Former Giant Says Clever Center
Fielder, and Not Evers, Saw
Merkle's Error First.

Harry Mccormick, the former New
York Giant who played a prominent
part In the now famous Merkle affair,
is out of baseball for good. He holds a
good position with one of the big west
ern railroads. 1t was Mccormick who
scored the run that would have eventu.
ally won the pennant for New York
had not the umpire called Merkle out
for his failure to touch second Nc
Cormick has some interesting views on
the much discussed play.
Baseball followers have always given
Johnny Evers credit for being the play
or who engineered the play that cost
the Giants the bunting and landed the
pennant for Chicago. According to
Mccormick, Holman, the Cubs center
fielder, was the man who did the brain
work and deserves all praise that has
been showered on Evers. That Merkle
did not touch second base Is admitted
by Mccormick, but he contends that
not member OF the Chicago infield
noted the fact. Holman, who fielded
the ball was the man who noticed
Merkles mistake, and after some iran
tic yelling finally got in touch With
Evers to whom he threw the ball,
Evers did the spectacular work with
Joe McGinnity and the fans and got
credit for a play that was made possi-
BILE by Holman, according TO McCor-
mick. who never quite forgave Umpire
O'Day for his decision. Mccormick, a
former Bueknell college man, never
known as an umpire batter, contends
that O'Day never saw the play and
that he nad his back turned and was
on the way to the clubhouse when the
Cubs called his attention to the mis-
take.

Would You Defy AeeY

Here are three excellent "Don'ts"
which help to preserve your youthful
ness.
Don't wash the face In hot water
before going out for a walk. 1t opens
the pores of the skin aud makes them
more sensitive to dust and dirt.
Don't use soap and water as soon as
you return. Rub good cold cream
into the face and wipe 1t of with a
soft handkerchief.
Don't wrinkle the forehead when
worried or draw the brows together
In q frown when bright light strikes
the eyes. Nothing ages woman so
quickly as deep ridges on the fore
head.

this time in view of the possibility of
the merging of the two cities, but the
supporters of the bond proposition
carried the day At the next meeting
of the town trustees, which will take
place Thursday evening, a resolution

bond election for February q.
The propositions which may be sub
mitted TO the voters are to incur a
bonded indebtedness of $4,000 for the
construction of concrete bridge or
viaduct; s17 500 for a fire engine and
equipment and house and lot for the
same; s70,500 to cover the cost of street
work, consisting of the opening, widen
ing, paving and improving of a large
number of streets.
