THAT MERKLE INCIDENT
How Giants Lost Pennant in
1908 Through Unusual Play.

How Giants Lost Pennant in
1908 Through Unusual Play.
Probably no play in the his
tory of the National League
ever caused quite so much COM
motion as the one at the Polo
Grounds in the game between
the Giants and the Chicago
Cubs on Sept. %, in 1908, when
Fred Merkle of the Giants fail
ed to touch second base. This
game, if it had been won by the
Giants, would have given them
the pennant, but on account of
Merkle's failure to touch the mid
die sack, and John Ever's keen
ness in noticing it, the game was
played over and was won by
Chicago.
With the score tied, l to /,
McCormick was on third base
for the Giants and Merkle was on
first, with two men out. Bird
well hit a clean single to centre,
driving Mccormick home, with
what should have been the win
ming run. Merkle, however did
not touch second base, but in the
excitement of the whirlwind fin
Iish, raced for the clubhouse.
Johnny Evers, playing second
base for the Cubs, yelled to Sla-
gle in centre field to throw the
ball to him and called upon I'm
pire Hank O'day for a decision.
O'Day gave the decision to Evers
and this was sustained by Presi-
dent Pulliam, who ordered the
game to be replayed.
One of the best fielding per
formances on record is that
made by Fred Clarke, playing
the outfeld for Pittsburg, wher
he made four assists from the
outield. 1t was Clarke's remark.

as putouts, 27. The Nationa
League holds the record TO
shutout games in a single sea
son, and in 1908, 1853 game
were shutouts. The base steal
ing record is held by Harr,
Stovey of the National League
In 1887 he stole 143 bases, AM
in 1888 he established the recorl
156 bases. Stovey is crediteI
with being the fastest man tina
ever played the game. Anothe
remarkable feat in the Nationa
League was made by Burchel
a player for the Philadelphi
Club who, in 1888, scored min
runs without making a hit.
Another remarkable perfor
nance was made by Beaumon
of Pittsburg in 1899, when h
got six hits and six runs OF
Platt of Philadelphia. In 1881
George Gore made a base stea.

cord in 1894, when he stole seve
bases against Washington.

An Easy WAY to Gain 10 to 30 Pounds
Of solid, Healthy Permanent Flesh.
Thin. nervous, undeveIoped men and
women everywhere are heard to say, I
cant understand why l do not get fat.
I eat plenty of good nOurishing food +"
The reason is just this: You cannot
get fat, no matter how much you eat;
unless your digestive organs assimi-
late the fat-makinE elements of your
food instead OF passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means Of gently
urging the assiInilative functions of
the stomach and iDtestines to absorb
the oils and fats and hand them over
10 the blood, where they may reach the
starved. shrunEen. rundown tissues
and build them up. The thin persons
body is like a dry spOnge-eager and
hungry Tor the fatty materials of
which it is being deprived by the fail
ure Of the alimentary canal 10 take
them from the food. A splendid way
Of working to overcome this sinful
waste Of flesh building elements and
10 stop the leakage of fats IS TO try
Sargoi. the famous flesh building agent
that has been so widely sold in
America in recent years. Take a little
Sargol tablet with every meal and see
if your cheeks don't quickly fiji out
and rolls Of firm, healthy flesh form
over your body. covering each bOny
angle and projecting point

NOTE Sargol Is recommended
only as flesh builder and while eX-
ceIIert results in cases Of nervous in

care should be taken about using il
unless a gain Of weight is desired.

Regardless of political views, voters
Of Rock Island county will be much
pleased to learn of the announcement
elsewhere in this edition of The Ar
gus of the candidacy of States Attor-
ney f. f. Thompson for denomination.
The remarkable record which this
brilliant and fearless young county
prosecutor has made entities him to
the place again and indications are
that he again will be honOred with this
important office. in which he has dis
played SO much efficiency and fair
ness.
The four years which Mr.. Thompson
has served Rock Island county have
shown that he is the right man in
the right place. Although young when
he was elected and moth understanding
that he has faced the most serious OBJ
staCles during his term, of any incum-
bent since the establishment of the
office, he has proven time and time
again his ability to cope with the
problems which seem peculiar TO this
county and since he has been tried in
the balance and found not wanting.
it is felt that it would be a serious mis-
take not to retain him in this position
which requires the highest integrity,
as well as a keen insight into the law
and human nature.
Mr. Thompson was born at Rood
house, Ill, Dec. rs, 1887. He grad
uated with honOrs from the Roodhouse
high school in 1907. He taught school
for three years and at the age of i
began the study of law, using his yaca-
lions and evenings for the work In
March, 1911. he was admitted to the
bar and located March l, 1911, at East
Moline. When "A years of age he was

was named secretary-treasurer of the

hard for the success of the county fair
