Pitching in Both Leagues
All Alike to Zeke.

All this, of course, was silly Zeke
IS no Babe Dahlgren around first
base, but he isn't a bad first base
man, either And he always could
hit. In Chicago and Washington
he walloped the ball, just as he has
been walloping it around the Ma
tional League circuit. In his book
there is no difference in the pitch
ing in the two leagues. The Amer
ican League pitching was just as
soft, where he was concerned.
1t wasn't for any lack of skill-or
any falling off-that he was waived
out of the American League. He
was feuding with Clark Griffith and
Griff didn't want him any more,
and there was no place else he could
go in the league, either because
every other club had a first base
man or couldn't afford to buy Zeke
or to pay him what he was worth.
So along came the Giants to pay
the Senators s25,00O for him and
boost his salary.
Now that Bonura is hammering
the ball and Juggling the Giants
along with him toward the top of
the league. the fire of ridicule once
aimed at him has been switched to
Griff and Jimmy Dykes, who also
INDUCED in some pleasantries at his
expense in the early spring. No Won
der Zeke laughs and laughs as he
pounds the ball-and looks over hjs
shoulder once in a while and sees
the White Sox and the Senators
f1oundering for the lack of a punch.

Giants Pitchers Keep Up
With Zeke's Proqress.

Bonura's steady slamming has
been accompanied by steady prog
ress on the part of the Giants
younger pitchers-Lohrman, Salvo
and Cumberland it begins to look
as If Terry's early appraisal of his
staff was correct. Bill said, when
he assembled his pitchers at the
training camp at Baton Rouge, that
he would have the best pitching in
the league, Few who heard him
then believed him, and in the weeks
that followed his pitching was
spotty. But right now it is the best
In the league-and it is getting bet
ter.
And if these young pitchers hold
up and the Giants remain close to
the Cardinals and the Reds, when
September rolls around you may
see Carl Hubbell right in the thick
OF the pennant fight again.
Carl has figured only lightly in
the operations of the Giants so far
this year. Less than a month ago
1t seemed as if he might never figure
again-but don't bet against Hub
being in there-and winning-if the
checks are down in earnest in Sep
tember.
He isn't the pitcher he used to be,
but he isn't quite a hollow shell.
There never was a better money
pitcher in any era the game ever
has known-and if the going gets
rough and tight, don't be surprised
to see him starting a game about
once week or doing a little relief
work now and then.
The Giants have got along with
out him very well these last couple
of weeks, But they may be leaning
on him again before the tussle is
over.

CHAPTER XVI

Young Baldwin Barnes, on Satur-
day morning, ate breakfast alone in
the little house. He read his paper
and drank his coffee. But the SAVIOR
of things was gone. He missed
Jane. Her engaging chatter, the
spirited challenge, even the small ir-
ritations. "She is such a darling
DEAR" was his homesick meditation.
Oh, a man needed a woman on
the other side of the table. And
when Jane was married, what then?
Edith!
Oh, if he might! If Philomel might
sing for her! Toast and poached
eggs! Nectar and ambrosia! His
little house a castle!
"But it isn't mine own" the young
poet reminded himself; "there is
still the mortgage" He came down
to earth, cleared the table, fed the
pussy-cats. Then he went down to
the post-box to get the mail.
The Barnes mail was rarely vo-
luminous, rarely interesting. A bill
or two, a letter from Judy-some
futile advertising stuff.
This morning, however, there was
long envelope. In one corner was
the name of the magazine to which,
nearly six months before, Badly had
sent his prize cover design. The

It's rare city that hasn't one or
more clubs where magicians meet
frequently to see and discuss the
latest tricks.
A recent convention here of the
Pacific Coast Association of Magi-
clans attracted 300 persons. Dele
gates stood in line to buy the latest
inventions.
The chief issue before magical So
cieties is the exposure of tricks to
the general public. To magicians
this breach of secrecy is crime
comparable to manslaughter but
since the government has not writ
ten it into the criminal code the
worst penalty that can be inflicted
is ostracism by ones fellow per-
formers.

Magic for Everyone Growing Fad in the u S.

