On the night of November 1 we boarded the train for San Francisco, and by the following morning we bad entered the monotonous sagebrush country, a dreary waste walled In by mountains without verdure. Instead of' telling you how we passed the time while crossing this arid region I am goinff to carry out a threat I made in a preceding chapter tell vou something about how John K. Tener, recently elected governor of Pennsylvania, happened to be a member of the Chicago team.

After I had sold Mike Kelley to Boston I was on the keen lookout for a pitcher to take his place, and finailv settled on big Mark Baldwin of Pittsburgh, one of the jolliest and most companionable fellows In the business and at times a wonderful twirler, but uneven and easily rattled.

"It's the easiest he declared. "To make that outcurve. I grasp the ball firmly with my two rirst lingers. 1 make the ball curve with my thumb, which I bring up against the ball -with a tight grip. Then 1 do a lot of stunts to fuddle the batter and when I get ready tolet her go I give a slight side motion of my hand, witn a decided snap to the wrist.

In that way you can get as much speed with a curve as with a straight bail. Don't you think so?" I didn't express an opinion. What I did do was to ask him plump out how he would like to go to Chicago and play with the league team. "First' rate," he said. "But Capt.

Anson don't know what a gooa pitcher he hasn't -got I always could beat Mark Baldwin, and 1 hear he is doing big stunts out in Chicago. Perhaps I 11 go out there some day and show the captain what I can do. Do you know him?" "Slightly," 1 admitted. Then 1 added: "I know Anson well enough to offer you a position on tne vnicago team. All Jou ve to do to Yes' rlght now" lookea me over a position on the Chicago team.

Al parently satisfied that 1 had the goods. said: "Well, make it yes." I wanted him to go right away with me that night, but he said he was a book keeper and couldn't leave his job without proper notice. We made the date for his appearance In Chicago, arranged about his salary and traveling expenses and then, as 1 was bidding him good evening, it occurred to me that it might be convenient to have his name. When he told me that he was John K. Tener I was so amused over the whole business that I turned the trick by letting him know that he had been negotiating with the captain and manager of the Chicago club.

At Suison, about 30 miles from San Francisco, we received a telegram from E. J. Baldwin, better known as "Lucky Baldwin," welcoming us to the city and inviting us to be his guests at the big hotel of which he was the proprietor. Such a sample of Pacific coast hospitality put all of us into first-class trim, and we made up our minds that we were going to have the time of our lives. Before we got to the Baldwin Hotel I was notified to get into a dress suit as soon as possible, and as soon as we were assigned to our rooms I proceeded to do as directed.

Getting Into a dress suit in those days was one of the most strenuous jobs I ever undertook, and I confess that I still find it a very trying business. With Mrs. Anson's help, however, I managed to accomplish it, and then we went out to a very dainty spread, which was followed 4.ii.. tx juuj liicairi )ai aim oiLn luai a little repast that "lingers in my memory still." We were booked to remain two weeks in San Francisco, and the moments fled only too swiftly. The day after our arrival, November 4, dawned bright and beautiful, but our festivities of the night before did not leavs us in the same condition.

When we assembled in the rotunda of the hotel to go out to the ball grounds our played-out appearance must have been discouraging to those who expected to see an exhibition of good ball that afternoon. about li.uw people Having oougnt aamis- tans greeted us an along our route to the grounds, and when W'e reached the en trance the jam was so thick that w-e could not git in until a platoon of police had cleared the way. The practice work on both sidef, prior to the opening of the game was better than I had any reason to hope for. but when 1t came to the game itself well. It is only stern necessity that makes me refer to it at all.

Kverything seemed to work against us, even our over-anxiety to put up a first-class game. Mark Baldwin pitched for us. and I never saw him do worse: he didn't seem to have any more control of the ball than If It had been a toy balloon. If Mark should see this it will be mighty easy for him to get back at me with the statement that the stonewall infield, of which I was a member, gave an exhibition of fielding that would have disgraced a team of schoolboys. The score of that discreditable game All-America 14 and Chicago 4 tells the story.

