Fate Was Against Them.

Normal lost to Bucknell University
at Lewisburg on Saturday, in what is
said to have been one of the brettlest
games ever played on the University
grounds. With the score g to in
their favor at the beginning. of the
eighth inning Normal looked like
sure winners. Steventon was pitch
ing mastery ball and the men behind
him were supporting him in faultless
fashion. In the eighth Bucknell sue
ceeded in breaking the spell and
scored three runs. Normaps lead
was still a comfortable one, but their
hopes were dashed to pieces in the
ninth, Steventon, had apparently
weakened, and DIR. Aldinger thinking
that a change might be advisable,
sent Tommy Hayes into the box and
put Steventon on second. 1t proved
to be bad move. The first man
up drove fly to Sheep in right field,
which bounded out of his hand, and
the runner was safe on the initial sack,
the second batter was gwen four bad
ones and walked to first. Hayes hit
the next mau, and the bases were fill
ed with no body out. The suspense
at this juncture was awful, especially
to the local rooters. who accompanied
the team over A number of them
satisfied that the iig was up. left the
grounds and went TO the station.
Well, the next man up, hit hot one
to Steventon, he gathered 1t up nice
ly, but appeared to be at loss to
know where to throw the ball. He
finally threw it to first and retired the
runner but two runs scored on the
play. The winning run was scored
on an er,or and a clean hit. Thus
what looked like a sure victory was
turned into defeat. Final score 7 to 6.

most important and upsets all pre-

of New York. 1--WE find that nerves are
not a series Of cells in opposition,

the nerves must be regarded as tubes

repoSe the substance is fiuid-colloidal

trical impulse-the nerve substance
becomes a hydrogel, or gelatinous sub
stance wherein the impulse travels
freely.
"The discoverer seems TO declare
that the means whereby the brain or

nerve substance gela tinous, then flash
through il and cause the contraction of
the muscle. II is an attractive theory.
