Sister in Panic as
Brother Is Lost
By JUDITH KEPHART, IL,

Gsithersburg Md Elementary School,
MY most exciting adventlUe-and
worst scare-came when my little
brother. Reg. was lost.
My mother had gone to get the
cows one day because it was grow
Ing dark, and my father hadn't
come home from work yet. Mother
told my sister. Eleanor. and me to
watch Reg but as most children
would do, we watched him for a
while, then we forgot about him
and did something else
Presently my mother came in and
wanted to know where Reg. was.
We told her We didn't know. When
we couldn't find him, everybody was
frightened We searched for him
everywhere. but we couldn't find
him, and We called but he didn't
answer.
Then my mother looked in the
bedroom. There he lay, on the bed
sound asleep with a piece of cake
in his hand That's an adventure
III never forget.

The Deserted Road
Prise Csxribmfiox.


BY BETSY HAYFORD, IA,
Haymarket tVa) High School,
Old road in the autumn,
Do you ever see;
Visions of past travellers
Children just like me?
Did little Indian children.
With their moccasined feet;
Run along here swiftly,
Some warrior bold to meet?
Did you ever see oxen
Go by with creaking cart,
Across this little stream
And make the wild deer start?
Did ladies ride position,
And stage coaches pass by
Maybe marching soldiers,
With hope and courage high?
Old road you now are nothing more
Than a path beside the stream.
Your days of usefulness are gone,
But-you still have left your
dreams.

Running Wild on Boses
Used to Be Common

Fans are apt to discount base
stealing and other records estab-
lished in the 10Th century because
the rules and conditions of the game
were different. They are right about
base-stealing to a certain extent,
but only to a certain extent. Be-
fore 1893, the pitcher stood SO feet
from the plate, and the base-thieves
behind him ran wild. In 1888, for
instance, Harry Stovey of the old
Athletics stole 1856 bases. In 1890
he stole 1876. and Billy Hamilton of
the Phils stole lis in 1891.
In 1893 they shook up the rules
and moved the pitcher 10 feet
farther away from the plate. This
change achieved its principal pur-
pose. to fatten batting averages,
but it also reduced the base-stealing
totals by giving the pitcher closer
supervision over the runners. This
being the case, the records of Ham
ilton for 1894 and 1895 (99 and 90
and of Lange for 1868 are little
short of phenomenal.
Lange was a big fellow, 6 feet 4
inches tall and 220 pounds on his
winged hooves. He must have been
a painful sight to infielders covering
second base as he catapulted toward
them, loaded for bear and Short
stops, for history tells us that Big
William hated to detour, and the
tagger who stood in his path was
likely to wind up on the small, if
any, of his back.

One of Years Best Cotchers:
Leonard on Way to Mark

ter against the Indians and that
four-hitter by Leonard yesterday was
a gem. The Browns only run was
unearned.

Sometimes you run across ball

Dickey there aren't any standouts."
Meanwhile. Leonard is another
Nat-and Case, too-who is carrying
on to his finest season. That win
yesterday put him only one away
from the total with which he fin
ished the 1888 season, his first in the
league. Leonard had II wins as
against IS defeats last year. With
an 11-4 record now and two months
OF the season to go, Dutch seems
cinch to better that mark by plenty.
For nearly six innings Leonard
had a no-hitter yesterday. Then,
with two out in the sixth, George
McQuinn drove long fly which
escaped Case. 1t dropped for triple
but no damage was done until the
seventh, when wild throw to first

their run.

Both Combinations Waltz
Into Quorter-FinoIs;;
Riggs Meets J. Hunt
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. g.
The national and Davis Cup doubles
situations were the big talking points
st the 49th annual Meadow Club
invitation tournament today as
result Of the surprises turned in by
a pair of pickup" teams which
didn't figure to go anywhere.
Gene Mako, who has been at some
what loose ends as a doubles player
since Partner Don Bulge turned pro,
and Gardner Mulloy. the Miami ace,
made up one Of the pairs. Norman
Bickel, Chicago University grad
uate, and Marvin Wachman, a
Northwestern alumnus, were the
other duo.
Every one thought these two teams
lacked the necessary experience as
partners. But yesterday they won
two matches each to waltz into the
quarter-flnals.
Bickel and Wachman Impressive.
And, since the national doubles are
coming up at Brookline in two weeks,
and the Davis Cup just a short time
after that, it's going to be mighty
hard to laugh off these fellows. All
four have ambitions toward both the
Forthcoming competitions.
Although Mako and Mulloy are the
more illustrious in net circles, the
el-Wachman team was the more
impressive yesterday. Bickel was sup
posed to have been paired in this
tourney with his Western clay court
title partner, Johnny Shostrom, but
the latter was delayed in arriving
from Chicago. so Norman went on
with Wachman.
The luck of the draw threw them
against the top-ranking team, Joe
Hunt and Sidney Wood, in the first
round, and they trounced this highly
regarded pair. 3-6. 6-3, 60. Then
they went on to whip Ladislav Hecht
OF Czecho-Slovakia and the veteran
j. Gilbert Hall.
Net Bosses May Split Pair.
Today, after those two conquests,
Bickel and Wachman are not at all
sure they want 10 split up, although
they must depend upon the decision
OF the Chicago Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. The Chicago powers may
decree that Bickel continue with
Shostrom.
Mulloy and Mako were less impress
sive, despite their two conquests, be-
cause neither boasts an effective
service. They showed none of the
smoothness of Bickel and Wachman.
A definite climax will be provided
in the singles today, when Bobby
Riggs meets Joe Hunt in quarter
final match. A bitter rivalry exists
between the two.
Henry Prusoff of Seattle. another
quarter-finalist, is expected to de-
fault to Bob Kamrath Of Austin, Tex.
Prusoff, who upset Bitsy Grant
opening day, has been weakened by
a recurrence of trouble with torn
stomach muscles.
