BRADY ’! >♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦!l»»»♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦ The baseball fe-er for the coming season was on, and the teams were being made up with unusual care, for half a dozen tow ns within a dozen miles of one another had formed a league with a view to disputing a championship before the diamond ' should be des<-rted In favor es the grid iron. No professional players were ai lowed to take part, and every precau tlon was taken to Insure uu amateur series of games. As the season advanced the different teams were found to be so evenly matched that it was Imptssible to pre diet- which two Would play the finals for the champion prize bat inlaid with silver and beautiful to behold / DC . i / ✓ A lx - =Er S> / '.A&r 4 pg ■ KINSEY WAS WATCHING HIM CLOSELY. At first the Forest Hills led, with the j Sparksvilles second. Then the Ham- ; inond Centers and Gullfords crept I upon these teams and passed them. , And so the record kept changing till | midsummer, when it became evident i that two teams, both of which had been at the foot of the list at the start, the Hiltons and the Ferncliffes. stood ! at the head of the list, and one or the other was bound to win the bat. I The reason of this was that both ! these teams, after the first few games had been plnyed, got In new captains, who took them In hand In earnest and coached them splendidly. Warfield of the Hammond Centers was jocularly spoken of as having been born with a baseball in his mouth, and Kinsey of tiie Ferncliffes was represented when a baby as having thrown away his bottle and called for a bat. Each man weeded out the imor material be found in his team and replaced It with the I best. It was said that Warfield could ; tell a good catcher by his walk and that Kinsey could make a twirler in three lessons of any man. Tiie excitement had been increasing during the playlug of the games up to the point of deciding which teams should make the final struggle for the [ bat, and when this was determined it reached fever heat. While there was ill feeling between the partisans, there was none what1 ever between the two teams. The cap- , tains were the best of friends and remained so notwithstanding the rivalry. Each told the other that he expected to be beaten, but would die game, though no such admission was allowed to get out The excitement ran as high among the girls of the different towns as among the young men. many girls having sewed or embroidered on their caps or tiielr sweaters or their jackets tiie letter H or F With the exception of those girls living in one of the towns from which the rival clubs balled, the preference depended on the attractiveness of one or more players. This gave Captain Warfield a majority of tiie sympathy, for lie was a fine looking fellow, while Kinsey's nose had been broken at football, which sadly marred Ids appearance. A week before tiie champion game was to be played the pitcher of the Ferncliffe team received a blow in the eye from a ball which not only closed it. but bld fair to be followed by serious consequences. At nny rate, the accident eliminated him from the coming game Where was Kinsey to find a pitcher to take the place of the one he had lost? The terms adopted by the league required that all the players should be residents of the town which tiie ten in represented. Kinsey told Warfield that he must either have authority to go outside the county for a pitcher or give up the struggle. Warfield consented To his doing so provided only nn amateur wns Introduced. Immediately nfter this arrangement Kinsey wns known to be giving Instructions to bls pitcher, but since these lessons were in private it wns not known who the pitcher was. He i said that he was obliged to make a I pitcher since there was none ready

made nt hand. The person he- was instructing did not come to Kinsey fori instruction. Kinsey went to bis pupil i For this reason it was difficult to find out who was the man being taught to twirl. This matter seriously disturbed the betting on the champion game. Kin sey was Importuned witli questions ’ about bls new pitcher and how the matter wcnld affect the game. He re ' Idled that in his own opinion his team had ns good a chance for winning with the substitute as with the original, but he declined to give an opinion as to the ■ result. A man named Kyle, who was iiettlng on the game, so persisted in •his miestlons as to who the new Jdtch er was, where he came from and what was his record that Kinsey, finally | losing bls patience, said: “I don’t know that I’ll have a pitch ; er. I may have to take one from the | i team." "That will make you a man short" ' said Kyle. "Suppose It should?" "In that case I’ll bet you SSO you | lose the game." "I’m not betting on the game, but if ’ you’ll make the stake a present for the I pitcher to cost not more than slo ■ against a box of cigars to cost the i same amount I’ll take you.” “All right" said Kyle; “it's a .go." Several persons who were standing near were puzzled nt this strange eon tract but interpreting it favorably for I the Ferncliffe team, went away to get | bets against it. The incident wns | spread abroad and tended to stimulate ; the backing of Kinsey's team, though ! odds were obtained, it being reported j that the pitcher would come from the : team as already constituted and that i the game was liable to be played with ' a man short Up to tiie day the game was played ! no one had seen the new pitcher, and j some contended that there would be no j new pitcher; that Kinsey had a mnn I on his team—a dark horse—who would i do the twirling. Ferncliffe folks, tak- ; ing their cue from the captain, made what bets they could get (at consider | able odds in their favor) that the Fern- I cliffes would win the game with a man short. When the teams walked out on the , diamond, true enough, there were but i eight men in the Ferncliffes. However, when the game was called a man emerged from the Ferncliffe quarters and advanced toward the diamond. : He went straight to the pitcher’s box and stood there with every spectator's ’ eye fixed upon him. He was of medium height and appeared to be well bullL though his loose uniform was not calculated to show the lines of his i figure. He did not look over eighteen years old, but that was about the average age of either team. Kinsey tossed him the ball, which seemed to go to him as if he held a magnet in his palm, and the game began. It does not come w ithin the scope of this story to a detailed account of the 'struggle-for the championship be- j tween the Hilton and Ferncliffe teams. It was closely contested from the start. At first the Ferncliffe's pitcher seemed to be very nervous and made some bad breaks. Kinsey was watching him closely and now and again spoke to him encouragingly. Reassured, he went on with ills work and before tiie third inning began to show himself a ' first class twirler. Indeed, before the ; game was finished it was evident that ! if the game was won at all it would | ! be won through the advantage he gave I bls team. In the eighth inning it was I a tie, and only by tho brilliant pitch- | ing In the ninth did the Ferncliffes i win the game. The teams bad left the grounds when Kyle stepped up to Kinsey and I said: “How about that bet between us? I suppose since you bad a full team it's off." “I’ve won that bet,” replied Kinsey, nud, thrusting his hand under his jack- ’ et. he brought out a bill and handed it to Kyle. “To lady’s hat and trimming,’’ read Kyle. “$lO. What does it mean?” “It means that I bought the stake! I for the pitcher, since I intended she i should have it if I must pay for it iny-' self. Since we won with a man short you may settle the bill.” “A man short!” “Yes; our pitcher is not a man, but a girl, a cousin of mine, a student in the State Normal school. She’s strong and athletic, and I’ve played ball with her often and while doing so saw in her the making of a good twirler. She’ll be at our house this evening and happy to receive callers in appropriate costume.” It is needless to say that the young' lady pitcher's reception in the evening was largely attended. She was very, modest and found it difficult to stand against the battery of eyes brought to boar on her. The story that the Fern- i cliffe pitcher was a girl had within the few hours since the finishing of the game spread so far that every one who had seen her in baseball costume wished to see her dressed as a woman. The consequence was that the house was too small to receive the crowd at one time, so they kept going as well as coining. The next day when the normal student returned to her home a crowd es-1 corted her to the station. She wore the hat that she had won by the bet Kinsey had made in her behalf, and many were the facetious remarks it excited. When the train pulled out a shout went up, which was acknowledged by a waving of the said hat. The Ferncliffes have a clubhouse, where their trophies are displayed, The hat won by the team from th« Hiltons hangs on the wall, and under it hangs the photograph of the girl who enabled them to win it. She is now a matron and has forgotten athj letics in a numerous progeny of chii--1 dron.
