CHAPTER VII.
In no blaze of glory did Burning
Daylight descend upon San Francisco.
Not only had ha been forgotten, but
the Klondike along with him. The
world was Interested In other things,
and the Alaskan adventure, like the
Spanish War, was an old story. He set
tled down In 8t Francis Hotel, was
Interviewed by the cub-reporters on
the hotel-run, and received brief para
graphs of notice tor twenty-four
uuurs.
Several months passed In San Fran
Cisco, during which time he studied
the game and Us rules, and prepared
himself to take a hand.
Tiring of being merely an onlooker,
he ran up to Nevada, where the new
gold-mining boom was fairly started
"Just to try a flutter," as be phrased
It to himself. The flutter on the To
nopab Stock Excbange lasted Just ten
days, during which time his smash
ing, wild-bull game played ducks and
drakes with the more stereotyped
gamblers, and at tbe end or which
time, having gambled Florldel Into
his fist, he let go for a net profit of
half a million. Whereupon,, smacking
his lips, be departed for San Fran
cisco and the St. Francis Hotel. It
tasted good, and bis hunger for the
game became more acute.
And once more the papers sensa
tionalized blm. BURNING DATLIOHT
was a big-letter headline again. In
terviewers flocked about htm. . Old
files of magazines and newspapers
were searched through, and tbe ro
mantic and historic Elam Harnish.
Adventurer of tbe Frost, King of tbe
Klondike, and Fatber of the Sour
doughs, strode upon the breakfast te-
ble of a million homes along with tbe
toast and breakfast foods. Even be-
' fore his elected time, he was forcibly
launched Into the game. Financiers
; and promoters, and all the flotsam and
Jetsam . of the sea of speculation
urged upon the shores of his eleven
millions. In self-defence he was com
pelled to open offices. He dabbled in
little : things at flrst "stalling for
time," as he explained It to Holds
worthy, a friend he had made at the
Alta-Paclflo Club. Daylight himself
. was a member of the club, and Holds
worthy had proposed htm. And It was
well that Daylight played closely at
first, for he was astounded 'by tbe
multitudes of sharks "ground-sharks,'
he called them that flocked about
him. He saw through their schemes
readily enough, and even marveled
that such numbers of them could find
sufficient prey to keep' them going.
, Their rascality and general dubious
ness was so transparent that he could
not understand how any one could be
taken In by. them.
So It was that be resolved to leave
the little men, the Holdsworthys,
lone; and, while he met them In good
fellowship, he chummed with none,
and formed no deep friendships. He
did not dislike the little men, the men
of the Alta-Paclflo. for Instance. He
merely did not elect to choose them
- for partners In the big game In which
he intended to play. What this big
game was, even be did not know. He
was waiting to And it ; And In the
meantime he played small bands. Investing-
In several arid-lands reclama
tion projects ana seeping uis eyes
open for the big chance when It
should come along. '
And then he met John Dowsett the
great John Dowsett It was the first
big magnate Daylight had met face to
- face, and he was pleased and charmed.
There was such a kindly humanness
about the man, such a genial demo
eraticness, that Daylight found It bard
to realize that this was the John Dow
sett, president of a strfng of banks,
Insurance manipulator, reputed ally of
the lieutenants of Standard OH, and
known ally of the Ouggenhammers.
. Nor did his looks belle bis reputation
anteed all that Daylight1 knew of him.
' Despite his sixty years and snow
. white hair, his. hand-shake was firmly
hearty, and be showed no signs ot
decrepitude, walking with a quick,
nappy step, making all movements
definitely and decisively. .
It was not long afterward that Day
, light came on to New York. A letter
cause simple little typewritten let
ter of several lines. But Daylight
had thrillMl aa ha read ft- Tha bald
sentences seemed gorged with mys
tery. "Our Mr. Howlson will call up
on yon at your hotel. He Is to be
trusted. We must not be seen to
. gether. Ton will understand after we
have had our talk." Daylight conned
. the words over and over. That was it
Tbe big game had arrived, and It
looked as If be were being Invited to
- sit in and take a hand. Surely, for no
other reason would one man so peremp
torlly Invite another, man to make a
Journey across the continent . ;
They met thanks to "our" , Mr.
Eowlscn up the Hudson, la a mag
nificent country boms. Daylight' ac
cording to Instructions, arrived in a
private motor car which had been fur
nished blm. Dowsett was already
there, and another man whom Day
light recognized before the Introduc
tion was begun. It wss Nathaniel Let
ton, and none other. Daylight had seen
his face a score of times in tbe mag
azines and newspapers, and read about
bis stsndlng In the financial world,
and about his endowed University of
Daratona. He, likewise, struck Day
light aa a man of power, though be
was puzzled In that be could find no
likeness to Dowsett Except In tbe
matter of cleanness a cleanness that
seemed to go down to the deepest
fibers of blm Nathaniel Letton was
unlike the other in every particular.
Thin to emaciation, be seemed a cold
flame of a man. Not more .than fifty,
thatched with a sparse growth of Iron
gray hair, be looked several times the
age of Dowsett
Tbey drank that Is, Nathaniel
Letton took mineral water served,
by tbe smoothly operating ma
chine of a lackey who Inhabited tbe
place, while Dowsett took Scotch and
soda and Daylight a cocktail. Leon
Ouggenbammer arrived in the midst
of the drink, and ordered Scotch. Day
light studied him curiously. This was
one of tbe great Guggenhammer fam
ily; a younger one, but nevertbeless
one of tbe crowd with which he had
locked grapples In the North. .Nor
did Leon Ouggenbammer fall to men
tion cognizance of that old affair. He
complimented tayllgbt on his prow-

