Game by Stupidity.
By BILLY MURRAY.

The greatest play | ever saw--one
that never was made before ana |
hope never will be again-was pulled
off by Pill" Mccormack, when he
was playing for me at Providence.
You fellows probably remember
him as outfielder for the New York
Giants, and when he played semi-pro
ball around Chicago
You know that most of the famous
bone-head plays made are by smart
players acting under impulse that
they can't control, so don't think I'm
accusing Bill Of pulling solid ivory
stunt because he was In the habit Of
1t. He wasn't.
We were playing at Providence a
game that meant a lot to us, and we
were fighting for the pennant, and
had good chance to win. The game
was one of the hardest and best pitch
ed of the year, and the score was
tied when we came to the bat in the
ninth inning. | don't remember ex-

Peruna Critics Say
That There Was Nothing Wonderful In
the Recovery of Mrs.
Eberlein.
DIR. HARTMAN REPLIES.

OF course my narrative concerning
Mrs. Eberlein, of Pittsburg, who was
rescued from apparent death by
Peruna, has excited a good deal of dis
cussion and comment One critic has
offered the following solution. He
says that the reason Pe-ru-na cured
Mrs. Eberlein at such stage of the
disease, is explained as follows
She was probably very weak. She
became unable to expectorate. The
consequence was huge accumulations
of mucus and phlegm gathered in rhe
lungs. On account OF her weakness
she was unable to expel it. It was
slowly strangling her to death.
Pe-ru-na stimulated her, enabled
her to cough up and spit out the ac-
cumulated phlegm. This explains
why she was cured There was no
miracle about it, Nothing wonderful,
either.
To all of which I say, yes, of course.
That may be the explanation. And
yet it remains true that without the
Pe-ru-na she would have died It
remains true that I got there just in
time to have her life. The doctors
had given her up 20 die. She was
gasping for breath, unconscious, cold.
I'm short, dying However, it is eX-
planned, the Pe-ru-na saved her life.
OF course it did
l d. not believe in miracles myself.
I believe there is a natural eXplana-
ton for everything. Pe-ru-na helped
Mrs. Eberlein to expel from her lungs
the accumulated expectoration, and
thus saved her life. Good.
/ presume Mrs Eberlein is just as
thankful that she is alive with one
explanation as with another, and I am
just as Thankful, tLat ! was able &c
cure her, whatever the explanation
may be.