SAN JOSE, CALIF.-If you see
your neighbor lock his wife in a
trunk and walk nonchalantly away,
don't call the police.
Even if the neighbor returns with
an armful of swords and begins
stabbing the trunk in murderous
frenzy, think twice before scream
ing.
The chances are your neighbor is
merely one of the growing legion of
Americans who fancies himself as
a magician and that-like nine
tenths of them-he uses his wife as
an assistant.
The job is a bit hard on the little
woman. Owing partly to the influ-
ence of the late Harry Houdini,
the escape artist, magic nowadays
involves being handcuffed, sewn up
in sack, locked into a medieval
pillory, nailed up in a packing box
or having ones head apparently
Topped off by guillotine.
A slender and good-looking girl
may even look forward to being
sawed in half.
Magic has had it's followers as far
back as history goes, but it has taken
modern industrial methods to put it
in reach of everybody. The butcher
or baker who wants to astound his
friends at Saturday night party
can buy an illusion, paraphernalia
and instructions, as casually as he
buys package of cigarets.

its spots to big frame from which

New HOt-Water BottIe.-Add a
teaspoonful of glycerine to the hot
water when filling new rubber

This keeps the rubber soft and in
good condition.
Care of Electric COrd.-Don't

1t is not a cord, but two bundles
of wires.
Removing OdOrs.-Odors can be
removed from bottles by rinsing
with cold water to which a little
dry mustard is added.
When Glass Breaks.-A handful
of moistened absorbent cotton will
pick up bits of broken glass with

Restoring Leather Bindings
Equal parts of milk and white of

Topping for Pork Roast.-For
tasty topping for that pork loin
roast: when the roast is nearly

Edith read the note twice, then
put it to her lips. She hardly dared
admit to herself the keenness of
her disappointment.
She stood for long time at the
window looking out. Why had Jane
decided not to marry Uncle Fred
erick? What had happened since
yesterday afternoon?
From Edith's window she could
see the south lawn. The servants
were arranging buffet luncheon.
Little tables were set around-and
wicker chairs. Adelaide, tall and
fair, in her favorite blue and broad
black hat stood by one of the little
tables. She was feeding the pea
cock with bits of bread. She made
picture, and Towne's window
faced that way.
81 wonder" Edith said, and
stopped. She remembered coming
in from the movies the night be-
fore and finding Adelaide and Towne
out on the porch. And where was
Jane?
Towne did not eat lunch. He
pleaded important business, and had
his car brought around. But every
body knew that he was following
Jane. Mystery was in the air. AIDE
laide was restless. Only Edith knew
the truth.
After lunch, she told Lucy. "Jane
isn't going to marry Uncle Fred. I
don't know why. But I am afraid
that it is breaking up your house
party"
81 hope it is" said Lucy, calmly.
"Delafeld is bored to death. He
wants to get back to his pigs and
roses. I am speaking frankly to
you because I know you understand.
I want our lives to be bigger and
broader than they would have been
if we hadn't met. And as for you"
her voice shook a little" you'll
always be a sort of goddess bless
ing our hearth"
Edith bent and kissed her, emo
ton gripping her. "Your hearth is
blessed without me-" she said, "but
I'll always be glad to come"
Towne, riding like mad along the
Virginia roads, behind the compe-
tent Briggs, pondered over James
letter.
81 was not upstairs last night
when you came. I was asleep in
the window-seat of the living-room,
just off the porch. And your voice
walked me and heard what you
said, and Mrs. Laramore. And I
can't marry you. l know how much
you've done for me-and I shall
never forget your goodness. Badly
will take me home.''
Enclosed was pink check.
Towne blamed Adelaide furious
ly. Of course it was her fault. Such
foolishness. And sentimentality.
And he had been weak enough to
fall for it.
Yet, as he cooled a bit, he was
glad that Jane had showed her re-
sentiment. 1t was in keeping with
his conception of her. Her innocence
had famed against such sophistica-
ton. There might, too, be a hint
of jealousy. Women were like that.
Jealous.
AS they whirled through Washing
ton, Briggs voiced his fears. eff we
meet cop it will be all up with us,
Mr.. Towne.'
"Take chance, Briggs. Give
her more gas. We've got to get
there"
With all their speed, however, it
was four o'clock when they reached
Sherwood. Towne was still in the
clothes he had worn on the links.
He had not eaten since breakfast.
He felt the strain.
He stormed up the terrace, where
once he had climbed in the snow.
He rang the bell. It whirred and
whirred again in the silence. The
house was empty.

