Smith was the recipient of all sorts of pleasant jibes. Every friend or acquaintance ho met had something to say about the “world beater." The manager took everything in good part, but mentally acknowledged that I he had overplayed himself In making public the signing of Gordon Kelly. “I ought to have said nothing about it,” he thought. “Now he will Just have to make good or they’ll give me the laugh all over the country. But," he added, grimly,” that kid will make good, all right, all right.” CHAPTER X W HAT Gorden Kelly himself thought of the "funny” sto ries printed about him in the newspapers no one ever knew'. Bill Smith eyed his “w’orld beater” keenly when he reported in the clubhouse at i Ponce DeLeon Park early Monday morning. But Kelly was the same, quiet, good natured young man Smith had always found him to be. “He's a game dog. sure enough, ’ said the manager to himself, and sat isfied with tfcjs disposal of the case, he began putting on his uniform. It was the clay on w r hlch the play ers of the Atlanta club were to re port for spring practice, and it was a fine day overhead. There wan t,o be a month of hard grind for the i men In order that they might get Into J condition for the gruelling pennarn j race of the Southern League. Play ers of the rival Clubs in New Orleans, , Birmingham. Memphis. Chattanooga. Mobile. Nashville and Montgomery were supposed to report to their man. agers about the same time. In other parts of the South, in Athens, Oa.. in Augusta, in Hot Springs, Ark., in Marlin Springs*, Tex., in Tampa, Ela., and elsewhere the big league clubs c? the North, and the Red Sox cham pions of the world and of the Ameri can League; the New York Giants, champions of the National League, the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Tigers, the' Athletics, of Philadelphia, the Browns, of St. Louis, the Cleveland club, the Washington club, the Pitts burg Pirates, the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies, the Brooklyns and the Bos ton Braves were already training un der the watchful eyes of the J)lg league managers. In far off California the Chicago White Sox and in Bermuda the New York Americans* In charge of Frank Chance, had pitched their training camps. At about this time, too, many of the international League clubs Buffalo. Toronto, Providence. Mon treal, Baltimore, Newark, Jersey City ami Rochester were scheduled to open their training season below the Mason and Dixon line. Likewise the American Association clubs St. Paul. Minneapolis. Indianapolis. Kan sas City, Toledo, Columbus. Milwau kee and Louisville—were due in the South about tills time for their an nual visit. All these clubs leave the “Sunny Land” richer every year b\ about $200,000, of which the railroads and the hotels get the lion’s shale and the moving picture shows, tin- laundries and the cigar stands what is left. Players Arrive. Smith and Kell> wore hardl\ dressed in their uniforms before the players began to arrive and within half an hour there were fully n dozen of them on hand. There wer*. "Whitey” Alperman, the old National League player, now second-basemail of the Atlanta club, as good as ever fielded a grounder when it was hot or muffed a liner when it was bp- whiskered; Bailey, the heavy-hitting outfielder; McAllister, who wants to become an umpire; Long. Nixon. Smith, the new third-baseman; Musser and Brady, the clever pitch ers; Dohard and Kernan, Infielders, and Dunn, the catcher. There were shaking of hands and merry greetings. Gordon K< Uy met all the arrivals as fast as they came to the clubhouse. 'The homes of these players were scattered all over the country. The men had not seen each other since the last of September. Alperman was the first of the new arrivals to don his uniform* Hi* laced his shoes and then arose and stretch ed himself. “Gee. 1 wish the Southern Leagu« season was over." he said, with a ya wn. This remark caused a great laugh in the clubhouse. “Starting to ‘crab’ before you've touched a baseball, eh?” observed BUI Smith. “No," returned the second baseman. “I wanted to get It off my system, that's all. Come on. boys, let’s get a move on." and the players, laughing and shouting like schoolboys, ran on the field and began their season’s work wttk that time-honored exercise of tossl»“ ibe ball in pairs.

But don’t think he stupidly discontented —or ungrateful for all 1 have. I can not say all I mean! There is one thing in the w'orld—in ALL THE WORLD there Is one thing I want. For this I would give the world itself, .f It were mine—and all the money in the world. And all life w'ould be music, and color and passion then.
