Weight Improves Shores.
MOT only in starting mound talent
~ but in relief hurlers, is Bill con-
fldent that he has q winning
margin, and in that department Bill
seems to know somethin'."
You remarked the other day that
you thought Bill Shores was heavier
than when you last saw him." grinned
Terry. well, that's the secret Of his
success with us the last few weeks
When we first had him we worked him
too hard and he lost his fast ball over
night.
"Since his return to us from
Kansas City he Is far heavier,
and you saw how he pitched
after going in there to relieve
Hubbell. He Is very fast and has a
sharp breaking ball, and, il nee
essary. he'll give q good account
of himself against any team"
So that's Bill Terry's pitching; the
power upon which he will rely to
nullify what he admits is superior bat
ting strength. His big four" have won
50 of the Giants SO victories. But he
hasn't forgotten that Washington also
has pitchers-and good ones.
Especially two Of 'em, to my mind,
said Bill, Stewart and Weaver. They'll
be tough!"

lily enough. "Of course, think the
catching is about even, too. because
they have a good backstop in Luke

Senators can hit and actually have hit

To him, as to the others, the absolute, pitch
black darkness was the worst thing about their
present plight. They had not yet had time
to think of the other possible dangers.
Il have some but lot of good they are"
replied Bob. They're soaking wet But the
stones dropped will show us the way out, and
I'm in favor of starting right now. We can't
get back to daylight any too soon for me-"
Keith and Jean murmured fervent agreement
and Immediately they started to crawl along
the narrow ledge Bob led the way, on hands
and knees, feeling for the precious pebbles
The others followed close behind him, with
the rope guiding them. And now they moved
with the utmost care, both because Bob had
difficulty in locating some of the pebbles and
because they had no wish to tumble again into
the chilling water of the stream beside them.
COR some reason the vast. unbroken silence
Of the cavern had not impressed them
particularly before. But now it seemed to
envelop them, to press down upon their heads
and their bent backs. The stream moved
noselessly. in its narrow channel beside them,
and not single, tiny sound was heard, except
the scrape and shuttle Of their knees along the
stone ledge, and their own breathing.
Each Of them, in his own private thoughts
blessed the pebbles that were now pointing the
way out of the cave. Without them they
would never have been able to retrace their
steps through the maze of passages. Jean
put the thought into words. mainly because the
silence terrified her, and the sound of her own
voice was welcome. Keith agreed, and once
started, they began to chatter about anything
and everything, simply to fight off that dreaded
silence
Bob took little part in the conversation.
With Keith and Jean following, he crawled
slowly along, giving every bit. Of his attention
to locating the pebbles. They proceeded for
some time in this way, with every minute
bringing them closer to safety. But Bob, al
though he had perfect picture in his mind
Of the way they had come and the various
passages and chambers they had encountered.
soon found that he had no idea where they
nov were. The absolute darkness, and their
position on hands and knees, made 1t impossible
for them to get any idea Of their surroundings.

Jean suddenly halted. They had noticed
