He asked for a clavicle ball. which he
missed by n right smart The pitcher
prescribed another capsule for him,
which he struck at just a few moments
before 1t got to him. and with such
force rs to whirl him around on the
home plate with great violence. As
soon as he had recovered from his
giddiness and vertigo l called time
again, and this time lie swatted the
ball so high that it was glorious
chance for the centre-tielder TO get un-
der it. as it was a long time in the air
and came down rs straight as shot
but the center-felder was just fitting a
new stopper to his stethoscope. which
he had lost out on his way to the
grounds, and so muff1d il, rs we would
say.
The general error made by physi-
clans in playing this game | find. in
both schools. is not so much lack of
proper knowledge of its histology.
phy siology. MICROSCOPY. chemistry.
pathology, physiological medicine,
pharmacy or therapeutics. for all
schools seem to treat a hot ball in
about the same manner. favoring i'll
most cases conservative course I'M
til the temperature of the ball IS re-
duced, but she common error seems to
be the same as that made in the Gar
field case. viz. an incorrect diagnosis
as to tho course and location of the
ball.
Space at this time will not permit
an extended description of the game
as played but hasty recaptulation
shows that the Allopaths are more in
favor of outward application and that
they are further advanced, perhaps,
in the various methods of probing for
the ball, while the HomGopaths are
less liable to everyday themselves.
enjoyed the game very much in
deed. and can truly say that only once
did l delay the playing at all. and
that was when l was forced to go down
to a bookstore on Nicollet avenue to
get an authority on the question us 10
whether n player has the right to pull
up the base and carry it halfway to
the next before throwing it back TO its
place. Several new questions arose,
which were disposed of at the time.

The medical fraternity OF Mime.
apolis is a credit to the handsome and
thriving city. and always treats It's
umpire in a courteous manner. 1t is
thorough in its knowledge and careful!
in its practice of medicine. 1t also
excels in the field. and the flour batter
of the Flour City has few superors.
Had not a heavy rain suddenly put
stop to the game. fully believe that l
would have been compelled to get
another single for keeping the score.
Some of the spectators feared that
the umpire would be hurt by the swift
aad venomous balls thrown and
knocked about the ground with such
terrible force. but the ball used was
one that has been in use in our family
for several generations. and IS perfect

rubber ball-say one and half inches
in d ameter-wound with gray yarn to
about four inches in diameter and then
covered with red morocco.
Physicians and surgeons are general
~ regarded as very much hardened
and oblivious to pain. but in playing
ball they are thoughtful and prefer
not to give needless pain.
Minneapolis is thriving city. ex-
trcmely healthful and prosperous. and
while there l bought some town lots,
only few hours out from the city
limits and at a price which almost
made me ashamed to take them from
the supplemented real estate agent
who seemed TO have no true concep-
ton of their enormous value.
