Friends of MCConlogue and Evans,
who are putting on a spiritualist and
cabinet act at the New Phillips this
week, under the name of Fay. which
role is taken by Evans, We're surprised
Monday night by the way in which the
boys carried off their parts after only
a limited preparation. The cabinet
work went best and was put through
without a break and with a little more
preparation they will be able TO round
out their act until it will be very ac-
ceptable to patrons of the circuit over
which they are to be sent. Local
friends of the two young men secured
a great deal of amusement from their
appearance as public entertainers and
congratulated them upon the prospect
they have of making good. Brooks

The Queen BUNDLE bee.

The length of life of queen bum
blebee is probably little more than "
year at most. Here is one reason foi
this belief: She matches among the
late broods of summer and soon after
leaves the nest. leading vagabond
existence, night and day, among the
autumn flowers. The winter she passes
in an earth burrow dug by herself and
unaided esta blishes a colony in the
spring. These combined periods of fall
and spring require the daily use Of her
frau wings in the field at least four
months. Now, we know that the wings
Of the worker honeybee wear out in
less than half that time; also that the
old queens who take TO the field after
the nest breaks up in August fire.
quently have tattered wings and soon
disappear. Nature does not supply in
sects with new wing cells as it sup
plies birds with new wing feathers
So the loss of the power of flight at
this season of the year to the queen
bumblebee means the loss of life.

GREAT SKIN CURE sTIRs EUROPE
Medical Profe ssion Interested in Ex-

Remarkable Results.

Instant relief and permanent cures
have so invariably followed the use of
an American prescription for the cure
of skin diseases that European doc
tors, always Jealous TO lead in fields
of medical knowledge. are still direct
ing inquiries as TO the ingredients of
this external vegetable remedy.
The makers of the prescription, the
D. D. D. Company of Chicago, are re-
plying frankly to such European in
quiries that this Eczema remedy is
simply oil of wintergreen compounded
with other vegetable ingredients of
known healing power such as thymol
and glycerine.
Apparently no case Of no matter
how long standing, can stand against
this simple remedy. known as D. D. D.
Prescription. Here is a typical letter
from Mrs. Z. Payne Of East Pittsburg.
Pa: Il had a horrible breaking out on
my legs and feet, and tried nearly all
medicines and salves without result.
The first bottle of D. D. D. helped me
and l secured a complete cure. That
was two years ago and I have had no
trouble since.
We have investigated the merits OF
D. D. D. Prescription and believe it to
be the best and quickest cure for skin
diseases. At any rate, We positively
know that 1t takes away the itch just
as soon as you apply few drops OF
the soothing liquid. Call at any drug

MADE FIVE HOME RUNS
McGinty Returns to the Game at Age
 of 50 and Wins it.

A story from Plainfield, Pa, says:
 'Screech' McGinty, an old time Western League player, leaped into fame at Mt Horeb Saturday when he performed the sensational stunt of clouting out five home runs in a game against the Warrenville Stars. McGinty was the only player to cross the rubber in the game, and the Mt Horebs defeated their old rivals by the score of 5 to O.
 AS luck would have it, McGinty made his wallops when the bases were empty, It was the first time in fifteen years that McGinty had played a game. He was induced to get in action by Nick Rogers, mana ger of the Mt Horeb aggregation.
 Two hours before the game start ed Rogers received word that Abe Carter, his first baseman, was i'll and would be unable to play. Manager Rogers lost no time and hooked up his horse and rig and made quickly for McGinty's mushroom farm, three miles away.
 "McGinty, after much persuasion, consented to play, and returned to the Mt Horeb ball grounds, attired in an ancient uniform of the Toledo club, where he played almost score of years ago. McGinty covered right field and occupied third place in the batting order. McGinty, after ending his diamond career, invested in a tract of farm land on the Watching Mountain, four miles from here, where he raises mushrooms and squabs for the New York market. He is we'll to do and about fifty years old. McGinty batted left handed, and as result of his terrific smashes on Saturday two balls were lost in the game.

