But the days that followed would have tested
the courage Of the stoutest heart True to his
promise to Red Barrie had talk with Coach
Nixon. and as q result he Joined the basket
ball squad at practice the following afternoon
After the coach saw him perform on the floor.
he gave him q chance at forward on the Sec
ond team, playing against the first team In
practice. And right there Barrie learned how
strong q hold Goliath Thompson had on the
basket bail squad.
1t almost appeared that the other boys had
formed a conspiracy against Barrie. No team
mate ever passed the ball to him If 1t could be
helped, and the varsity guards played against
him with viciouSneSs that could not have
been accidental. AS for Goliath himself, he
lost not single chance to rough Barrie under
cover OF the play.
. ARRIE red dozen times, but held MS
- temper Often during the next two weeks
he was ready to quit the squad in disgust but
Red wouldn't hear OF it.
you stick in there fella!' he encouraged
you're playing swell game, In spite OF the
way those other scrubs ignore you, and the
coach is no chump. He wants to put his
strongest team on the floor, and you'll get your
chance. I'll bet you are playing regularly be-
fore the season is over. And by the way, do
you know we play Bellaire over there as our
next-to-t the-laSt game?"
we do?" repeated Barrie. He pondered
that for a moment. And suddenly he found
himself with an intense desire to make the
harrisburg team to play against Bellaire and
help beat his former teammates. He was
surprised at his own feelings. Could 1t be that
his attitude result OF the way the boys
had acted when he had to leave school? Per-
haps Or maybe he Just wanted to show" his
old classmates that misfortune hadn't got him
down.
At any rate, Barrie worked harder than ever
after that, and week later he got chance.
Swayne had one of those tender noses that
bleed easily and in the last half OF the game
against Tononda, 1t was bumped. After many
efforts to stop the flow of blood, they had to
give it up. and Swayne had to leave the game
Coach Nixon sent Barrie in to take his place.
, ARKSBURG had a comfortable lead at the
l. time, but that did not dim Barrie's zeal
to make a good showing And amazingly
enough he had one of those rare nights which
come to every player, when it seems he simply
cannot miss the basket. Barrie got exactly five
shots in the remaining minutes of the game
and he counted four field goals. Red, leading
the cheers took advantage Of this chance, and
prodded the students into some very respectable
yelling for the boy they had refused to &C
cept.
'You can't keep on hating a fellow you're
cheering for" Red told himself sagely. And
besides I love to hear them yelling for Barrie,
because it simply burns Goliath up"
But things were not to go well for Barrie for
very long. The next week there occurred an
incident that set the school once more talking
about him with deep resentment.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 25.-(F
Out where the west begins John
Leonard Pepper) Martin, tramping
the game fields with his dogs and gun,
wonders If they will love him in April
as they did in October.
Impatient now for the training bar
rier to lift is the gallant figure Of the
hawk-faced, black haired kid with the
rolling walk of cowpuncher and the
tang Of the southwest in his speech.
In Peppers" athletic life there have
been only three real loves-baseball
football and hunting. He'd rather
tote gun than baseball bat. But
it was the power Of his bat that earned
him the leisure to hunt this year as he
never has been free to before.
After collecting $4,000 for post sea-
son activities, including stretch Of
vaudeville, Pepper" put his affairs In
order. He paid off the mortgage on his
mothers home, bought a house fol
his wife and youngster, hired secre-
tary to take care of hundreds and
hundreds of fan letters, and then took
to the woods.
He went after deer in the south
west, then quail and ducks closer to
home. In his armory are guns Of all
kinds. But only two bird dogs, Jack
and Joe, hold his affections as hunt
ing companions.
When the spring rolls around the
colorful kid will put away the fire
arms and step out to answer those
who wonder If his world series upris-
ing was just flash in the pan.
His baseball career never has been
easy. He had to reverse Horace
Greeley's adage and come east from
Temple Okla, to Crystal Springs
Miss, to get a start in the Tomato
League. He was miscast in q hall
dozen positions until he hit his first
major league post, after hoboing his
way to the Cards training camp. His
salary was $4,000 year when he
turned 100000 world series inside
out.
