PETER RABBIT DOUBTS HIS

EYES
 By Thornton W. Burgess Your eyes. although they be we'll
 schooled
 Are not immune to being fooled.
 -OId Mother Nature.
 Peter Rabbit thinks his eyes are pretty good Yes, sir, he thinks they are pretty good. He knows they are ot as good as the eyes Of some Of the other little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows, but he believes them good enough to have faith in. He knows that they do not compare with the eyes or such people as Redtail the Hawk and otker members Of the Hawk family, But when he sees I thing he .s sure of what he sees.
 So 1t happened that Pcter was very much puzzled. He had been over to the Old Orchard, and while he was sitting near the old stone wall that is on one edge Of the Old Orchard he saw Striped Chipmunk whisking along the old wall as only Striped Chipmunk can. Peter and Striped Chipmunk are old friends. Striped Chipmunk didn't stop to speak. He was in q hurry. He dis appeared between the stones Of the old wall Peter knew that somewhere down underneath Striped Chipmunk had 3 hole in the ground and that his home was there
 Peter had aInc7t forgotten Striped Chipmunk and vas sitting, half dreaming, wh-n h~ caught just a glimpse Of some one popping out from between the stones oi the old wall and almost at once disa ppear- ing again Peters eyes flew wide open. Yes, sir. they flew wide open. He stared and stared and hoped that whoever mad disappeared would re- appear,
 That wasn', Striped Chipmunk, but t was q Chipmunk." declared Peter. Tt must have been a Chip munk It was just the shape Of Strip ed Chipmunk. and 1t ran like Strip ei Chipmunf, and it had a tail like striped Chipmunk. But, unless, I'm color blind, 1t was black. Of course, that couldn't be. Chipmunks are not black. It must be that I was more asleep than l thought I was. Per haps I vas wholly asleep and dreamed it.'
 Just then Chatterer the Red Squir- rel came whisking along the old stone wall. At once he saw Peter. Peter saw him. Chatterer made q face at Peter and was going to run along when Peter spoke. Did you ever see q Black Chipmunk?" ." de- manded Peter.
 Chatterer stopped abruptly. No" said he, T never did, and no one else ever cid "
 Wait a minute; wait minute!' said Peter. How do you know no one else ever did?"
 Be 2ause Chipmunks are not black" declared Chatterer in his most decided way
 why shouldn't there be a Black Chipmunk as we'll as a white Red Squirrel?" demanded Peter
 Chatterar didn't know just what to say. You see. he had once had son who wore an all-white coat It had happened only once, but that once did prove that a Red Squirrel could be white. That's different" said Chatterer lamely. White coats do happen once in while"
 "So do black coats happen once in a while" retorted Peter. who just then happened to remember that Reddy Fox had once had a son with a black coat.
 Chatterer remembered at the same minute, and so he couldn't say q word of denial. Still, he wasn't

LUCK BEAT GRIMES
IN GABBY'S OPINION
"If That's the Best They Can
Offer We viii Beat Them,"
He Insists.
BY CHARLES (GABBY) STREET,
Manager st Louis Cardinals.

HILADELP HIA, October 2.-If
that's the best the Athletics have to
offer, then we will beat them sure,
even though we did lose the first game
Of the series. We hit enough balls
hard to win an ordinary game, but
had the misfortune to have them come
when we had two men out. After see
ing Lefty Grove, certainly the best
pitcher Mack has to offer us, I am
sure that we will win the world series.
Grove did not show thing we did
not face in our regular league games.
He has speed, but think Bill Halla-
han, the left-hander of my club, who
will go against the American League
champions in one of the games, Is
faster than the star of the Athletics.
Grove, as the records will show, did
not hurl as good q game as Burleigh
Grimes, who lost tough-luck battle.
We hit Grove for a fare-thee-well and
q few breaks our way would have told
a different story. There was the sew
enth inning for instance. If Douthit's
second had gone through, the infield
would have been playing in and
Frisch's liner, Of which Bishop made
a leaping catch, would have been good
for at least two bases. And that was
the way 1t went.
Grimes allowed only five hits. He
will come back and win. The Ath-
letics won't have all their safeties 90
for extra bases the next time he faces
them, as happened in the first Of the
series.
AL Simmons hit home run over the
fence on perfectly pitched ball. It
was q curve, low and on the outside,
but he swung into 1t and golfed It
over the wall. That was Just one Of
the breaks which went against us.
The Athletics have fine club, one
which threw a perfect defense around
Grove, but I think after looking them
over in competition, that my club Is
better, and for that reason I say that
we will win out.
I want to praise some of the young
players on my club, those who had never
gone through the mill in q world series
before. Gus Mancuso caught q great
game, just like he did in the final pen
nant drive. He also hit the ball hard.
Charley Colbert and Sparky Adams
also performed like veterans. am not
worried that my club viii crack. The
players are more confident after seeing
Lefty Grove in action that they win be
able to beat anything that Mack has
to offer, including Grove II he starts
another game against us.
Inc uISC game comes GOWN 70 tine
fact that the Athletics made all their
hits count for distance, while only two
OF ours was for an extra base-dOubles
by Hafey and Frisch.
The Cardinals misfortune came In
that many of our safeties came after
two batters had been retired. We hit
more balls hard than did the Athletics,
and we will continue to do so until the
series Is over in our favor.
expect to start Flint Rhem, another
Highlander, in the second game of the
series here, and am sure that he will
go home, with at least tie and then
viii gain the upper hand when we play
at home. Rhem has plenty Of speed
fine curves and a great knuckle ball,
and he viii show the AS something.