l Must Say, Mr. Harnish, That You
ess "Tbe echoes of Ophlr came down
to us, you know. And I must say, Mr.
Daylight er, Mr. Harnish. ' that you
whipped ua roundly In that affair."
Leon Guggenhammer waa young and
fat.. Not a day more than thirty, his
face, save for tbe adumbated puff
sacks under the eyes, was as smooth
and llneless as a boy's. The talk
soon centered down to business. Dow
sett broached the plan, aided by an
occasional remark from tbe other two,
while Daylight asked questions. What
ever the proposition was, be was go
lng lnto.lt with his eyes open. And
they filled hlB eyes with the practical
vision of what he had in mind. . ,
"They will never dream you are
with us," Guggenhammer interjected,
as tbe outlining of the matter drew to
a close, bis "handsome Jewish eyea
flashing i enthusiastically . "They'll
think you are raiding on your own In
proper buccaneer style."
. "Of course, you understand, Mr. Har
nish, the absolute need for keeping
our alliance in the dark," Nathaniel
Letton warned, gravely. ,
Daylight nodded his bead. '
"And you also understand," Letton
went on, "that the result can only
be productive of good. Tbe thing Is
legitimate and right and the only ones
who may be hurt are the stock gam
blers themselves. It Is not an attempt
to smash the market Aa you lee your

"Yes. that's the very thing," Dow
sett said. "The commercial need for

Not only will you bull Ward Valley,

And as Mr. Letton has pointed out
the thing Is legitimate and square.
On the eighteenth the directors meet,
and. Instead of the customary divi
dend, a double dividend will be de
clared." "There will be all sorts of rumors
on the street," Dowsett warned Day
light "but do not let tbem frighten

last stroke, when the directors declare
the double dividend. Ward Valley will
Jump so that it won't be feasible to

"And one other thing, Mr. HanJeh,"
Ouggenbammer said, "If you exceed
your available cash, or the amount you

