Two others, big men like their accomplice,

Mr.. Lander listlessly assented. A tenth was

They played through the evening. Mr..
Lander won eleven dollars. On the merits of
the play he was better than any of the others.
Their methods of bidding seemed to him
temperamental and unsound. This, he as
sumed, was part of the system.
See you in the morning. they said when
the game broke up.
At breakfast the ruddy man looked him
up.
What about another shot at it, K.C.?"
Il don't even know who you and your
friends are," returned Mr. Lander severely.
He had slept little and his nerves were bad.

Thus far he had been able to exculpate
himself. Then came his sorry effort to recoup.
Desperation and confidential tip from

stock crashed. His lock-box was full of the

He must wait. But he could wait with less
strain away from home. Having made up his
mind, he could no longer face Elias quiet
trust and affection, her composed, courageous
acceptance of misfortune. He was afraid of
breaking down. of betraying his intention.

talk with Clark Griffith concern
ing Gomez, Charley Ruff1ng or any
of the Yankee malcontents. Griff
is a stickler for the outward forms
of ethics and convention in base
ball. But he is not closing his eyes
to possibilities. In fact, he sets
ethics in one eye and selfish inter-
ests in the other and looks at
them-well, maybe he gives selfish
interests a little the best Of it.

Cecil Travis arrived in camp
last night shortly after dinner,

drawlin' Georgian has spent the
winter on his Georgia farm doing
the chores that country boys do
on their acres. He will sign his
contract today.
Travis thinks that this will be
his year at Shortstop. He was
shunted into the job last year,
moved into the outfield and then
returned to the infield. He never
had an opportunity to set himself
at any one spot. But this year it
will be different. He is the short
stop unless something entirely un-
foreseen develops.

Travis the fullest opportunity

and his whole performance was
highly encouraging. If Hogan
comes through as I think he will,
he will mean a great deal to this
ball club.

Johnny Salveson in action yester-
day. He worked with the greatest
of ease, but he showed that he
knows the score and all the an
swers. You knew he was veteran
when you saw him toe the rubber.

There's a kid on this field
named Jake Early, a catcher. Just
a kid, but a kid who shows all the
promise of some Of the great 'uns
of other years. He's a throwback
to the old school. Had just
enough money to get here, and
wasn't hampered by excess bag
gage.
"Where'S your OvercOat?"
asked Griff this morning as the
team prepared to go to the field.

treasurer of the Amateur Athletic
Union, today accorded Archie San
Romani a place in his book among
the greatest thrill-makers ever 10
go into action on the boards down
through 40 A. A. U. national track
and field championships.
Ferris hasn't been a witness
to all those meets, but he takes it
for ranted that in the ones he
missed few athletes have done any
thing to over ladow the dramatics
of Saturday night when the Olym-
plan from Emporia Teachers Col
lege of Kansas won the 1900
meter title and Gene Venzke col.
lapsed trying to keep it.
gwen OId-timers tell me they
have never seen anything to
SurpasS that race and the way
San ROmani won it, Ferris said.
ut was terrific, with as many
thrills packed INTO The last lap
rs I've ever seen in any event.
No, I don't think Glenn Cunning
hams presence in the field, espe-
cially with the heavy cold he
has, would have added anything
to the race"
The $4,000 spectators, who were
about as near to proStration as
the dethroned VenZke at the finish
of the evenings headline attrac-
tion, probably have added their
acclaim for the dark-haired Kan
san.
Displays Glass
The result of their ballots for
the outstanding performer in the
meet will be announced tomorrow.
In winning his first national
title, San Romani utilized the
best features of a steam-roller and
q whippet to smear an interna-
tional field. He VIRTUALLY ran
over Luigi Beccali, of Italy, and
VenZke, the old Penn standby,
near the last turn, then let them
chase him the rest Of the way
when he made his sprint.
BeccaI achieved his best per
formance Of his current American
campaign in taking second by a
foot, while through all this
Venzke was running his legs into
nubs trying to retain the title, but
even with dive into collapse at
the tape could take only third.
Left behind were MikloS Szabo, of
Hungary; Don Lash, of Indiana,
and Arthur Clarke, of Canada.
Outruns Lash
Under the circumstances it
probably was just as we'll for his
prestige that Cunningham re-
manned out Of that one, because
Of his cold, and confined himself
to the 2,900-meter relay. He ran
the 1,500-meter anchor leg for the
curb exchange quartet and over
hauled Lash, running the last leg
for Indiana, but Cunningham said
he did not feel up to his best
form.
If the customers by some quirk
passed up San Romani in their
balloting on the athletes, the
award might go to any one of
two or three other performers.
Tom Deckard, of Indiana, might
be elected on the strength of his
new world mark for the 5000
meter SteenlechaSe in which he
dethroned the perennial Joe Nc
Clusky.
Or they might name Edward T.
Burke, Marquette University
Negro who kept the crowd there
until a. M, long after everything
else was over. He scared 6 feet
9A inches for a new high-jump
record, left Cornelius Johnson,
among others, well behind, and
finally fell off trying to make it
6 feets1O.
