Our licensed spitball tosser, the
Polish Hibernian, Mr.. John Picus
Quinn, was going along nicely until
the seventh, with the Yanks leading
by Ruth's home run, when suddenly
Mr. Quinn commenced to wilt in the
humidity. Four singles and base on
balls were scored off Mr.. Quinn before
they took him out and left Long Ernie
Shore, the Tar Heel twirler, to collect
all were scored by the Browns in that
inning and they maced Long Ernie
4 Shore for couple more in the eighth.
Epidemic of Brittleness
sit seems that the Polish Hibernian
Is geared for winning game every so
/ often. and when he is worked iii the
x.rroper spot he hands the game right
$sover. But the epidemic Of brittleness
tkat has struck the Yankee team and
| Invaded even the pitching department
has caused Mr.. Quinn to be called out
of his turn.
Hence the collapse of the old reliable
~, john Picus Quinn, and when the col
lapse came it was almost as epic as
the disintegraton of the celebrated
s"Qne Hoss Shay" For the name of
John Picus Quinn has been synonym
for reliability this season.
~ There were $4,000 customers on hand
eighth homer, which puts him within
one Of tying his own record pd-within
." two Of breaking it into several small
: fragments. There was some vociferous
4 cheering, but the Babe did not smile,
NOR did he doff his cap gleefully as he
,@crossed the pan. The memory of those
five strike-outs still seemed to rankle:
himself even in this rout. He knocked
home run into the left field bleachers
and also connected for a triple earlier
in the game. But his homer, like
Ruth's, came with nobody on.
After seeing Ruth sock the ball into
tie stands in the second inning, Dixie
Davis, the Brown hurler, who is
young man of thoughtful habits, came
tc the conclusion, after jostling his
glay matter until it ratified in his
Uranium, that it was poison to put any
more baseballs within reach of Ruth's
bat. He fought it out along these lines
- for the rest of the game. This policy
! proved successful for the Browns, but

N Roger Peckinpaugh, who has been

his equine ailment outside and resumed

MacSaUiney, on 4Oth Day
Of Fast. Far From Record

From The Trtoures European Bureau
Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Sept. difference Mac
Swiney, Lord Mayor of Cork, who was
VERY prostrate" tonight. after the
fortieth day of his hunger strike in
Brxton prison, still is far from the
record for extended fasting, according
to the newspapers here. The record is
said to be held By Miss Annie Geshella.
an Austrian girl, who in 1911 went
without food for sixty-fve days in the
state hospital at Morris Plains, N. J.
The newspapers recall that hunger
striking is custom of great antiquity,
particularly in Ireland. Once upon a
time it was customary in Ireland for

means in efforts to overcome a power
full debtors refusal to pay to stand in
front OF the debtors door and refuse
TO take nourishment until the debt had
been paid. St. Patrick himself was
famous faster, according to the leg
ends.
Rumors that Macswiney is receiving
food in some form, either secretly or at
times when he is unconscious, are in
creasing, but they are, apparently with
out the slightest foundation.
Miss Annie Geshella, who in 1911
was thirty years old. tasted from

year. The first day she ate half an

MacSwiney was being fed. He said:

Members of the Academy of Medi-

that he must be getting some bodily

Heroism May Sustain Him
Health Commissioner Copeland said
it seemed impossible that man weak
ened by forty days fast could have the
out that MacSwiney's position as the
hero of his people might help to sus-
tain him.

prisoner. locked up to be neglected and
Forgotten" DR.. Copeland remarked
He has the stimulus of doing this
thing for his country. He feels that if
he dies he will be a hero, and doubt
less he clings to the hope that the gov
ernment will intervene before he actu-
ally perishes, or that some fancy of
his hunger will come to pass so that he
will be not only a hero, but living

1T may be that he will become un-
conscious and be fed without his knowl-
edge The chances are that he is not
ST fering much now
DR.. Copeland's information is that
fifty days is the historical limit in
fasting, and that life could not be sus-
tanned longer. A mans ability to fast
depends upon his store of fats, which
eAable him to live on his own system.
In starvation there is a constant loss
OF protein, and the cells get thinner,
although they do not perish. The dam
age to the body is appalling.
We have not conducted any expert
ments here in fasting" DR.. Milnas S.
Gregory, of Bellevue Hospital, said,
"and I have no fixed opinions. but

consider MacSwiney's fast very un-
usual, as it is reported, and do not
think that any man could have so much
Will and energy, after forty days with
out food. Three weeks should bring an
end to activity. You know how weak
and indifferent one gets who has eaten
nothing in two or three days"
Or. Graham Lusk, considered the
highest authority on nutrition m this
country. would not comment on the
case for publication. In his book The
Elements of the Science of Nutrition.
Dr. Lusk says that in fasting for fifty
days Merletti, Of Paris, swallowed moth
ing except water. He mentions the
forty days fast of DR.. Tanner, Amer
lcan physician, and tells of dog exist
ing III days on 700 grams of water
daily.
"The cause of death seems to be due
to reduction of activity in one or
more organs important for life," he re-
marks of starvation.
DR.. Hereward Darlington, psychical
researcher, has praised fasting as a
remedy for most human ills, in ''Vital-
lty, Fasting and Nutrition"
".Attentlon, memory, association, the
nary brilliancy, all these are made acute
and quickened to a remarkable degree -
he asserts.
Positive Tests Are Known
DR.. Darlington finds that a coated
tongue and bad breath accompany a
long fast. and continue until it is
broken, when the tongue becomes clean
at once and the breath is pure.
ITO the expert in fasting, therefore" :"
he says, "the breath forms a unique
and trustworthy guide to the condition
of the patient, being a kind of sorganic'
barometer, and, above all, supplies us
with positive test which may be ap-
piled in all eases Of fasting where
there is a doubt as to the patients

ing any attempt at deception by indi-
eating at once that an absolute fast is
not in progress"
DR.. Francis G.. Benedict says in the
study Of a man fasting thirty one days:
General observation showed that the
patient was able to exist in a fairly
normal mental condition, entirely out
Of proportion to the physical decline in
his bodily functions"

LONDON, Sept. 81 (By The Associ-

his condition was very bad indeed. He
