How a Baseball Player Re­covered litis Batting Eye

By ARTHUR CHAPMAN Copyright by F r a n k A. Munsey Co.

When a man has been chief blister and kingpin cleanup hitter of a big league for ten seasons he hates to ad­mit he's lost his batting eye. But that's what 1. Walloper Murphy, did one sunny July morning. I remem­ber the stage setting as well as if It had been in the fourth act of my favor­ite drummer.

It was in a white and gold bridal soot at the leading hotel in one or the big­gest cities on tlie circuit-for. as mon­arch of all the world's sluggers, didn't Walloper Murphy deserve the best there was ou the road, and didn't he always get it?

"Walloper Muirpby," 1 Hamletitfes to myself. 8it's come at last. The thing long dreaded has come to pass, as the novelists say. You're a cadaver—a can­didate for an oblong box in the bush league hearse. You have swatted nigh your last swat in the big leagues.

"It's been three months since you lifted'one of those home run things into that small but select crowd on the

"THB MOKE 1 SWUNG THE CLUB THE BET-TEB I LIKED IT."

roof of the apartment house overlook­ing the home grounds. Walloper Murphy, youi are an out and downer— a whispering reminiscence of a great epic.

"You have lost your batting eye, and that's all there are.to i t You'd better call a bellboy and make him a present of your medals and silver sets and yonr diamond horseshoe and your automobeel, because them trophies will only serve to remind you of glories that are past and gone."-

Just then, as I was thinking about a bellboy (It's wonderful how many things happen in real life just like they do on the stage, where everybody gets cues), there comes a reg'lar bellboy knock at the door.

When I opens it the hop is standing there with a long package and a letter. I seen the letter was from my old friend, Doc Bilstruther, and was post­marked Calcutta. India. Allaying the terrible itch in the hop's hand with a cool piece of silver, 1 dragged in the letter and the package and opened Doc's message first Here is what 1 read:

Dear Walloper—I am pained to observe by the home papers t h a t have been fol­lowing me around the world t h a t you show symptoms of having lost your bat­t ing eye. 1. don ' t know of any th ing in ma te r i a medica t h a t can remedy lost bat­t ing eyes, but I have been mak ing in­quiries amomg the dealers in the occult in this benighted land, and 1 believe 1 have found something tha t is going to fit your case. I have a s e rvan t whose name is Dinjir Meb. He can do all the faker s tun t s t h e r e a r e in the ca ta logue and then have enough left over for a Broadway show. He reaches so far behind the veil t h a t is d r a w n in front of us occidentals t h a t he gives me gooseflesh.

Now. my dear Walloper, I have told Dinjir Meb about your case. He la inter­ested, though he never heard of baseball until I enlightened him. I told him how you have been the s t a r hi t ter of t h e g a m e for y e a r s a n d how your ba t t i ng eye sud­denly seenns to have left you. He said nothing, but t he o ther day he b rough t me a baseball bat , which I a m sending and which should reach you wi th th is le t ter I had explained to him the general size a n d ' s h a p e of baseball bats , and from some myster ious source he h a s produced this one. Maybe he tu rned it out on a Mahat-m a tu rn ing la the, or m a y b e he jus t reach­ed out and plucked it out of the air. 1 th ink he could ,do either. Anyway Dinjir Meb says th i s bat has myster ious qual­ities t h a t will m a k e u p for any deficien­cies in your eyesight. . It will connect with any spltball . inshoot or fadeaway the greatest plltchers can fling you. All you have to doi is to wait for something over the p la te and s t r ike in its direction. Din­jir Meb s a y s you will be surprised a t the results . Swing hard and leave the rest

to Dinjir Meb's bat. Now. my dea r . Walloper, t h e r e is this

proviso: The bat is not a gift, but a loan When Dinjir Meb wan t s it r e tu rned he will send you word. If you a r e not will1

ing to give it up he will come for it. ,1 don' t th ink he h a s t h e pr ice of a Coney excursion ticket^ b u t such th ings don' t bother when you can project your a s t r a l body around the world In ten seconds.. 1