"Yes, we are behind you," Dowsett
repeated.
Nathaniel Letton nodded bis head in

What had he come forT To trim the
New Yorkers as he had trimmed the
Tonopah crowd In Nevada?
They were prepared for him to play,
and, when heavy buying of Ward Val
leg began, it was quickly decided that
he was the operator. Financial gossip
buzzed and bummed. He waa after
tbe Guggenbammers once 'more. , Tbe
story of Ophir was told over again
and sensationalized until even Day

waa all grist to his mill. Tbe stock

Not only was be gambling as be bad
never gambled before, but be was
gambling at the biggest tsble In tbe
world for stakes so large that even
the case-hardened habitues of that ta
ble were compelled to sit up. In spite
of tbe unlimited selling, his persist
ent buying compelled Ward Valley
steadily to rise, and as Thursday ap
proacbed, the situation became acute
Something had to smash. How much
Ward Valley was this Klondike gam
bier going to buyT How much could
be buy? What was tbe Ward Valley
crowd doing all this time? Daylight
appreciated Interviews with them
that appeared Interviews delightfully
placid and non-committal. Leon Gug
genhammer even hazarded the opinion
that this Northland Croesus might pos
sibly be making a mistake But not
that they cared, John Dot-sett ex
plained. "It is purely gambling from
beginning to end," were Natnanlel Let
ton's words; "and we refuse to have
anything to do with It or to take no
tice of it In any way."
During this time Daylight had sev
eral secret meetings with bis partners
one with Leon Guggenhammer, one
with John Dowsett and two with Mr.
Howlson. Beyond congratulations, they
really amounted to nothing: for, as be
was Informed, everything was going
satisfactorily. But on Tuesday morn
ing a rumor that was disconcerting
came to Daylight's ears. It was also
published In the Wall Street Journal,
and It was to the effect on apparently
straight Inside Information, that on
Thursday, when the directors of Ward
Valley met Instead of the customary
dividend being declared, an assess
ment would be levied, It was tbe flrst
check Daylight had received. It came
to him with a shock that if the thing
were so be was a broken man. And
it also came to him that all tbls colos
sal operating of bis was being done
on his own money. Dowsett, Gug
genhammer and Letton were risking
nothing. It was a panic, shortlived, it
was true, but sharp enough while It
lasted to make blm remember Holds
worthy and the brick-yard, and to im
pel blm to cancel all buying orders
while be rushed to a telephone.
"Nothing In it only a rumor,"
came Leon Guggenbammer's throaty
voice in the receiver. "As you know,"
said Nathaniel Letton, "1 am one ot
the directors, and I should certainly
be aware of it were such action con
templated." And John Dowsett: "I
warned you again st Just such rumors.
There is not an lota of truth in it
certainly not I tell you on my bonoi
as a gentleman."
Heartily ashamed of himself for his
temporary loss of nerve. Daylight re
turned to bis task. Tbe cessation of
buying had turned the Stock Exchange
Into a bedlam, and down all the line
ot stocks tbe bears were smashing
Ward Valley, as the apex, received th
brunt of tbe shock, and was already
beginning to tumble. Daylight calm
ly doubled bis buying ordera
And all through Tuesday, Wed'
nesday and Thursday morning. h
went on buying, while Ward Valley
rose triumphantly higher. Still they
sold, and still he bought exceeding
his power to buy many times over,
when delivery was taken Into account
What of that? On this day the double
dividend would be declared, - he as
sured himself. The pinch of delivery
would be on the shorts. Tbey would be
making terms with him.
And then the thunderbolt struck
True to the rumor, Ward Valley levied
the assessment Daylight threw up
his arms. He verified the report and
quit Not alone Ward Valley, but all
securities were being hammered down
by the triumphant bears. As for Ward
Valley. Daylight did not even trouble
to learn if it had fetched bottom or
waa still tumbling. Not stunned, not
even bewildered, while Wall Street
went mad. Daylight withdrew from tbe
field to think, it. over. After a short

hour he roused himself to take the

You may think it odd, but tbe fact
Is that I won a ball game by what 1

It bad lost tbe game, except to fel

Lots of times I read bow someone
makes a bonebeaded play wben I know
it was a good play, and lots of times
I read about them making good plays
that are good plays only because they
get away with them. Any play Is a
good play as long as It Is a help to
ward winning a game, and any play
Is a rotten play if it loses a ball game.

