The Longest Baseball Game

Edwin A. Goewey, in Leslies.
 As the time for the opening of the 1920 festivities approached. there were few even among the veteran dopes.ers who ventured to do more in the line of prognostication than venture tho probable pennant winners in the big show and the order in which the less favored teams probably would finish.
 Well, the still young 1920 season al- ready has surpassed expectations, for the very first month of play developed such a chain of extraordinary achieve ments that many seasoned and we'll established records were sent totte-ing from their pedestals into the limbo of things passe. With this splendid te- ginning, the end of the current season should find basebalrs scroll of unusual deeds more bountifully enriched than in any other single year.
 The most sensational of the record wrecking performances took place in Boston on May I, a day more cele- brated for unusual happenings in Flu rope than in the United States. On that date the Brooklyn Robins, the favored dark horse contenders for pennant honors in the National League, and the Boston Braves engaged in the greatest endurance contest the national game ever has seen when they went through twenty-s -six innings of wonderful ase- ball to a II score. Only darkness forced the combat to be called. The Robins made their lonely tally in the fifth inning and the Braves tied them in the sixth. After that there were twenty frames of zeros. Leon Galore, former lieutenant in the A. E. F., who, unlike some other ball players, actually saw service overseas and did not Hide ir, cLi inv orA nil tohn kl,A for Brooklyn. His opponent through the fully twenty-six innings was Joe Oeschger, former Philadelphia star who was traded to Boston by the Giants last August in the Nehf deal. Jnfor- tunately the day of the battle was cold and raw and less than 2,500 fans the longest and one of the

pense of ever, getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here Is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid bathe the eyes two four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflam- nation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even little. take steps to save them now before it is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.
 NOTE: Another prominent Physician to whom the above article was submitted said Bon Opto is a very remarkable remedy. Its constituent ingredients are well known to eminent eye specialists and widely prescribed by them. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one weeks 1,7pe m sahess s or reyuno ood .ne monsy; and IS one of the very few preparations feel should be kept hand for regular use in almost every family" It is sold in this city by all leading druggists.

most gamely fought struggles in hase- ball history.
 The following day the Robins faced the Quakers on their home ground, and again the game went into extra in nings. the Brooklyn outfit losing in the thirteenth session by a score of 4-3 This made a record of thirty-nine in- nings in two consecutive days for the Robins.
 But did the excess effort cause them to slow up or lose their nerve?, We'll ! hardly. Back to Boston went the , Brooklyn club for a game on May 3 against the Braves and this clash last- ed through nineteen innings, the Bos- ! ton team winning by a 2-1 score. Even l q golf fan must admit that the Robins accomplished some feat when they iplayed through fifty-eight innings, or about six and one-half ordinary games 1 in three days hand cunning. Tn the
 nineteen inning affair Sherrod Smith pitched for Brooklyn and Fillingim Tor
 Boston.
 The Brooklyn teams performance in
 the trio of games set a major league
 record for innings played in three con isecutiye days and one which is likely to
 stand for many years. The record for iconsecutive extra-inning games is aeld I by the Pittsburg Pirates, with fifty nine but involves four instead of three contests.

The Preston Motors Corporation Bir mngham's automobile manufacturing concern. have just completed their con- trlDutlon to the State Fair, which opens tomorrow. Their booth has been at traetlvely decorated so as to be a fit ting background for the beautiful new Premocars. It is natural that visitors rom all over the south will want to see what the new Birmingham product looks like and it is not believed that they will be disappointed
 The standard Premocar Six will be on display, showing for the first time the body of the new 1921 model It is quite an innovation in motor cars of this price class, having a cowl ventilator, aluminium steps instead of running Boards. genuine leather upholstery and a straight line bevel from stenlto stern. The top was built also in the Preston factory, harmonizing with the body. This is said to be one of the greatest automobile values on the American market, even in spite of the drastic cuts recently made by Ford.
 The Premocar Special will also be on display powered by the famous Roches- ter Duesenberg motor. carrying q seven-inch frame and the largest pleas ure car rear axle manufactured. It is built oversize. everywhere, having bean designed for strength and durability. although it Is one of the fastest cars out this season. All motors, besides be- ing tested at the factory, receive an additional thorough test at the Preston factory before they receive the final O, K. This is believed to alleviate any little adjustments that might follow during the early period of use.