That the crowd was disanpointed was easv to see, but it didn't feel any worse about It than we did. Everybody was Eoodnatured over it. however, but It would have been a relief if somebody had started a row. Title of tomorrow's chapter: "I Dine With King Kalakaoa." fCopyrtght. 1911.

Chancellor Samuel Black McCormick, at the Charter Day banquet last evening in the University Club, made an eloquent appeal to the sons of Old Pitt to rally lo his aid as they did before. Inspired by the fait that on February 2S, 1m 12, one year from last night's dinner, the university will celebrate the anniversary a century and a quarter of existence, he was strong in his plea lor additional endowment. Nearly 200 alumni gathered around the. table. Dr.

McCormick had been confined to his bed during the day, but arose to address the alumni of the university. Kevelry and song, with the familiar airs and yells that ale known to every Pitt graduate, were given with the zest that all college men can appreciate. Several guests of honor were present. Among these was the Kev. JJr.

John A. Marquis of Cedar Kapids, Iowa, president of Coe College, of wnich Chancellor McCormick was president. The two oldest alumni present were the Kev. Dr. Joseph Horner of the class of '4, and the Kev.

The work of raising $1,300,000 during the coming year for endowment and new-buildings, which Chancellor McCormick stated last night were absolutely needed to keep up with the present progress of the university, will be prosecuted vigorously. At the conclusion of Dr.

strong appeal for united effort among the alumni, Toastmaster Scovel said: "Bovs nf Old Pitt, we must get together. We can do everything our chancellor desires if we work. We can do it, and 1 think I speak, the sentiment of the alumni when I say that Dr. Mccormick's hopes will be realized."

America's amnua lUmurt- im yiaeaa-J succeed in finding him either at nis nome or at his plaee of business. On the day of my departure for home I missed my train, and, having a few hours on my hands, I proceeded to kill time by strolling about the suburbs. Toward the end of the afternoon I ran across a game of ball played by amateur nines in a vacant patch somewhere on the outskirts of the city. I have always been greatly interested in amateur ball, and I joined the bunch that had collected to see the game. It didn't take me two minutes to become deeply interested in the young fellow who was twirling the ball.

First of ail, his unusual appearance arrested my attention. Tall and straight as un indian, with arms that seemed to be longer even than his very long legs, he poised himself on the balls of his feet, raised his right hand high in the air and then went through with a series of evolutions that made me think of a war dance. Finally, after a diz7iy whirl of the sphere grasped firmly with the two first fingers In the fashion afterward made famous by Amos ftusie. he let her go. and I realized right then and there that I.

for one, couldn't have batted him without a lot of practice. I don't mind teiiing you tht although I stood there and never look my eyes off the twirler until the tame was called. I didn't succeed in getting wise to his curve. When it was til over and the boys were putting on their coats I Dean Hornbostel Host To Educators of City Faculty and Students of Carnegie Technical School of Dssign Entertain Many. Henry Hornbostel, dean of the School of Applied Design, assisted by his wife and faculty members of the Carnegie Technical Schools, were hosts at a reception in the new Soldiers and Sailors' Memoriul Hail yesterday afternoon to the faculty members and their wives from Pittsburgh educational institutions and the students of the School of Design.

Faculty members of the Vniversity of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh College for Women. thH Technical Schools and other institutions were present. During the afternoon 500 persons were entertained. Mr. Hornbostel was busy during the afternoon showing his visitors the beauties of the Memorial Hall, of which he was designer.

Director Arthur A. of the Technical Schools and members of his faculty helped receive the visitors. A novel feature was the entertainment provided by Dean Hornbostel's students. They staged and performed a mim'c Punch and Judy show, in which many burlesques on the faculty members and affairs in the designing department were carried out to the amusement of the visitors.