RULING OF UMPIRE FINAL

The protest filed by the Chicago club of the game of September at Exposition park, Pittsburg. has been disallowed. President Pulliam says: "The umpire in charge of the game, Mir O'Day, reports that in the last half of the 10th inning, with the bases filled and two out, Wilson hit safely to center field and that on the hit Clark scored the winning run; that after this run was scored the crowd ran on the field, and that he, the umpire, went to the Chicago bench, considering the game ended: that at the bench Evers of the Chi cago club told him that Gill. the run ner at first, failed to touch second base. This is a case simply of fact and judgment and the ruling of the umpire is final"

THE DIAMOND
LAST TALE OF
 WOE IS OVER
Independents Trim the Waterbury Team and Get a Raw
 Decision.

Waterbury concluded most dis astrous season by going down to de- feat before the Waterbury Independ- ents yesterday afternoon. While the score stands 2 to in favor of the winning team, the game was not concluded as the Independents refus- ed to play after two were out in the ninth inning, because of a very wrong decision by Umpire McPartlin, given againstthe Independents. There were three men on bases at the time, with two out, two strikes and three balls on the batter. Harry O'Hagan had been coaching Sillery, the Wa terbury pitcher, all through this in ming. He finally held whispered conversation with him and this was the result, Sillery stepped out of the box and made two turns of his arm and took step as if to pitch the ball, With the first motion of his arm, George Lachance, who was on third, started for home, knowing that a balk had been committed, while the batter went on to first and the other base runners also advanced Shincel received the ball from SilIery and touched Lachance and McPartlin de- clared him out. Then followed an argument and the Independents quit the field.
 This play has nothing in common with the play now under advisement by the national commission The rule is pretty plain on this point and here It is: Any motion in delivering follows. Any motion in delivering the ball to the bat by the pitcher, while not in the position defined by rule 30 is balk" Now let us see what rule 30 says: Rule 3O-Pre- liminary to pitching, the pitcher shall take his position, facing the batsman, with both feet squarely on the ground and in front of the pitch CTS plate, and in the act of delivering the ball, he must keep one foot in contact with the pitchers plate. He shall not raise either foot until in the act, of delivering the ball to the bat, nor make more than one step in such delivery"
 Sillery was out of his box, he made two swings as if to pitch and raised his foot as we'll. Lachance was per- fectly right in scoring. If Sillery was trying to stop Lachance from coming n home, he certainly would not have sent the ball home with one swing. It was as clearly balk as.was ever made on ball field and the pity of 1t is that the state leaguers took this way to get out of, bad hole with a team of amateurs. Eddie Carmody pitched great ball and held the leaguers down to three hits. The score: R.HE

Applications were received from nine cities, Hartford Waterbury, New Haven, New Britain, Middletown, Wallingford, Bridge port, South Norwalk and Stamford, At the meeting of the Connecticut State Bowling league in Hartford recently, it was found necessary to turn down several applications as 1t was not desired to have league of over six clubs!

A VAIL FROM HARTFORD

Such satisfaction as MT O'Neil of Springfield can extract from winning the baseball pennant in the Connec- ticut league through favor of the management is his. He has been re- pudiated as poor sportsman by his home city and will find few to con- graduate him even there. To the Hartford team of 1908 we extend our compliments. Next year, whether this city is in the Connecti- cut league or another, it is to be hoped that there will be less rowdy- ism and umpire batting at the games and with an able league management which was conspicuous this year by its absence, there is every reason to hope for clean and fast baseball without hair pulling. By the way, may the suggestion humbly be made to the local management that with the plethora of prosperity that has attended it some moderate provis- ion be made next year for less bodily discomforts than were suffered this year?-Hartford Courant.

The giant athlete hurled the iron ball 51 feet 2 inches, beating the former record held by himself 1 foot 9inch- es. As this was more of an exhibi- tion event than competition con- test the record may not be allowed.
