Philadelphia, pt It was a crushing blow to the St. Albans team when Laurie Glid- tlings, their crack second baseman, was suddenly called away from -college by the serious illness of his father. The very next afternoon ther were to meet tbe Hanovers. Each club had won twice in the series arranged by the Tri-State College League, Mid they were tied for the championship. The game upou the morrow was feverishly awaited, for it was to decide all. The absence of Laurie Gliddings would seriously cripple the St. Al- baus team, that was certain. He had covered second base magnificently, and the three-baggers rapped out by his stick had really been the means of putting his club where it was. Everybody in the college was disheartened by his departure. "I suppose it's aU up with St. Albans now," said Chase, tbe pitcher, at the gymnasium. --The loss of Gliddings will weaken us terribly." "It's too bad be should have to go away just now," said Stivers, the other end of the battery. '-What fellow can we get to play in his place?" That was a question just then puzzling every member of the team. Outside of the club, base-ball talent at St. Albans was at a premium. •-Well, fellows/- said Captain Dick Gaines, "I'll tell you what I've made up my mind to do. I'm going to ask Morrison to play with us to-morrow." "Morrison!" echoed several of the others in surprise. For Morrison did not bave many friends among the students. He was the son of a poor country clergyman, and received his tuition in exchange for the duties he performed as janitor. He had his rooms in the basement of the college, and he worked hard and studied late. With the president and all the profes- saw Morrison last Saturday," giggled little Sammy King. "Why, up shingling the roof of a house that they're building on the other side of tbe railroad," "I don't see what tbe fellow does with all the money be makes," said Stivers. "He must hoard it like a miser. He even went without an overcoat last winter." "Well, I can tell you," said Captain Diok. "He sends it home to hi- mother. His family is poor, so be helps them along all he can. It's just as Prex says, fellows. Morrison's the stuff that men are made of, arid it shouldn't surprise me at all if we were very proud some day of having been his schoolmates." Captain Dick spoke seriously, aud his words were not withont effect. Finally Chase asked. "Where will you put Morrison?" "Out in left field, if he'll play," was Captain Dick's response. "I don't know whether we can get him or not yet. Anyhow I'm going to try tonigbt." After supper, Captain Diok walked across the campus to the college building, in which Morrison had his headquarters, and explained to him the situation. "You see, it's just this way, Mor- son," he said, iu conclusion. "Gliddings has left St. Albans in a deuced bad fix, and maybe you oan help ns out. Will you put bn a uniform to-morrow?" "Of course, I want to see St. Ab sors, this plucky, ambitious boy, who was making his way unaided, was a great favorite. He did not enter into college athletics, for all bis time was given to study and work. When -there was a holiday, he found employment in the town, and earned a man's wages. He wore cheap, shabby olothes, and there were some students mean enough to laugh at his patches. "Ob, I say, Gaines," protested Stivers, "you dou't really intend getting that ohump of a Morrison? Why, he can't play ball even a little bit!" "That's all you know about it," said Captain Dick, quietly. "Morrison last summer was the star fielder of a club at bis home up in the State. Why, it even beat the Allertons, and they're semi-professionals." "Well, it's funny he hasn't done anything at college," said Stivers in a tone of contempt. "In the way of athletics, you mean," spoke up Captain Dick. "T-iat's because he hasn't the time. He's going iu for tbe Morse free scholarship, aud it's my opiu- isn he'll win tt, too." "Say, follows, guess wbere I bans win." said Morrison, witb a flush upon his face, "but I really don't know whether I can do auy good or not. You see, I'm all out of practice. It's been nearly a year since I played a game of ball." "Oh, psbawl" said Captain Dick "We're going to be at the grounds all morning, and you can soon get in form." And before he left he obtained Morrison's consent to play left field. Bright and early the uext morning, Captain Dick had his men out at the college base-ball grounds, practicing. He sent Morrison deep into left field, and began to knook high flies to him. After a few misses, Morrison gauged tbem unerringly, in several instances making hard runs, and accomplishing beautiful catches. "That will do," said Captain Diok, enthusiastically, after he had motioned for him to come in. "Now just stand at the home plate and see what you can do with Chase's curves." Morrison selected a bat, while Chase, confident iu his skill stood waiting in the pitcher's position, with a smile ou his face. Though his in aud out shoots were deceptive, it was lack of practice that caused Morrison to fan the air so often at first. * Finally he got his eye on the ball, aud rapped somany hard hits that the smile ou Chase's'faoe disappeared. -Good for you,' cried Captain Dick, watching the ball as it sailed over the centre fielder's head. That would have been a homer, Morrison. I tell you what, fellows, St. Albans' isu't beaten yet by any means.' Tbe afternoon train brought a Albans, victory seemed to perch already on tbeir banner, and their joy was shown in their oft-repeated college cry. At an early hour the grounds were crowded