It was with feelings of trepidation^ as the novelists say. that I undone that lorfg bundle. When the- last wrapping was peeled off there was a life size bat. It was miade out. of seme heavy, dark colored wood.

i t -didn't swell in the middle jtfst to my liking; but it seemed to have a good balance for all of that. When I swung i t there came a tingling sensation that shot up my arms fend stirred the very loots of aiy hair, a# the novelists say. T never, felt .sttonger-inot .even*in the brave days when I was twenty-oneand Bmashihg! batting records every weesi

I awung from the shoulder andV chopped from. the. wrist and practiced all the other batting moves I sknpw to the taiminerrt danger of the gold plated chandeliers in that bridal aoot-aai the

more i' swtiifg 'tne* Qu^tEe^TreTeteir x liked it and the^stronger grew my sense of power. " \ .

It don't seem quite modest to set down all the batting feats I done in the game that day, but this Is a veracious record of unimpeachable fact, as 1 once heard a stump speaker say, and the details have got to go with the general outline of the plot Out of five times up I. hit for a single and a two bagger and_ lifted three home runs over the fence, the last one going through the window of a brewery two blocks from the grounds and nearly knocking- one of our stolid Dutch citizens into a beer vat he was grooming.

The sporting writers didn't whisper to each other and jot down hints about my being a has been without a come­back attachment. Instead, they just stood up and whooped with the rest of the wild, crazy crowd. 1 was car­ried off the grounds to the hotel auto by an admiring delegation of fans from our home city and even made a seven word speed from the steps of the bus —but throi th it all I clutched that magic oriental bat with a death grip.

The fear of losing that bat was strong upon me, as the novelists say. My batting average got better and bet­ter. Never had Walloper Murphy hit at such a terrific pace.

The care I lavished on Dinjir Meb's bat didn't escape the attention of the newspaper man in the press box. Noth­ing ever does. They wrote all kinds of fancy stories about that bat—every kind but the right llind. I hired a plain boy at a fancy salary to do noth­ing but grab that bat, after 1 had thrown it down, and guard it till I had come back from the base lines.

He had strict orders not to let it go out of his hands when 1 was playing in the held. I was peevish about let­ting the other players so much as heft the bat, and come jnear losing some friendships of long standing on that account.

It was getting well toward the close of the race, witn our team holding the lead ny an eyelash. There were only three'Shore games to play, and the club management was looking to me to pull them out of the fire, for our pitchers wasn't.going any too well, and It was only by free hitting that we could hope to win. Then came the demand 1 had been dreading. It was just a note, in a strange scrawl, handed in by a bell­boy. It said:

Please give bearer Dinjir Meb's bat. "The note was give to me by a dark-

skinned man with blue goggles, and he said he'd wait in the reception parlor," said the boy in answer to my. demand.

I rushed down to the parlor, but there was nobody there".

But along abou* 1 o'clock, just be­fore I was starting for the baseball grounds to-begin the final and deciding series of three games with our nearest contenders, along comes another note, handed in by another bellboy. j[t read:,

Dinjir Meb will t a k e h i s b a t t h i s af ter­noon, since Sahib Murphy will not sur­render it willingly.

I clung to that bat with a feverish grip all the way to the park.

I gave my private bat guardian spe­cial instructions about grabbing the stick as soon as I had thrown it down after making a hit Then 1 bribed a special policeman to 'keep an eye on the boy. Even then I didn't feel safe.

Dinjir Meb's hat never did any great­er execution than on that day. It had the long distance hits caroming off the outfield fences, and up to the ninth in­ning I had driven in seven runs and had the game practically cinched. In the ninth I sent one to the flagpole In center. I knew I could just stretch it into four bases by hard running.

