to the last minute in both
games, had queer ideas in their
heads that they were about to
win.
The coincidence Of those
bases to two batterS on balls
in the last stand of Saturdays
and Sundays game impressed
us, and we wanted to get it
off our chest before revealing
the thing that made it posi-.
bic for Art ShireS to win the
Sabbath game for us.
This isn't q fish story, but
its so near to 1t that the fact
had better be brought out early.
You see Art was invited out
Saturday night on a crab feast,
which invitation he was unable
to accept because he had agreed
previously to go Snipe hunt

around the cigar store near
where he lives.
But the crab feasters, en-.
joylng their repast SO much
and the little SoftShellerS being
so delectable, decided to carry
q couple of tasty fellows out
to Shires at the ball park yes

The gesture was complete
and the presentation speech
made by the man who fished
the crabs out of one Of the
salty Chesapeake's tributaries.

satisfaction over this unusual

JOINT CALL
MADE FOR
JULY 8
BY JOE HOLMAN


Save when big league baseball
magnates are seeking publicity or
are In some way trying to benefit
: themselves, baseball writer's gen
orally must play a game Of hide
and seek for information. On
July 8 Commissioner x. M. Lam
dis is calling a joint meeting Of
major league executives. 1t Is
understood that this convention,
which is to be staged in Chicago,
will result in the revision of the
present working agreement be-
tween major and minor league
! interests.
Having requested information.
(which was denied him, this writer
will venture his own opinion. It
Is generally believed that unless
big league interests come to their
rescue all leagues below clasSifi-
cation "A" will be imperiled.
This, more than anything
else, is q logical explanation
for the mysterious cOnclave
which baseball interests have
seen fit to hold behind closed
doors.
During the past two years
minor leagues of a lower de-
nomination have faced near fl
nancial disaster. Several smaller
clubs have flashed out and out
requests for help.
According to Clark Griffith of
the Washington Club, no fewer
than four such teams have peti-
toned him. And other organiza-
tions, in an effort to avoid bank
ruptcy, have acted similarly.
Consequently, it seems, major
J interests must either protect these
leagues or else see them die a
natural death.
Unpopular though Il Is in
certain quarters the present
chain store system adopted
by certain big league clubs
would furnish one solution to
this problem.
Griffith, incidentally, will ac-
company the club when 1t swings
westward this week. The Chicago
convention he claims, is pri-
marily responsible for his making
the trip.
A few days ago Walter John
son seriously considered using
Sam West in center field against
all brands of pitching. Hereto
fore George Loepp and Sam West
have alternated with West in the
outer precincts when southpaws
were singing.
Now Walter says, he is re-
considering the original propo-
sition.
'tIf / thought for q minute
Sam could carry on against
left handlers I'd keep him in

fielder I've ever seen.

 IN THE DARK

SYNOPSIS: Hallie ElIesmore, beautiful young nurse, falls in love with Saxely Grannock, nicknamed Socks" during a chance meeting on 3 cliff above Long Island Sound, although she is already engaged to Les ter Broom, Grann0ck's young CT brother. Grannock cannot see her clearly, as he has eye trou- ble and is soon to undergo an operation which will either re- store or ruin his sight. Hence he refuses to let her tell her name, but gives her 8 tiny ivory rose as a love token. Unknown to Grannock, Hallie becomes his night nurse during the treat ment, and must notify Dr. Lyt- ton when certain symptoms de- vel0p. Lester, coming home drunk, holds Hallie captive in another room until past time to call the doctor and Gran mock goes blind. Disgraced, Hal lie breaks with Lester, but he refuses to give her up. Outside the house she meets Grann0ck by accident, and hearing her voice he recognizes her as the unknown girl on the cliff. She cannot bring herself to disillus- ion him by revealing herself as the nurse who blinded him, and evades his questions re- garding her name. She pleads with Dr. LyttOn to help main- tain the delusi0n, believing it to be for Grannock's own best in- terest.

 Neyland, Texan, played end and quarterback at the Point and was great baseball pitcher, hurling four victories against the Navy. Parker, a Floridian, was a football linesman and Britton, an Iowan, participated in four major sports.