The second gallery looked out

"Baldy, something has happened

she said, 81 can't marry him."
"Of course not. A girl like you.
You'd be miserable. And that's the
end of it.

before her. Then presently she went

In Baldy's pocket was the pink
slip. He took it out and handed it
to his sister. "Jane, I got the prize.
Two thousand dollars"
"Baldy!" Her tone was incredu-
lous.
He had no joy in the announce
ment. The thing had ceased to mean
freedom-it had ceased to mean
Edith. 1t meant only one thing at
the moment, to free Jane from bond
age.
He gave Jane the letter and she
read it. 1T is your great oppor-
tunity."
eyes" He refused to discuss that
aspect of it. "And it comes in the
nick of time for you, old dear"
Their flight was hurried one. A
note for Lucy and one for Towne.
A note for Edith!
Jane was not well was the reason
given their hostess. The note to
Towne said more than that. And
the note left for Edith was-renun-
citation.
Edith coming home to luncheon
found the note in her room. All
the morning she had been filled with
glorious anticipation. Badly would
arrive in a few hours. Together
they would walk down that trellised
path to the fountain, they would sit
on the marble coping. She would
trail her hand through the water.
Further than that she would not let
her imagination carry her. 1t was
enough that she would see him in
that magic place with his air of
golden youth.
But she was not to see him, for
the note said:
"Beloved-I make no excuse for
calling you that because I say it
always in my heart-Jane has made
up her mind that she cannot marry
your uncle. So we are leaving at
once.
81 can't tell you what the thought
of these two days with you meant
to me. And now must give them
up. Perhaps I must give you up,
I don't know. I came with high
hopes. I go away without any hope
at all. But l love you."

thing had almost gone out of his
thoughts. He had long ceased to
hope. Money did not miraculously
fall into ones lap.
He tore open the envelope. With
in was closely typed letter and a
pale pink check.
The check was for two thousand
dollars. He had won the prize!
Breathless with the thought of it,
deprived of strength, he sat down
on the terrace steps. Merrymaid
and the kitten came dcwn and an
gled for attention, but Badly over
looked them utterly. The letter
was astounding. The magazine had
not only given him the prize but they
wanted more of his work. They
would pay well for it-and if he
would come to New York at their
expense, the art editor would like to
talk it over!
Badly, looking up from the preg-
nant phrases and catching Merry
maids eye upon him, demanded,
"Now, what do you think of that?
Shall I resign from the office? I'll
tell the world, will"
Oh, the thing might even make it
possible for him to marry Edith.
He could at least pay for the honey
moon-preserve some sense of per-
sonal independence while he worked
towards fame. If she would only
see it. That he must ask her to live
for a time-in the little house. He'd
make things easy for her-oh, well,
the thing could be done-it could be
done.
He flew up the steps on the wings
of his delight. He would ride like
the wind to Virginia-find Edith in a
rose-garden, fling himself at her
feet Declare his good fortune! And
he would see her eyes!
Packing his bag, he decided to
stop in Washington, and perpetrate
few extravagances. Something for
Edith. Something for Jane. Some
thing for himself. There would be
no harm in looking his best
He arrived at Grass Hills in time
for lunch. His little flivver came up
the drive as proudly as a limou-
sine. And Badly descending was
gay and gallant figure. There was
no one in sight but the servants who
took his bag, and drove his car
around to the garage. A maid in
rose linen said that Mr.. and Mrs.
Simms were at the stables. Miss
Towne was on the links with the
other guests, and would return from
the Country Club in time for lunch
at two o'clock. Miss Barnes was
upstairs. Her head had ached, and
she had had her breakfast in bed.
"Will you let her know that I am
here?"
The maid went up and came down
to say that Miss Barnes was in the

Golfers Last Chance

Armed with six golf clubs, a ball,
and caddie, he marched off to
the links.
The caddie placed the ball on

swing, the fat man whirled his
club through the air. But the lit
tie white ball remained on it's tee,
while the club, meeting mother
earth, broke into splinters.
The second, third, fourth, and

youngster replied, Don't give in!
