"It's been a long wait, hasn't it, Alex." the old man said with biting contempt, "bat I'm afraid It will even be longer. Doctor Phelps haa been quite encouraging." Alex edged toward the desk in which the gun would be. He opened the drawer, felt the brittle coldness of steel. He swept about to Jason Stoneleigti. and the gun was In hl hand.

Something like that And then suggest we bad all afternoon and not to hurry. A lot of pitchers when they lose control or get in trouble seem to pitch faster and faster That's when you have to slow them down." "I'll never forget watching that Dickey stick bis big glove under his left arm and start for the box," Roger Bresoahan said one day. Bresnaban was John McGraw's pick for the all-ticatcher. "You could alm-s- t see the pitcher settling down. Be was another pitcher after Dickey got through. Usually a catcher gets a little peeved or sore at a pitcher who can't locate the plate. Not Dickey. This was his chanoe to use his soothing syrup." It must be admitted that Bill Dickey is a hard fellow to upset, mentally or physically. Bill's philosophy consists largely in accepting the breaks as they come. The good breaks never lift him too high nor the tough breaks let him down. "It doesn't pay to get excited." advises. "Why get worried?" Bill wouldn't know an alibi if he bumped into one. Dickey as always carried great admiration for Ted Williams' batting eye.