It was all a matter of machine-like calculation with me. I counted every step and knew I must be two seconds ahead of the ball when I jumped into the ten foot slide at the finish. As 1 slid and heard the umpire call "Safe!" I glanced toward the players' bench to see what had become of Dinjir Meb's bat.

My bat boy had carried it almost to the players' bench. The policeman was standing at his side, and both had succumbed to the excitement of the game and were watching me slide. I saw a dark skinned, blue goggled man

1 reach 'a long arm over the little gate by the players' bench and pluck the hat from the hand of the boy.

I yelled even before my slide was finished: but. of course, my voice was lost in the roar that billowed down from the stands and bleachers.. J»

.lumpkig to m.y feet. 1 dashed toward the players' bench just as the police man and the bat boy woke out of their trance The three of us dashejl through the gate, but there was no Dinjir Meb in sight.

I'd like to driuv a veil over the events •>f the nt'Xt two days, as the novelists 4ay.

We lost the two.games and the peu-lant. and the only hisses that crowd oestowed oa anybody were directed at the troublecflkead of Wallcper Murphy.

Two days later I got a call from my special policeman, who was more of a tsleuth than I gave him credit for being. He had followed a clew that led him to one of the biggest hotels in the city. My goggle eyed man had been seen go­ing in there, carrying a bat that an­swered the description of the war club of Dinjir Meb.

I was at the hotel as quick as gaso­line and a daredevil chauffeur could take me. I hadn't any more than stepped into the lobby than I saw Doc Bilstruther sitting" comfortably in an armchair and reading a pink sporting Bectlon. I grabbed him by the shoulder and fairly yelled:

"You're mixed up in a l l th i s business. NoV you-tell me where Dinjir Meb has taken iny bat!"

• "I see it's all up, Walloper," says Doc,, gentle as a lamb. "Come up to my room and I'll tell you the hull thing.''

I dismissed the special with,flay bless­ing and his wage, and no sooner had 1 entered Doe's room than I saw Dinjir Meb's bat leaning In- the corner. *I pounced upon it, e^tger-like, and a s - 1 stood there in the middle of the room, crooning over that st ick and swinging lt,'JPW.Jit'8Tdg0'BJllt'ISl|^|^'

mmen to una out noW-mucii oi-xi'was real and how much of i t 'was due to your own realization that you were ap-, proaching the age when, according to all physical laws, your eyes must begin to fail a little. I happened to be in Calcutta, and It occurred to me that a little toueh of "oriental mysticism would help along the case. I got this cheap bat of an American business man—a baseball fan in exile. It probably didn't cost over four bits at the most and is a bat that you wouldn't look at any more than Kubelik would piek out a mail order fiddle instead of a Strad.

"But the charm of the bat was in the story that accompanied i t You thought the bat had magic qualities, and that thought gave you back all the self con­fidence you had los t You hit straight and true and picked out the good ones, and that was why you sent so many balls over the fence.

You lost your self confidence once more and were back where you stood before the bat reached me. That was why you were struck out seven times and lost the pennant for your -team. It's been a mighty interesting case for me, and I'm going to write it up for my medical journal, leaving out names, of course. You don't object, do you ?"

I just stood swinging the bat without answering. All the tingle had gone out of my arms. The bat, aj» I looked at it, assumed its true proportions as an ill

I flung it into the corner, but Doc rose and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Now don't go up in the air like that Walloper," he said. "My experiment isn't finished. You put yourself under my care. I'm going to give you a course in mental gymnastics from now on and will guarantee to restore your confidence in yourself without any aid from Dinjir Meb or any other dealer in the occult. I'll have you hitting as well as ever next season, and you'll be Walloper Murphy for five seasons to come instead of being embalmed in the sporting annuals as an 'ex.' "

And after events proved that Do<-was right as the novelists say.

