GREAT PLAY BY COLLINS
His Feat of Throwing Out Three Men
on One Batted Ball Never
Duplicated.

Billy Purtell, Lee Tannehill, Harry
Steinfeidt, Jimmy Collins and several
other big league stars are high-class
third basemen, but ii is cinch that
not one of them ever accomplished
the feat chalked to the credit of one
JimnJ Collins. Collins performed the
wonderful feat of throwing out three
men at the plate on one batted ball,
| which is something never before
equaled in the annals of big league
baseball.
1t all happened in the year 1902 when
Collins was a member of the Boston
team. The scene of the feat was the
Boston American league park and
three Cleveland players were the vic
Tins. Bradley was on second and
Jack Mccarthy On first, when Goch.
nauer sent short single to left.
Collins got the ball and shot it tc,
Catcher Farrell yard ahead Of Brad
ley. Mccarthy was scooting toward
third at this juncture, and Farrell
threw back to Collins to get Jack The
toss was poor and Mccarthy tried to
score. Jimmy proved good retriev-
er. He chased the ball to left, recov
cred it, and spun it home in time to
get Mccarthy.
Gochnauer, who had been having a
nice time on second all this time, now
started for third, and again Farrells
throw was poor. The coacher at third
took a long chance and waved the
go home" signal to Goch. Johnny
kept on, if going at the speed he used
TO travel can be called keeping on"
Make it three" yelled the crowd,
and Jimmy did. He found the ball
somewhere out in left field, and by a
long and accurate throw to Farrell
retired the third and last Cleveland
runner.

Liquor Men to Reform Their Business

No liquor is to be sold to female
over the bars, nor in private upstairs
rooms or Railways; Objectionable char
acters or language around saloons will
be placed under the ban. Men known
to be habitual drinkers or those in
any way under the influence of liquor
will be refused.
Well, now, you know, all this might
have been written by the w. G. T. u,
and certainly it is vindication of the
hard work they have been doing for
the betterment of large cities.
To stop the rushing of the growl-
er" and the serving of liquor to wom-
en- will go long way toward that re-
form which all good, public-spirited
people have long desired.
There is to be an absolute closing
of all saloons from Saturday night
until opening time the next Monday
morning. Members of the association
will aid the authorities in running
down "speak-easies" and the bogus
clubs.
The members of the association
have held several conferences with
Maj Sylvester, superintendent of po-
lice, and for the first time in the his
tory of the capital the authorities and
liquor dealers are working hand in
hand to suppress the evil saloons. AS
a rule the capitals saloons are well
regulated, but in the lower class dis
tricts there have been complaints and
it is these that the association wishes
to wipe out. The association is
backed by ample funds to carry out
the reform at which it aims and Maj.

New Geyser in Yellowstone Park.

New Geyser in Yellowstone Park.
For few days past there have been
indications of an eruption of some
kind near the Fountain hotel in Vel
lowstone park, says dispatch from
Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo. Now a
new and magnificent geyser has bro
ken out in full force about 100 feet
north of the regular Fountain geyser
near Fountain hotel. This new geyser,
which does not appear to affect any of
the others in that vicinity, played to a
height of $50 to 200 feet, throwing off
immense quantities of hot water, mud
and steam. The new geyser does not
play regularly as does Old Faithful,
but at short intervals, the eruptions
occurring five or six hours apart, and
lasting about one hour.

uncovered he would claw his face till

but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading Of