LESTER HAS A PREMONITION
 Hallie was right in believing Les ter Broom neither meddlesome nor malicious unless his own security were threatened.
 What she did not realize was that when she gave her love to his half-brother instead of him. she stabbed at his vanity-some- thing dearer to him even than his security.
 He had found himself brought abruptly against the fact that he could not offer her anything less than marriage, and, as if that were not enough, in marrying her he must run the risk of displeasing his half brother and losing his for tune. And then-when he had con- ceded all that-Hallie asked him to believe that she would not mar ry him!
 She was crazy! Of course she would marry him! Hard upon which reassuring reflection, came Dr. Lyt- ton with an incoherent account of some misunderstanding or other.
 What's it all about?" murmured Lester. What doesn't poor old Socks understand?"
 Lytton re-explained.
 Damn funny!" said Lester.
 Tt probably does strike you as humorous, returned Lytton, "but to me 1t seems profoundly tragic and profoundly-embarrassing."
 T don't follow you. How can Socks possibly have fallen in love with Miss Ellesmore if he's never seen her? And anyway, if he has, he'll fade out of the picture when he hears she's going to marry me" ]"
 Lytton tried again.
 T need your cooperation. Broom, in this" he said with exemplary self-control. "Your brother is in a difficult and dangerous nervous condition. He won't rest. He won't let me prescribe for him. He doesn't, you see. realize his blind ness yet. When he does-well, I'm watching for a collapse"
 Poor old Socks! Too bad your treatment took the wrong turning, wasn't it?"
 ,,<kov- cu,o 1louod hard
 q want you to leave your broth CT in ignorance of his mistake he brought out. Let him think-what he thinks. At any rate for some time. I am going to see Miss Elles- more and see how the land lies. In the meantime. I'd like your per- mission to find out which of the servants here know her as a nurse and to ask them to say noth- ing if she comes here again as your brother's-friend."
 You sound" said Lester star ing-"as though you thought Ha- Miss Ellesmore has fallen in love with old Socks"
 "I saw them together"
 The color mounted slowly to LeSter'S face.

SENECAS DEPLORE
CONDUCT OF TRIAL
Convinced All Evidence in
MarChand Murder Case Was
Not Uncovered.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N Y, April 16.-The
council of the Seneca Nation of In
dams at a pow-woW at Salamanca
dissatisfaction over the manner in
which the recent Aarchand murder
case was handled.
The Indians held no brief for Nancy
Bowen. the old woman who hammered
the Buffalo artists wife to Death, or
Lila Emerson, the Cayuga spinster, who
pleaded guilty to second-degree murder
before her case went to the jury, but
were emphatic in their conviction that
all the evidence in the case was not
uncovered and ali the guilty parties not
brought to justice.
To the end that all circumstances
surrounding the brutal crime may be
revealed, the Senecas, through their
assembled leaders, pledged their support.
Womans Counsel Present.
Only Nancy Bowen still is in jail
awaiting trial, which is expected to
start in about two weeks. Robert P.
Galloway, her counsel, was at the coun-
ell meeting by request.
II am confident the district attorney
will welcome as heartily as we do any
information that may come from the
Indians at this time" he told the en-
Adlai williams, clerk of the nation,
said he regretted the impression abroad
as g result of the Lila Emerson trial
that on-Christian Indians are pagans.
when the first white men knelt at
Plymouth Rock" he explained, the
Indians who gathered at the approach
of the strangers joined with them in
praise of the Creator. The same mighty
God they themselves worshiped. AS
to the witchcraft here, it is a freak
case, we know that, and we regret that
it came to such a tragic conclusion"
Reputation Is at Stake.
1.-THE reputation of our whole people
is at stake and if the story has not
been told, we think in fairness to all,
it should be-" Clerk Williams declared
From one Indian came questions as
TO why Nancy Bowen had not been
examined mentally
Other speakers reflected the feeling
aroused as a result of a line of ques-
tioning by the district attorney at the
trial relative to the prevalence of white
names among the reservation Indians
They felt, they said, that cloud had
enshrouded them since the trial and
they appealed to the fairness of the
white race in shielding the good name
of their Indian women folk.
