|LEAGUE GREATEST
 IN 1908 SEASON
Championship Races Not as M.
 citing During Recent Years

New York, Oct. 2.--As close as the American League championship race has been this year between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns and as equally exciting as 1t was last year between the Yankees and the Cleveland Indians, neither compares to that of the National league in the season of 1908.
 The New York Giants and the Chi cago Cubs finished in a tie, which the Cubs won, after those two clubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates had entered the last week of the campaign racing neck and neck, That season was per- haps the most remarkable in the tis- tory of baseball.
 Pittsburgh was at the top of the heap on October 3, New York played Philadelphia that day and the Quak- CTS defeated Mathewson-Coveles twirled for Philadelphia-3 to 2; Pittsburgh and the Cubs both won their games and the Giants fell~ with thud into third place. Chicago and Pittsburgh met in what was thought would be the e. ciding game of the season. If either Chicago or Pittsburgh captured that game it won the pennant, but if the contest ended in tie New York would win, providing that it van- quished Philadelphia the same day. The Cubs defeated the Pirates, to. 12, chiefly on Pittsburgh's own mis- plays,
 That placed Chicago first, Pitts burgh seconds and New York third. The Giants, however, had three games remaining to play with Boston and, If they won all of them, their per- centage would equal that of the Cubs and the campaign would result in a tie. New York did win and an extra game was decided upon to settle the issue, Chicago winning.
 The whole situation, however, had created by an incident in a game be- tween the Giants and Cubs on Sep tember p3 in which Fred Merkle, the Giants first baseman, pulled what has since been regarded as the big gest bone" play in history.
 In the particular game in which Merkle erred the ninth inning had been reached and two Giants were out. Mccormick was on third base and Merkle was on, first when Brid- we'll, the Giant batter, hit a clean liner over second base. Mccormick scored and Bridwell touched first base.
 In the midst of the pandemonium Evers, playing second base for the Cubs, jumped astride that bag and called for the ball to be thrown. for him. When Evers received the ball Manager Frank Chance of Chicago asserted that Merkle was out for fail- ure to ouch second base. While bed lam broke loose Umpire O'Day sus- pended play and left the field to think out the problem.
 O'Day returned when most of the crowt had gone and declared that Merkle was out, thus nullifying the run that Mccormick would have scored, and ruled the game therefore was tie, one to one. Then, when the season ended in tie. tn play-off was necessary.

Veterans Bureau has in view in es-

the disabled man often complained

Giants.

From Nature we learn Of recent
meeting of the British association.
wherein it was brought out that the
popular conception is untrue regard
ing power of giants and the mag
nificent types of masculinity which
they are supposed to be. Statistics
were presented to show that giants
were relatively feeble, usually short
lived and, in the majority of cases,
devoid of those features peculiar to
mascuIinity. Giganticism was said to
be identified with abnormal conditions
of two small organs located at the
base of the brain-the thyroid gland
and the pituitary body. The overac-
tivity Of these, preceding or near the
period of birth, is the primary cause.
Sometimes, however, their overactiv-
ity comes into play after the individu-
al has attained his full growth, and,
as result, an Overgrowth of the ex-
tremities takes place.

SCHEME WORKED OUT WELL
How Host Made Pretty Sure That

The problem was how to invite a
certain young woman to the engage
ment party and still be certain that
she would decline to attend. She
was known to be a killjoy, but if
she were not invited she would talk
of it.
About two weeks prior to the
party the couple managed to bring
together the young woman and a
masculine acquaintance OF theirs.
After the proper introduction the in
nocent young man and the young wo-
man were left alone.
The following week the young man
received two theater tickets from his
acquaintance who was to be engaged
who said he would not be able to use
them himself. Three days later the
Young woman received an invitation
to the party.

Writs Served at Church Door.

Until the middle of the Seventeenth
century a familiar figure at Virginia
church door on Sunday morning was
the county sheriff. The law requiring
attendance at divine worship was of
great assistance to him. 1t rounded
up the planters and small farmers
from remote corners and enabled him
with a minimum of effort to serve
writs, warrants, summonses, execu-
tons and similar official papers.
This practical method disturbed the
planters who did not fancy official in
trusion on such an occasion. So, in
1858, they passed law prohibiting
the service of official papers on Sum
day, at the parish church or elsewhere,
and the sheriff was sent off on his
web of trails the other six days to do
as well as he might.
