Former Giant Says Clever Center
Fielder, and Not Evers, Saw
MerkIe'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
er 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 fran
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 posi-
BILE by Hoffman, according to McCor-
mick, who never quite forgave Umpire
O'Day for his decision. Mccormick, a
former Bucknell college man. never
known as an umpire batter. contends
that O'Day never saw the play and
that he mad his back turned and was
on the way to the clubhouse when the
Cubs called his attention to the mis-.

Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the IN.
furious effects Of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.

inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained Of that weak

Some time ago was making an Of.

country and took dinner with one Of
the merchants of the place I noticed
q somewhat peculiar flavor of the cot.

replied that It was Postum. was SO
pleased with It that, after the meal was
over. I bought a package to carry
homo with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked 1t SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely. -
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest Of US.

FreakIsh Baseball Plays.

Speaking of freakish plays in base
ball, Jimmy Sheckard, left fielder for
the Cubs, pulled off a queer one last
week that will be told whenever the
fieet-footed outgardener's name is men,
toned. Chicago was playing Brooklyn.
The score stood IL to D in favor Of the
Chance crew, with Sheckard safely
perched on third. Chance smashed a
single to right field and Jimmy started
home. Just as he was about to cross
the plate. he stopped, dug his cleats
into the base line and beat 1t back to
third. The crowd yelled "bonehead"
and guyed shekard numerically. Then
Jimmy explained: III ] had crossed

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw.
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but ali
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and 1t came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment.
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuucura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She Is a fine

is we'll. We only used one cake Of Cuti-

Vermont Thrift,

Robert Lincoln O'Brien, editor of the
Boston Transcript, Is a great admirer
of the thrift of the Vermonters, but
thinks sometimes they carry 1t too
far.
O'Brien was up in Vermont last sum-
mer and went to dinner with friend
who had some political aspirations. AS
they came in the door he heard the
lady of the house say to the hired
girl: Il see Mr.. Jones has somebody
with him for dinner. Take these two
big potatoes down to the cellar and
bring I'D three small ones"

shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.

Many years ago, in consequence of
commercial panic, there was severe
run on a bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, IN
fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. BY his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in frying-pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant. why, they're quite hot!" said
the latter as he took them up. "of
course" was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold. We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we car"
Coming them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
&c abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.