How Stilton Chee«o U Mad*. Stilton cheeses differ from ordinary

cheeses in the method of manufacture. Each Stilton is made in a circular mold, or vat. two feet deep and about nine inches in diameter, perforated at the sides "and bottom. When the milk b a r been turned into curd by. means of rennet it is transferred into the vat, which Is lined with a coarse woven cloth, with a ladle? When a thin layer of curd covers the bottom of the mold a little dry salt is sprinkled over i t This is supposed to create the blue mold often found in Stiltons.' Then more curd is added in layers until the vat is full. The> whey gradually drains through the cloth and out of the holes into the pan-in which the vat stands. After the curd has stood for twenty-four hours a tin disk is laid on the top and a weight applied to hasten the expulsion of the whey. When quite firm the cheese is removed from the vat and placed on a shelf to dry. After some days the cloth is taken off and the cheese is left to ripen In a special room, the temperature of which never varies.—London Answers.

Rise of the Plebeians. Plebeians 'were the commons of

iome, who were originally forbidden ill political rights. They were for the most part poor and were not a'llowed to Intermarry with the patricians They served in the army stehout-pay and were sold into slavery for debt and could even be cut into pieces for distribution among their creditors. Finding their condition intolerable, the plebeians in 497 B. C. seceded to Mons Sacer, near Rome, where they resolved to ouild a new city. , But this s'tep so alarmed the privileged classes that they granted to the commons the right of annually choosing from their own numbers two magistrates, called tribunes, with power to protect tbem against the aggressions of the patri­cians. After the lapse of about 200 years the disabilities of the plebeians were almost entirely removed, and be­tween the years 356-300 B / C . they se­cured the dictatorship^ the censorship jmd the praetorship as well as the' right to be pontiff and augur. Thus the Roman republic, after two cen­turies of existence.-, finally secured a democratic form of government

Baiting the Bull. In- the interior of Venezuela' and

Colombia toro coleado is a feature of fiesta days. A principal street of the town la roped off and a wild bull is liberated. From eight to ten mounted horsemen enter the Improvised arena, their only defense against attacks of the bull being their superb horseman­ship and a knowledge of how to twist the bull's tail in such a manner as to cause him to tumble over. While the attention of the bull is attracted by some of the party a horseman dashes from the rear at" full speed, gives s dextrous twis t and over trolls the bull. This sport is .not without} its danger, and almost every coleado festival adds to the hospital lisit The honor of be­ing champion bull tail twister develops keen competition, for the winuer is crowned with flowers by the prettiest girl in the village. Some performers become so expert as to be sure of their twist at a specified point- the great achievement being to bring the animal to the dust just In front of the balcony of one's ladylove.—Argonaut

Reforming the Boarders. The boarding house had changed

The sword had fallen rather promiscuous­ly during this pruning of bad habits, but they were all amused when it struck the haughty young professor. Sitting with bis head bowed gracefully on his shapely hand, it was his cus-. torn to pay no attention to the things that were passed around the breakfast table.

^ The landlady brought In a plate of hot biscuits and hetd them in front of him. He did not look up. She jogged his elbow, and. looking up. he said loftily. "1 do not care to be disturbed when meditating "

The regular boarders stopped eating, awaiting her reply. She stared at him for a second, then said decidedly: "Hereafter yon do your meditatin' some'ei's else. I want these biscuits et"—Indianapolis News.

E a r l y E a r r i n g s . The earring Is not a" modem i n v e n ­

tion, far more than twenty centuries ago the daukhtei5 or Aristotle wore golden feoops. The philosopher's daugh­ter's earrings were found iu her tomb near Chamois, in Euhoea. by exploring archaeologists, and certainly modern workmanship •• cannot produce their equal. In eneh golden hoop swung a tiny dove, with precious stones for eyes and bands of ininute gems" to give the color of the Iridescerit breast and wings, iThe feathers were of gran-ulated gold, and the tail feathers were wrmarvelousiy wrouglit and adjusted that they acted like a balance, a s in a living bird, so that the exquisite minia­ture creatures whenever the wearer moved or laughed or b a s e d her head would move and balance themsetyes upon their pendent perches.
