NATIONAL LEAGUE
RECORDS SMASHED
There Were More Shut
Games the Past Season
Than Ever Before.
TOTAL NUMBER WAS 1853.
LARGEST SCORE OF THE SEASON
WAS MADE BY PiTTSBURG
WHEN THEY DEFEATED NEW
YORK 20 TO 5.

All major league records for shut
outs were broken in the National
League this year, with a total of 1873
The innovation introduced by the old
league this year of reducing the sec
ond half of a double-header to seven
innings or less was responsible for
some of these record-breaking shut
outs, as sixteen of them were of seven
innings duration or less, and occurred
in the last third of the season, after
the curtailed double-headers began
Without that increment, however,
the number of shut-outs would have
been unusual in the National League,
for in the season of 1906 there were
only 104 of them. and in 1905 only 81,
Chicago won 81 out of A shut-out
games in which the club took part,
handing the Phillies the largest num-
ber-eight-while the Phillies only got
back at Chances men twice.
The Phillies won sixteen shut-out
games and lost seventeen.
There have been forty-twO games
with 10 scores, McGinnity having the
distinction of winning the longest of
1UeH WuGll DS btub CiiiNiiii'"A 80
twelve innings on May 10.
Two no-hit games were pitched this
yearly Pfeffer, of Boston, against
Cincinnati, on May /, and Maddox, OF
Pittsburg, against Brooklyn, on Sep
TENDER 20.
Corridor, Pittinger, Sparks and Nor
en-, of the Phillies, each pitched a one
hit game. There were only two other
one-hit games all season, one by
Fraser, of Chicago and the other by
Camnitz of Pittsburg.
The largest score of the season was
made by Pittsburg when they beat
New York 20 to on August %.
In the American League there were
fewer shut-outs this year than last, the
total being 1872. The Athletics won
twenty-six and lost twelve shut-out
games Plank pitched shutouts,
Waddell 6, Dygert 5, Bender 4,
Coombs, /, and Vickers l.
There were no no-hit games in the
American League. Of the seven one
hit games Dygert pitched one.
The largest number of hits made In
a game this season was the Boston
Americans twenty-five Off Ihielman

The First Liberty Bell.

From the Graham Cleaner.
The first battle OF the American revolu-
ton was fought on the banks of the Ala
nance in this county. May 16. III. The
British forces were led by Gov. Tryon
and Inc Americans, known as the Ala
nance Regulators. by Herman Husbands.
1t was not until 1879 that any steps we e
taken to mark the SPOT where the regu-
lators fell. This movement was set in
motion by a speech made by the Rev.
Daniel Albright Long, who was at that
time president OF Graham College. He
made a speech near the spot July t. 1879.
and called upon the citizens TO organize
and erect a monument. This was done
May -, 1850, when thousands were pres
ent.
As the regulators had no drum. they
used a large hand bell. both TO warn their
comrades OF the approach of the British
and to call their forces together,
as DR.. Long was the prime mover in
organizing the movement for the erection
of the monument and saw it carried to a
final contamination, the Liberty Bell was
presented to him. II was on exhibition
at Charlotte for some time this year. but
IL is in .Alamance county now, out at the
old homestead. Haw River Farm, owned
by Dr. ID. A Long, where he has, with
his family, been spending the summer
vacation.

Frailties of English Style.
n the Minneapolis Journal.

From the MlnDPapOlS JOuTldI.
English las she IS wrote" is again at
tracing attention and again the fralltes
of authors in this regard are being ex-
posed. Several Harvard and Yale pro-
fe ssors who have written books or
pamphlets are being made the victims OF
destructive criticism. but the critics, to
make them feel easier are going back
and showing that more distinguished au-
thors betrayed similar weaknesses in
handling the language. One commentator
has shown that in Wentworth" Scott
had somebody's mother dying in infancy.
OF course. it could not have been the
mother but then Scott didn't say clearly
which it was. Stevenson got off this one:
"An advantage over whom he speaks
with" Fielding Ihackeray. Lamb. Ar
mold, Lecky, Ruskin and Spencer some-
times forgot to put in their subject, but
hurried on to the predicate.
Some of these authors, 1t may be ex-
planned, were originally newspaper men,
and never got over bad habits But
Fielding Scott George Eliot, Macaulay,
Lecky and Spencer never were reporters.
Possibly the newspapers are not respon-
sible for all the bad English in the world.

ANCIENT FALSE TEETH.
Dentistry as Practiced by the
Greeks and Romans.

a the British Medical Journal

From the British Medical Journal
Cicero, in his treatise DE Natura Deo-
rum, ascribes the invention of tooth
drawing to Aesculapius, third of the
name. The first mention of dentistry is
found in Hippocrates, who in several parts
OF his writings has good deal to say
about toothache. Long before the dawn
OF Greek civilization. however, dentistry
seems to have reached high degree of
perfection. From the Phoencians the art
found its way to the Etruscans. At the
international congress held in Rome in
1900 Prof. Guerini exhibited several speci-
mems of dental art which proved that
something very much akin to bridge
work was practised in ancient Italy so
eff1ciently that il has lasted thirty centu-
ries. Artificial crowns have also been
found in Etruscan tombs. Artificial den
lures go back to a remote antiquity. DIR.

Dentistry shared in the decay of the arts
during the middle ages and we read that
when st. Louis died in 1910, although he
was only fifty-five. he had but one tooth
in the upper jaw. French surgeons nota-
bly, Ambrose Pare, took a leading part
in the revival of dentistry. Louis XIV's