We were playing the Chicago club
early in 1911, and fighting them off
their feet in the series. I think it
was tbe third game of the series. It
; was a fierce fight all tbe way, as every
' game of the series was, and tbe score
j was close when we came down to the
end. We were tied, and neither bad
. scored many runs, but late In tbe
' game Chicago got a runner to second
base with one out and we were bat
tling to keep them from scoring the
winning run. Hofman was at bat and
I was watching closely to see what
our pitcher was handing up to him,
and playing a little bit closer to the
bag than usual because of Hofman's
speed In coming down to flrst He
hit tbe ball a mile a minute, almost
over tbe corner of the base, and as I
saw It coming I knew it was up to me
to stop that ball or the game was
' gone. It didn't look as if anyone had
a chance to reach the ball, but I
jumped over and made a slap at It
with my mitt The ball jumped up
just In time to hit the edge of tbe
mitt bard, and I knew I bad blocked
Its force and that it was only a base
bit instead of the triple It would have
been bad it passed the mitt I really
didn't know where the ball was, but
saw it rolling slowly back of me into
right field.
i That far I had made a nice play
' and a lucky stop. I jumped after the
, ball, and In doing so I must have lost
- my head. I knew the runner was cer
tain to beat tbe ball to first He was
ahead of Bailee, who was coming over
j to cover first when I picked up the
ball, and there wasn't a chance to
catch him. My play, without doubt
'; was to get that ball back to the plate
to prevent the running from second
trying to score, and It I could hold
him at third, which ought to have
been easy, we still would have a
' chance to cut oft the runner at the
i plate or to try for a double play. 1
was so anxious and rattled that 1
leaped on the ball and cut loose at
full speed to flrst Bailee was cover
ing as fast as he could, but the way
I threw he couldn't have caught the
ball any more than he could catch a
cannon bait The ball went past him
like a flash, struck tbe dirt, bounded
straight Into tbe catcher's hands, and
the runner who was trying to score
from second was out by ten feet at
tbe plate. . '
It took ns a long time to win that
game. We tied in eleven innings that
day, tied when we tried to play It off,
and we ' finally won It late In Sep

HOW NED HANLON HELPED WIN DETROIT'S
ONLY WORLD'S PENNANT
HERE and there among the crowds that during the last Ave year have
been amazed and delighted by the performance of Tyrus Cobb could
be found many old time patrons of the game. These graybeards took
pleasure in comparing the southerner with one f his predecessors, a
fleet outfielder, who led a team of world's champions for Detroit wben
the present day "Peach" was a mere blossom. A man celebrated In hta youth
as a player, in later yeara as a manager, president and capitalist Ned Han
Ion, in 1887 captain and center fielder of the "Sluggera" of Detroit, the great
est band of fence breakers that ever drove a pitcher from the slab.
In Detroit It is not considered strange if, after the casual spectator has
exclaimed in astonishment at some spectacular play, one of the above men
tioned charter members of the Rooters' society seizes the opportunity to re
gale his neighbor with a Hanlon story; possibly the one told here; that saved
a game and helped to win the only world's championship pennant that baa
ever been flung to the breeze in tbe City of the Straits.
In 1887 Detroit won the National league flag and tlfe St Louis Browns,,
under the leadership of Comiskey, took the American association bunting for
the third time In succession. The Browns were the title holders, having won
the honors from Anson's Chicago team the year before.
Tbe first and second games of tbe Detroit-Browns series were played In
St Louis, each team winning one. Tbe third contest opened in Detroit on Oo
tober 12, with excitement among the fans running high. Carruthers and Bush
ong were in the points for the Browns, while Hanlon split his Pretzel bat
tery, Getzln and Ganzel, and sent Charlie Bennett behind the bat St Loula
scored a run in tbe second Inning, and so well did easy going, handsome Bob
Carruthers work that not until the e lghth round could Detroit with a team .
batting average of .347 for the National league season, tie it up.
Tbey went through the next three Innings neck and neck. ' In the
twelfth with any fair luck and without Ned Hanlon in opposition, the Browns
would have won. With one down, Carruthers hit far to right.but big Sam Thomp
son was planted in Just the right spot and hauled It in. Foutz then cam,
up and drove a liner high 6ver second, which waa meant for a home run.
The nervous and now silent crowd despairingly watched Hanlon In a mad
chase to overtake the flying missile. By a tremendous leap be succeeded,
and the roars of jubilation shook the stand. The game was saved. Detroit;
pushed over a run In the next inning and won. The following day the world's
championship was assured. .
Had any tan of that time suggested however mildly that any mere
fielder could in the future take the place then held by Captain Hanlon in the
affections of Detroit be would instantly have become an object of Interest to
the doctors.

