Joe Sewell, with only weeks of
experience in the American League,
was big factor in Cleveland's victory,
and came out of that series a veteran,
as well poised and confident as if he
had been starring in the league for
fifteen years - as he was destined to
do. Fighting heart did that.
Take the case OF Pepper Martin.
Pepper hit stardom in the single week
of that Cardinals-Athletics series of
1891 when he hit safely twelve times
in seven games; drove home four runs
in single game. batted 500 and other
wise made life miserable for the Ath-
letics. His has been a great name in
baseball ever since.
Yes, the fellow with the fighting
heart is pretty handy chap to have
around. And it's the fighting ball club
that can get the mental edge early,
and apply the pressure. that comes
close to being the winning club.
Maybe you think it's just a job to
be out there in action when the game
that will clinch the series hangs on
how the next ball is hit and handled.
Sure it's a job. But it's more than
that. It's thrill, too. and if you don't
believe it Id like to see you out there
some afternoon when one of those
three and two" situations is up!

you happen to be rookie serving your
first year in the major leagues or
whether you're veteran star rounding
out great career. Anything can hap
pen. Circumstances can conspire to
make veteran, proven star look bad.
Or Fate can set the stage to make
shooting star of a fighting youngster
or hitherto obscure player who has
the fighting heart.
There was the case of Joe Sewell. for
instance. Fresh from the University cf
Alabama, he was called upon in the
late weeks of the 1920 season to fill the
gap in the Cleveland Indians infield
left by the tragic death of Ray Chap
man.
That was tight series, with the
winning club in five of the seven games
scoring no more than three runs. In
those pitchers battles, when a single
run means the ball game. the short
stop is in tough spot. Let him bobble
a adouble-play ball and it may mean the
difference between victory and defeat.

In none of the four games did we
score less than five runs. We battled
through the whole series to the tune of

its effect in giving us the upper hand.

than Frank Frisch, manager of the St,
Louis Cardinals. We're both New

Rochelle - products of New York

when he was playing football and
baseball at Fordham. and when he
went along up to the Giants with
John McGraw, told him that I'd
keep pace by catching on with the
Yankees. And l did so a few years
later. We see good deal of each other
now. during the winter.
But one day in 1928 our friend
ship might have been pretty well
strained if both of us did not under
stand the code of the playing fields.
The Yanks were playing the Cards
in the world series. We had won the
American League flag - but We were

we went into the series. Lazzeri had a
bad arm. Herb Pennock had neuritis.
Wiley Moore's pitching arm was sore,
Combs had broken a wrist and had
a mouthful of loose teeth as result of
bang in the face.
But sometimes it's an advantage to
be the underdog, forced to fight des-
perately. We got off to fast start,
winning the first two games. The third
game, along about the fourth inning.
found the score close. with Ruth on
second, myself on first and Bob
Meusel at bat. Meusel hit ground
ball to Rabbit Maranville at short
stop, and it looked like double play.
Babe was off with the crack of the
bat and set sail for second. l reached
the bag just as Frisch. covering second.
took the toss from Maranville and was
wheeling to make the throw to first.
Naturally. I tied into Frisch with
everything l had to upset his throw
and prevent completion of the double
play. As a result, his peg to Bottom

safe. Bottomley recovered, however,
to throw to Jimmy Wilson. the Cards
catcher, in an attempt to head of
Ruth, who had kept right on going.
The ball and the Babe reached home
at the same, precise instant. But the
Babe had more power The ball went
one way, Jimmy Wilson's chest pro-
tector another, and Jimmy a third.
The Babes run scored; we won the
game and, eventually, the series.
That was play that could have
made plenty of trouble. The sparks
flew that day. but when Frisch and I
met at home in New York during the
winter, all was well.

