 It is a story which reveals many in

 'The opportunity to manage a big league ball club came to me during mid season of 1S94-and, at first, I turned it down. said Connie Mack, in detailing his big league career. Two reasons in- fluenced my rejection. One was because of my feeling of loyalty and friend ship for the man l was to depose: the ether because l wasn't sure that I would make good in the job.
 Al c. Buckenberger was leader of the Priates He had succeeded Tommy Burns in mid-season of 1892. In 1893 the Pirates made a splendid showing; finishing sec- ond to Boston The great work of the club in 1893 reavsakened the interest O. fandom and the crowds started to come back. Everything seemed to point to a banner year in 1894, all of which in- fluenced William E. Kerr to buy the team with the hope of at least fair profit But he was doomed to bitter disappointment.
 '"rhe club, under the management Of Buckenberger, got awhy poorly in lSS4, and the farther we went, the farther we dropped. But the fault was not in management Luck was against us. All the breaks went the other way. Worst of al, it was an off year for at least a half dozen of the players. They sim ply couldn't get started And l was one of that group.

 FOR PLANT JUICE Well Known Birmingham Man in a Signed Testimo-
 nial Praises Plant Juice


 One of the latest to give a voluntary signed testimonial for Plant Juice, tell ing how he has been restored to health, is Mr. w. N. McRae, who resides at POS 59th street, north. an old soldier, who relates how his health has once more been restored. He stated:
 "Ever since I fought in the war under Gen. Joe Wheeler, in the Sxty-third in- fantry, have suffered in some form or other. My trouble mostly took the form of indigestion and dyspepsia, where all of my food fermented and literally rotted in my stomach I had pains all through my body and my hands and feet were cold, owing to poor circulation. I was constipated and nervous and all run down and no medicine seemed to give me any permanent relief. I began to take Plant Juice about two weeks ago and am able to state that it is just what had long needed. I can now cat any kind of solid foods; I sleep fino at night and do not have an ache or pain. can recommend Plant Juice to anyone suf- fering from stomach trouble, as the above is a true account of my case.
 Plant Juice is sold in Birmingham at Norton's Drug Store, corner Fourth ave- nue and Twentieth street.-Adv.