USE EXPOSITION PARK AGAIN
Historical Baseball Grounds In Pitts
burg Being Occupied by New
United States League.
The United States organization Is
the fourth baseball league to use Ex
position park for its games in Pitts
burg. The first was the old Allegheny
club of the American Association. The
Alleghenys flrst played their games at
Union park, but In 1882, under the
management of A. G. Pratt, tbey shift,
ed to Exposition Held, and used those
grounds also during the season of
1883, but In 1884 they went back to
Union park and remained there until
tbey passed out of existence after the
season ot 1886. Pittsburg was admit
ted to the Natlonel league In 1887. but

fear that his throwing arm was "dead"

Injured arm by "Bonesetter" Reese,
and Manager Kelley plans to try out

Ping Bodle'a Loud Suit.
Ping Bodle. the Sox alugger, 1 at
tracting a lot of attention with a stop-
lifters were vmj a tvugiu ui ev w
hind the Athletics, with no thought of
yielding the prise. To maintain their
light advantage until tbey could
reach Detroit was the consuming de
sire of the Mackmen.
By the time tbe flrst inning waa
completed the Athletics realized that If
they were to win, every resource at
their command would be required. In
the sixth round tbe big twlrler Plank
disagreed so emphatically with the
umpire be was removed from the pic
ture, and Morgan took bis plaoe. The
shadowy southpaw of the Chicago
team was weaving his mystio curves
around and over the plate In such ef
fective fashion that four of his oppo
nents reached flrst base In nine In-,
nlngs, and third was a region entirely
unexplored. Morgan's task, therefore,
seemed heavy, but he proved to be
very effective. He escaped In tbe
tenth, when, through an error of Judg
ment on the part of th Chicago man
ager and the good right arm of Bris
coe Lord, the Sox failed to score the
winning run.
Thus they went Into tbe thirteenth
round with the score a tie, no runs on
either side. Here White finally weak
ened and gave the visitors an opening.!
Baker opened with a safe drive. Mur
phy sacrificed him to second, and
when Dougherty muffed Mclnnes'
drive he reached third. Then came
Barry. Having twice baffled tbe White
Sox during the afternoon be now gave
an exhibition of Inside baU aa It
hniiM be mared. With Baker on
the new club did not at flrst use Ex
position park, selecting Recreation
park Instead. Exposition field waa
not to be kept oft tbe map for long,
however, and it came back into promi
nence again In 1890, when tbe Broth
erhood or Players' league was formed.
The Pittsburg team of the new league
made Exposition park Its home field,
and thia appeared to - establish the
place, for when tbe Play era' league
passed out after one year's existence
the National league team was shifted
from Recreation to Exposition, and
continued to use the latter for nearly
