paign were cake walk for Brooklyn.
In the postseason series, played in
Pittsburg, McGinnity won the first
game, with Rube Waddell opposed to
him, and also won the final game that
gave the champions the series. The
handsome silver cup won by Brooklyn
was turned over to McGinnity by his
fellow players In appreciation OF his
splendid work during the season.
McGinnity began his professional ca
reer in 1897 with the Springfield Qll(
club. In 1898 he helped Peoria win the
Western association championship, and
during that season pitched one of the
most remarkable games In the history
Of baseball and the most sensational
of his career. Peoria was playing St.
| Joseph, and at the end Of the twentieth
inning the score was to 4. The
| Saints went to pieces in the twenty
first inning, and Peoria Tailed four
runs. The Saints, in their inning, made
but one run.
McGinnity held his opponents down
| to eleven hits and IN neidlng mace
three put outs, ten assists and one err
ror. From the fourth inning to the
twentieth the Saints drew sixteen con
secutive blanks.
George Pinckney, the old Brooklyn
third baseman, recommended McGin
nifty very highly to President Ebbets OF
the Brooklyn club. When the Brook

PharaOh's Corn Fake.

Some time ago there was a wonderful
story in the European journals about
certain grains of ancient Egyptian corn
which had been planted IN Germany and
had duly come to life. The grains. they
said, had been found in an Egyptian
sarcophagus, and had been planted by
Dresden florist. Some days later the
corn appeared above ground. much to
the surprise of scientists, who did not
suppose that their was any life in grains
which were from four to FIVE thousand
years old.
The corn. however, was certainly
growing, and even the most incredulous
among them soon became convinced hat
grains have a lease Of life 20 which there
is practically no limit.
Alasi A boy. employed by the Dresden
florist, has now confessed that he plant
ed some ordinary grains in the same
place where his master had planted the
Egyptian ones, and only few hours
after the florist had completed his
work. This was sad news for the
scientists, and for the numerous jour
nails who had written enthusiastically
about the miraculous qualities of the
ancient grains The corn is still grow
ing in the garden OF the Dresden florist.
