BASEBALL'S GREATEST PLAY
Ac SAW 1T II ennas
BY Tip Wright.

It's hard for me to determine
which of two plays 1 have wit.
messed was the greatest-one 9
home-run smash by Roaring
Bill' Clarke, which won an extra
lining game for Toledo; the other
an act which would have made
good foot ball. in which little Mig
Clarke, the backstop, starred.
That hit of C1arke's was a lala
Bill. who always took the first
ball pitched, had become a mark
for American association pitchers
and SO times out of 100 they'd
sneak straight one over, to be-
gin with. He paid no attention
to this. On the day in question,
with two men out and run need
ed to win, he crossed out the
pitcher and leaned against fast
ball. which was last seen clearing
the left field fence.
But l guess Mig Clarke's great
play was THE great play. 1t. was
in the last game of the first
Cleveland-Chicago series in 1908.
Tho game had fairly glistened
with dazzling plays, but the real
scintillating gem was reserved
for the blowoff. 1t was a fitting
finale to great afternoon.
With the White Sox at bat in
the ninth, Geo. Davis singled, aft

reached third on John Anderson's

RACING REVIVED
With ORAL
BETTING.

EMERYVILLE, Cal. Nov. 20.-
The opening today of the first race
meeting in California since the
passage of the Walker-Otis anti
betting law by the last Legislature
aroused intense interest in sport
ing circles.
The success of the oral bet
ting, which is to take the place
of the wagering in the booths,
is a matter of much speculation.
The racing men believe it would
be conducted as successfully here
as in New York.
Boggs, carrying the Keene COZ
ors, was the probable favorite in
the opening handicap.

 For IS years it didn't bother me. did my work as usual. and I was healthy and slept at least eight hours every night. Two years ago I began 10 have headaches. which extended from the top of my forehead to my eyelids.
 ''I thought had rheumatism of the eyes, and when I couldn't stand the pain any longer I decided to come to the hospital"
 The physicians who are studying Anderson's unusual ailmeIt say that it Is not rheumatism. Their explanation is that the neglected irritation has caused the eyelids to grow fast to the eyeballs.
 The junction Is now so intimate that if an effort to cut the eyelids free were to be made, the surgical knife would at the same time pucture the cornea or delicate outer covering of the eye and cause hopeless blind. ness.
 De-pite this opinion of the doctcrI, Anderson still believes that rheHma- tism Is the cause of his trouble, and that he can be cured.
 If his contention is right, the case of Anderson presents a striking parallel to that of Wflkie Collins. the English novelist. Collins. afflicted with rheu- matism of the eyes, lay on his face shielding his eyes with his arm. and dictated one of his greatest novels, '~The Moonstone
 The disease left Collins after a pe- riod Of eight months, and for the re- mainder of his active career as . writer his eyeS were normal.

 In the meantime. the wind had shifted towards the north and the home of Mrs. M. B. O'Neal was threat. ened.

 SEAT IN J. s. SENATE
Wisconsin Rival of the Reform Senator Ambitious to Rep
 resent Badger State

MILWAUKEE. July Manifestations now seem to point 10 another political duel between Senator La Toilette and w. ID. Connor. commonly known as Silent William" Three years ago Connor beat La Toilette when as state chairman he picked up David. son for governor when La Toilette had pinned his faith to Lenroot, whom he has since helped into con gress. Now Conner is planning. it is said, to come out for the United States senatorial nomination.
 Senator La Toilette Is fully aware of what is going on in Wisconsin. He is satisfied that the fight made upon him in this state has far deeper sig. nificance and is only part of a nation al fight against him and the princi- ries which he says he represents. As soon as congress adjourns La Toilette will be back at Madison, and, barring some speeches at county fairs and a few Chautauqua lectures, he will re- main at home, where he will meet his friends from every part of the state as occasion demands.

TWO MEN HNJUR|D IN MINE ACCIDENT

GLOBE, July 16.-The breaking of the cable Of an ore car at the Su. perior and Boston mine resulted in four of the ners employed there getting injuries more or less severe. Dick Stevens had his ankle broken and was taken to the Old Dominion hospital where the bone was proper ly set. NJ NcGregor had rath- CT serious briuses about the body. but had no limbs broken. Two other min CTS working in the winze from wh'N the car was being hauled escaped with no hurts of a serious nature.
 The ore car was going toward the surface heavily loaded when the breaking of the cable let it descend again with all the force given by it's great weight. That the men work ing beneath it were not instantly killed seems a miracle. Although painfully hurt, both Stevens and McGregor place no blame on anyone, and had nothing but praise for the considera- ton and care given them by the off, c.als of the Superior and Boston mine.