Monsieur will be greatly inconven-

find quite distasteful. But if perhaps l
can be of assistance, do not hesitate"
He raised his hat and was gone.
The sun sank slowly in the west.
The little amphitheatre became CEN
ter of busting activity. Natives clad
in loin cloths moved purposefully
about, their muscles rippling under
skins as lustrously smooth as the pet
ais of a flower.
More than a hundred spectators
had been quietly congregating under
the coconut palms, as the shadows
heightened and the glowing rocks in
the pit became as red Goals Of fire.
Some distance apart, seated by
themselves, IN the calm meditation of
those who are about to perform some
sacred ceremony, the little group Of
fire-walkers sat in solemn conclave.
Burke looked about him. There
were natives who had seen the spec
tacle perhaps many times before. yet
who watched with rapt and reverent
attention. There were tourists whose
faces plainly showed their incredulity.
One skeptical observer sat with his
back propped against palm tree,
powerful binoculars glued to his eyes.
He was watching the little group of
fire-dancers and had been watching
them ever since early in the afternoon.

and the group of fire-walkers got to
their feet. The chief. wearing a head
dress composed of long, glossy green
leaves, came forward. A native ap-
preached with an armful of the green
leaves. some two feet in length. The
chief Of the fire-walkers brandished the
green leaves about in the air. shaking
them at the heavens, then started beat
ing at the rocks.
Burke's startled eyes saw the leaves
suddenly burst into fame. They burnt
with cracking vigor. as though they
had been dry tinder. For a moment
the flames lighted the chiefs counte-
nance, then he tossed the burning
leaves out into the pit. where they
were consumed to writhing. twisting
wisps.
Burke moved close to Lynn Down

casual. said, Have you decided how
long you're staying on the island?"
She avoided his eyes. I'm leaving

He had expected this answer. and
was able to say, almost casually. I'm
sailing tonight. myself"
She was about to make some COM
ment when young native girl brushed
against her and pushed folded slip Of
paper into her hands. Lynn Downey
turned to eye the girl curiously.
Please read it," the girl said and
then. moving with smooth grace, be-
came lost in the crowd Of spectators.
Burke felt satisfied that Lynn had
not been expecting this paper. Making
no attempt to conceal it from him, she
unfolded it with the curiosity Of one
who more than half expects that
message has been delivered to the
wrong party.
Thepaper was scovered with penciled,

Lynn Downey was startled, Burke
could see that Her first reaction was
to glance over her shoulder, trying to

she flashed Burke suspicious glance.

Whatever does it mean?''
Burke said slowly, Il fancy that it
refers to the bit of paper you're carry

She started to say something, but
was interrupted by barrage of native
talk which came from the lips of the

Medicine Man Made Butte
Tumble From Place Atop High Peak
By GEORGE MARSH

Every visitor to Butte has noticed
the cone-shaped hill northwest of the
city with the huge m" of whitewashed
rocks placed on it by students of the
State School of Mines. Everyone knows,
too, that the city was named for this
butte, which is a French word mean
ing rounded hill" But long before the
white men came to scratch the gravel
of the hill with their picks improvised
from elk horns in their search for
gold, the Indians called the butte, Evil
Mountain.
The legend is this: Centuries ago
Big Butte did not stand where it nov
does but was the highest peak of the
Continental divide three miles to the
east: At this time the Indians of the
northwest were nobler than they r
today and we're under the special pro-
lection of the Great Spirit.
The young chief of one of the most
powerful tribes in the valley lost his
life at the hands of an enemy on the
summit of Big Butte. Thereupon the
chief medicine man cursed the noun
tain and ordered it banished from its
sister peaks and removed to the valley.
During the night which followed, the
peak was torn from its base and hurled
to the present site Of Walkerville.
Its base forms the hill in which near
ly all the gold, silver, and copper mines
are situated because the base when it
struck the ground, crumbled away leav-
ing the peak much reduced in size. The
butte slid along the ground leaving the
ridge still connecting it with the high
ground at Walkervi1le before it came
to rest in its present position.
Thereafter, no more trees grew upon
the peak; it bore the name of Evil
Mountain, and if a red man, dissatis-
fled within, sought relief from his
troubles by elf-destructien, its summit
was usually chosen for his last view of
the earth.
Modern biologists take a less fanciful
theory when they state that Big Butte
was probably a volcanic vent. The huge
a few miles west of the hill support
this statement.
