ing that eventful epoch.
Did you know that once only the in
terventiOn of one man prevented the
calling off of one worlds series and
tine stopping Of the third game Of that
series?
II was in 1908. Chicago had won
the National league pennant after a
desperate struggle, winning the play
off of the tie from New York in a
wonderful battle on the Polo grounds.
The feeling was tense. The Chicago
players We're beaten, mobbed. then
bombarded in their club house after
their victory.
They fled from New York Just as
they were rushing for their train, the
national commission telegraphed de-
Gliding upon Detroit. Pres. Murphy
was on the train. At Chicago the of
flee force was busy selling tickets and
all Chicago was demanding them.
During the rush for tickets Mayor
Fred Buses private secretary accom-
panied by Jimmy Markham, secretary
of the police, went to the Cub offices
to see about tickets for Mayor Busse.
Markham knew Murphy's secretary,
Thomas, and started to introduce the

opportunities for the invasion Of infec-
tious elements Of any kind that may
happen to be present in the neighbor-
hood. The wounds are seldom infected
at the moment they are made, infec-
tion readily occurs afterward, and is
often very serious if not fatal.
The explosive manifestations Of a
modern bullet at short range makes
sad havoc, particularly in wounds OF
the brain. Matignon described a Sc
ries of wounds of the head made in the
course of storming operations in which
the defenders were wounded as they
put their heads for a moment above
the upper edge Of the Notifications. AS
the storming party was only some SOC
feet away when the wounds were in
f1icted, the effect was almost incredi-
bly, severe.
Portions Of the Uranium were blown
away entirely and there was sometimes
an almost absolute emptying of the
skull cavity of its brain substance. The
brain itself actually seemed to blow up
by sort Of hydrodynamic action and
be scattered entirely outside the era
MUM. In these cases the wound OF
entrance was destructive and the dis
tance from which 1t is inflicted must
be very short. The storming Of re-
doubts and forts has taken on this
new danger as a consequence Of the
improvements in armament.-By ]. j
