COAST PLAYERS COME HIGH

for Pacifie Coast Stars—War
Won't Interfere.
Phillip Ball, the former Federal
league magnate, who now is the owner
of the St. Louls Browns, is ready to
spend big money for new players. Ball
already has purchased two Pacific
Const league stars, Pitcher Speed Mar-
tin and Outflelder Kenneth Williams,
Robert Quinn, the business manager
and scout, has recelved authority from
Ball to buy up all the best players in
the minor leagues regardless of cost.
The Browns’ owner says that hé does
not believe the war will hurt base
ball, and that a winning ‘ American
league team In St. Louls will yield
Inrge profits. The success of the Care
dinals probably has Induced Ball to
loosen his purse strings.

patrons stood gazing at themselves

friends brought more friends.
Watrous, when he had discovered a
mountainous check tilting his plate,
cast a swift glance at the drawings on
the walls and a deep flush rushed over
his brow. He wanted to hide under
the minute serviette. He rammed the
check into his pocket and tried to look
unconcerned.
He went home that evening, and his
eyes proclaimed the fact that he was
off dreaming again. When he went to
the place where he was wont to fiddle
he grouped his friends about him and
told them a tale which dragged them
one and all over to the other restau
