trying to get
ideas from some outside source, since
our own are pretty well used UP and so
we are flashing another planet with the
hope of getting some heavenly tip from
1t. Now, I'm in favor Of trying to
catch the eye Of Venus when she ap-
pears in our sky. H
A message from Venus ought to be
some sort of pink telegram to the effect
that beauty is the thing we ought to
cultivate to make the world go round
without wobbling in its orbit. We have
tried war and industry and have set up
forts and factories, but we are just as
unhappy as ever.
A Russian writer whom I tried to
read has said, Beauty will save the
world" His idea was that we should
have the world run by artists instead Of
soldiers and should have more grand
opera than big battles. It sounds all
right, but / don't know that we could
elect ticket with lot Of long-haired
hEblSlH OlA ~. 4AACy 1lAbAlb AdAC WOksC
than some Of our present-day parties.
But, as 1t is now, Venus has made
some appeal to us in the way that We
have cultivated the beauty of the fine
arts. We have our cathedralS and
statues, our paintings and poems. When
we go abroad, If we are lucky enough
to get there, 1t is chiefly to see how
the Europeans have smeared art all
over the place the way a flapper swabs
the cold cream all over her countenance.
II we did manage to tune in on o
planet like Venus we'd learn that hui
man love was really the force which
was keeping the earth and all the other
planets in their places. We have love
for animals and societies to protect
tired horses and sick cats, but we
aren't so careful to have Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Human Be-
ings.
But we women are coming into power
although rather slowly up to date, and
it may be that, when we have women in
control Venus will send the message
we are looking for now.
The thing to do is to get in on the
big celestial hook-up Of all stations We
want to tune In when Venus broad
casts She has the message we want
to hear
