BILL Gates, THIRD Stacker, ,.. =. .,.....,
SHOWS Big LEAGUE PROMISE
YOUTHFUL INFIELDER HOLDS
DOWN HOT CORNER ABLY;
STICK WORK FOR 1885
HITS .279 AVERAGE
By JULIAN STENSTROM
lin The Sanford Herald

Bill. Gates, young third sack
er for the Lookocts, seems to
have received publicity from a
large number OF newspapers In
the Eastern states.
Bill was admitted to the Brook
lyn Dodgers training camp at
Orlando in 1885, and there he
made great showing and was
nearly taken to the Big Show, but
for a major league rule it was i'm
possible to take him up.
Gates was sent to Leaksville
to ho.d down third BUT he did
not like the place and asked for
his release to play in the south.
He signed up with Gainesville
of the Northeast Florida League,
but due to a sore arm he was
released. Gates was hired by the
Sanford club last year and play
ed every game until the last three
weeks of the season when he was
called to Key West by his fam
lily. Gates was on the last train
to go over the oversee bridge be-
fore it was destroyed by a hurri-
cane.
Gates finished last year hitting
.297, which was a good average
for this league, and he secured
base hits in every game with the
exception of seven.
At the beginning of the 1886
season he received a letter from
Bert Chapman, temporarily man
ager of the Lookorts at that
time, asking him to return to the
Sanford club again this season,
which he did. He was hitting
AL at the end of the first three
weeks of play.
Although Gates has been in a
batting slump lately, his defense
at third base has been highly
commendable.

THE door Of Shipley's cottage was

"No, you don't" Hylton frustrated
her determined effort to slam the
door in his face by lightning-like
. forward movement of his foot. The
Inspector forced his way into the
hall.

said, you're acting like fool. You

But once in the sitting room, David Sotril,

gust Bank Holiday of 1893; in very few
minutes Maggie O'Farrell, the younger, was
to marry her masterful lover, David Sotril,
in church near the pleasant old-fashioned
rooms in Southwark where she had lived for
over year with her friend, Jane Smith.
Maggie was seventeen, Jane twenty-five.
You're not in love with Dave" said Jane
slowly. You don't know what love is'
Il like that! You think you've corner
in love - thanks to stodgy John Bosely,"
cried Maggie gaily.
Jane flushed. Leave me out of it," she
said sharply. We're talking of you now, and
times running short"
She glanced at the clock You don't really
want to be Maggie Sotril instead of Maggie
O'Farrell - now do you? Sotril What a

Its unusual - that's ALL said Maggie
defensively. Your John says he won't be

He'd lose his job at the bank in minute
if it got found out" cried Maggie.
II wonder if he would John told me yester-
day that the manager has already picked
Dave out for special work."
Maggie O'Farrell went on staring with un-
seeing eyes at the spire of the old church
where her marriage was about to take place,
and there came strong feeling over Jane
Smith that she must do something anything,
to prevent or at any rate postpone the
wedding.

just tit for tatr' She gave wild, hysterical
laugh, and Jane looked at her anxiously.
Maggie had happy, lightsome nature, yet
at times there was something about her queer
and unrestrained; in those days folk called
it being ''hysterical.'
There were seventeen couples waiting to
be married that morning, and as the two
friends stepped into the cool church, more
than one of the other bridegrooms there gave
beautiful Maggie O'Farrel good long stare.

His smouldering eyes were devouring his
future wife. And yet even while they de-
voured her in gloating, possessive way that
repelled Maggie's friend, he was wondering
within himself whether he was not being
fool after all. 1t was the first time that he
had ever done anything that might possibly
cause check to his ambitious plans; for he
was acutely aware that if his marriage were
discovered, he would be pitilessly dismissed
