Doc Got Bit

Hank Dewberrys old dog 'Tige" has
been whinin around for a wk or past
like as if he was suffering some pain
or other and Hank couldn't pear to find
out what allied him until Tiges cheek
begin to swell up & Hank looked into
his mouth and discovered a old tooth
which he calkilated was akin Tige, so
he put collar and rope on the dog and
TUX him down to the offs of Doc Liv-
ermore, our human speshialist & vet
ernary, and askd him if he would pull
Tiges tooth for him.
Doc said he would. so he got his for
ceps all reddy and Hank he helt Tige
down on the floor and set on him and
pried open his mouth and Doc he got
what he tf1ort was a good holt on the
tooth and braced hisself and begin to
pull and Tige begin to howl, but all to
once the forceps slipped often the tooth
and Doc went over backards stril1in his
head agin the stove almost hooking him
unconscious and raising bunch on the
back of his head biggern hens egg.
To make matters worse while Doc
was down on his back Tige jumped or
him and bit him on the calf of the leg
and then run outen the offs and home
hoylin at every jump. Doc charged
Hank so cts for his Professional SER
vices in pullin Tiges tooth, but Hank re-
fused to pay it on the grounds that Doc
diddent pull it tall. Doc says he
wouldn't of been bit by Tige for FIVE
do1ler bill being as now hes liable to
have hydrofoby or somcthink.

EDDYTORIUL ON MARCH

Well, March come into Bingville
last Monday like a lion instid of
like lamb all perdickshions to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
There was a good cal of specku-
fashion in our midst before the 1st
arrove as to whether it would come
in like lion or lamb. Last yr BY
consulting the back numbers of the
Bingville Boogle we find that
March come in like a lamb and
went out like a lion & when we a
nounced this a good mennv folks
thort that being as it done that last
VI, this yr it would reverse the per-
ceedings, but SIGH was not the case.
Old Dad Henderson perdickted
all of last wk that March would
come in like lamb Being as Dad
claims to be the most expert wetl1-
er profet in this naberhood a good
menny folks lissened to him and
made their plans according. On
tother hand Lem Wilkins who has
been competin with old Dad in the
wether profet bizness for the past
VI or two and has hit what he per-
dickted on two or three occashions,
said according to the way all signs
looked to him March was a going

a lamb.
Well, last Monday morning
dawnd brite & clear and mild &
barnrny with the sun a shinin lest
like a spring morning and our VIM
men folks most of EN- had their

a. m. Lem Wilkins went up &
down ST, proud as rooster &
CROWN to everybuddy he met as
folders, "Wot did I tell you about
March comm in like a lamb, hey
I calkilate after this when YOU
want to know how the wethers goin
to turn out you'll come to me instid
of asking old Dad Henderson "
AS for old Dad he set in Hen
Weathersbys store by the stove
lookin down his nose and ali he
would say was, "Jest you wait
the day haint over yit."
Well, long about 10 a. m the
wind begin to breeze up leet1e
mite and clouds come up outen the
northwest and covered up the sun
and within half a hour a turrible
blizzerd was ragin over Bingville

WELL, said the B. r., whats the

what might be called the hoarse boot
right away.

.'I'll tell you where he comes in,''
answered the B. r. Through the
following doors-viz.:
81 SAFER has scored more runs than
any other man in the National Lea
que.
"2 The records show he has also
driven in more than any other.
IS. He is tied with Carey for the
lead in stolen bases.
"a. He has hit for greater total
of bases than Ty Cobb, with ISL,
against 151.
IS. He has batted for more extra
bases than Sam Crawford, with
seventy one, against sixty.
"6. He leads his league in two-base
hits, in three-base hits, and is second
to Cravath in home runs.

New Britain herald., 1915-07-20

The Baseball Reporter dropped in
at Bills Place with the general idea
or putting away a couple of tall, dark
ones. His system had just absorbed
July double-header and he carried
a thirst which batted ..546. In ad-
dition to which, just at that moment,
he didn't mind talking baseball any
more than a soldier after completing
twenty-four hours in the first line
trenches minds re-entering the same
after a twenty minute rest
Fine Chance.
In addition to the two tall, dark
ones, the weary b. r. was highly de-
sirous of finding a place to rest and
mediate upon some light topic apart
from baseball and double-headers--
such as the European War or the
Decline of Civilization.
He had fine chance One and
ore-auartere minutes after he had ar
rived they had him in an argument
np to his neck. Few arguments of
any kind ever get much higher.
When they do, the argument ends
abruptly in the knowledge that the
best any bloke can ever get in CT ar
guments is a shade the worst Of it,
or possibly tie. fss
But the B. r. had to stick in the
debate or leave his thirst quencheI.
His feet were willing but his throat
was week.
Picking the n. L. King.
The debaters had agreed that Ty
Cobb was the best all around bali
player in the American League
which was wonder, even under
standing just how good Cobb Is.
But picking the star contender in
the National League had been another
matter Among those nominated
were Herzog, of the Reds; Cravath,
of the Phillies;-Jake Daubert of the
Dodgers; Doyle, Burns and Merkle,
of the Giants; Evers and Maranville,
of the Braves; Jack Miller of the
Cardinals; Hans Wagner, of the
Pirates, and some ten Or twelve others

Endorsement There is, for another
instance, Mr.. r. Merkle, of the Giants.
After a thorny start. which is now
ancient history, Merkle fought his
way back and did star work in 1911.
Wnen he was a big factor in Giant
success. After 1912 his play began
70 wane bit and by 1914 he was
tagged and labelled for the bench by
about $4,000 grandstand managers
VINO figured the Toledo boy all in.
After slipping in 1913 and slipping
further in 1914, few had any idea
that he had still another comeback
packed away in his willowy system.
But Merkle has courage as we'll as
brains and ability. He not only
pounded his way back in 1915, but
he has been one of the stars of the
campaign-one of the mast valuable
portions Of McGraw's struggling ma
chine. His batting eve has ranged
between .320 and $40 all year--hc
has been timely hitter-and his
sistent and brilliant. In place of being
his last and worst-1e15 so far has
been his greatest year.
