Ipchester, Aug. s.-Joe McGinnity,
Chi Stoned the iron man" in the old
days Of the major leagues, is winning
double headers now in the Information
al league. He took two the same day
last week from Rochester and then
was about to do the same thing 10
Toronto, but lost out in the ninth in
ming of the second game
He made the most remarkable rec
ord in 1903. when he pitched both
games Of three double-headers for the
Giants. and won all six games. Aug.
that year he beat Boston by 4 TO l
and ; TO 2 Aug he beat Brooklyn
by 6 to ! and TO g. Aug 81 he beat
Philadelphia TO l and 3 TO 2. All Of
these games went the full nine innings.
In 1904 McGinnity pitched u straight
victories for the Giants He was not
beaten until June II.
Following the Iron Mans formula
for successful pitcher. "A fellow
can't pitch unless he is worked regular
ly,' says Joe "A man must be on the
rubber often 10 retain his effective
ness. No pitcher can keep in condi-
ton unless he works in games. He
might practice till the cows come
home, but there is a vast difference
between working on the side lines and
working when some one is trying to
knock the cover of the ball"

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Common Abuse of thu Verbs to Get, 4
Lay and to Lie.

Common Abuse of thu Verbs to Get, to
Lay and to Lie.
The verb to get is one of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire,
win, OBTAIN, and primarily it signifies
the putting forth of effort to attain
something. Consequently 1t is not only
superhuous, but incorrect, to speak of
a man as getting drowned" or get
ting sick" and you may unfortunately
have a cold" but it is impossible that
you have got cold"
At this moment no exceptions occur
to the writer to the rule that got should
never be used in connection with have,
which alone sufficiently expresses pos
session Say Il have the picture" not
81 have got the picture" The dog
has a broken leg" not THE dog has
got broken leg"
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay is an ac-
tive or transitive verb, and lie is pas
sive or intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but We
and things lie at rest You lie down,
have lain down, will lie down or are
lying down She lay down yesterday
and is going to lie down this afternoon
frequent error is to confound the
past tensss Of these verbs. One should
say. Mary laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book
lie: Oh the table.-Exchange.

acid-test this same siren city applies
TO the individual worth of each victim
as soon as he or she arrives within
the municipal limits. Mr.. Fitch's con-
clusion, expressed in the final act. is
that the city either makes or breaks,

the strong or weak side of the charac-

author so concludes, wins much great

would in a minor community, willis

seems to prove that there is a great

and the ankle was fractured. The in
1ured player was unable 70 walk and
was carried of the field. In the pre-
ceding round. Kelly was spiked on the
instep and II is TO this mishap that
he attributes the accident, as he be
lieves the nerves in his foot were
temporarily paralyzed

There was a thick layer Of dust on
the diamond, and underneath it was a
layer OF hard clay When Kelly's
bplheh hlTuCk lht cray tAeE STUCK and
because Of his terrific speed the bone
snapped. The management Of the club
refused TO allow the injured player 70
leave, but kept him there under med.

jury would not prove as serious as
first predicted. but after a cousulta.
ton Of physicians yesterday Kelly
was told that he would be unable to
play for the remainder of the season
without seriously Gripping himself
perhaps for life.

among the leaders Of the league in

care. however. II is believed that he