with adherents of the two colleges. Tbe presidents of both, and nearly all the professors were in attendance, each anxious to see his institution triumph. Pretty girls in abundance displayed their preferences in the ribbons they wore, and the college colors made the scene a pretty one. -Hanover — siss — boom — ah!' kept going up on all sides only to give place to 'St. Albans—'rah— 'rah—'rah!' Every good play shown in the preliminary practice of the two nines brought forth liberal applause, untill finaly, with the excitement of the spectators at fever- heat, it was time to begin the decisive game. St. Albans won the toss of the coin, and chose the field. When the men were in position, the umpire advanced to home-plate, and, taking a regulation League ball from its box, he threw it with a jerk to the pitoher. The white glistening ball was passed around the diamond a few times after which the umpire shouted -Play ball!' The very first Hanover batsman caught tbe ball that Chase sent over tbe plate squarly on the end of his bat, and knocked a fly into left field. It came straight to Morrison, and he did not have to move a foot to catch it. All that be had to do was to wait for the ball, and it was over- confidence, probably, that caused him to drop it. Before he could pick the ball up, the runner was safe on first base. The bad error was greeted by a storm of mingled jeers and cheers, and Morrison bit his lip with vexation. He was much relieved when he saw the runner thrown out iu attempting to steal seoond base. The first inning resulted in a blauk for both sides, and at the end of the fourth the score was 1 to 1. It was evident that both clubs were eveuly matched, and since tbey were on their mettle the Btmggle promised to be a most close and exciting one. In the fifth inning, Hanover led off with a base bit. The next batsman sacrificed and advanced the runner to second. Then Chase seemed to weaken a trifle, foi-'be gave the third striker bis base ou balls. The following man flew out to right, and the runners moved up to second and third. Tbeie were two out and two on bases. A buzz of excitement went up from tbe stands, for tbe next in tbe batting order of the Hanovers was Thompson, a player who. was known as a heavy batter. If he proved eqnal to the emergency aud made a base hit, the I Hanover men on second and third would score. Captaiu Dick seemed anxious i.s Thompson took his plaoe, and motioned his fielders to play deeper out. Chase clutched tbe ball tightly in both bands, keeping a sharp watch ou the runners to hold tbem large contingent of Hanover Col-1 closely to tbe bases. Suddenly, be lege men to witness tbe triumph of * pitched a swift iu-shoot, at which its favorite nine. When it became j Thompson struck with all his known that the formidable Glid-1 might. He hit the bail squarely, dings was uot to play with the St. ' and knocked a stinging litter into Morrison's territory. There was a wild cheer from Hanover's adherents, for the hit seemed to be a safe one. Morrison, wbo had obeyed Captain Dick's instruction to play well out, ran like a deer, but it did not seem possible tbat be would catch the ball. Every eye was upon him, as be finally made a desperate spring forward and apparently caugnt the ball several inohes from the ground. -Striker out!'shouted the umpire. And then throats grew hoarse from cheering, while hats aad handkerchiefs were waved in the air, so phenomenal the catch appeared to be. In the midst of all the excite* ment, aud wbile tbe enthusiastic spectators were shouting out ble name, Morrison oame running in from the field. --That man isn't out,' he said to the umpire. 'The truth is, I didn't catch tbe ball in tbe air. It was only a pick-up.' 'Well, did you ever see such a ninuy?"said Stivers, aside to Chase, 'if he'd only kept his mouth shut, no one would have been any tho i wiser.' When Morrison acknowledged the truth, a crowd of players gathered around the umpire and engaged . iu a rather heated argument. 'Of course, it was only a pickup,' said the umpire nervously, 'the striker is safe.' 'But you've already given your decision,' said Stivers, whose face showed bis annoyance. 'Yes, I know,' said the umpire; 'but it looked to me as if tbe ball was caught before it touched the ground.' 'Morrison himself says it waa only a pick-up,' added several of the Hanover players. Captain Dick looted terribly disappointed. 'Morrison's right in admitting it,' he said, 'St. Albans wants to win this game fairly, or not at all. Come on boys, and let's take the field again. No more kicking! Do you hear? Play ball!' The crowd, Which had been anxiously awaiting tbe results of tbe discussion, cheered heartily wheu St. Albans resumed its position in tbe field- The Hanover man on third had come home on. the hit, while his companion took his place ou third. The player who had bit to Morrison was at first, aud he stole second. Unfortunately for St. Albans, the next Hanover batsman made a clean single to right, and the two runners reaohed home plate. The following batsman was thrown out at first, so that the score stood 4 to 1 iu favor of Hanover. After that, both sides drew blanks, and, wheu the ninth inning came, the score was still unchanged. In the ninth Hanover went out in one-two-three order, but evidently its men did not oare, for tbey regarded the game as practically tbeirs. The St. Albans men came to the bat with a do-or-die expression* on their faces. They had a big leadj to overcome, and but one inuiiif which to do it. Captain Dick start with a base hit.
