STRANGE MALADY IN

The Cows Had Been Eating White

Greenville, Nov. A strange

nausea and vomiting, muscular
weakness: rapid respiration and 9th

The people were administering a
strange remedy which consisted of
honey and whiskey given the pat

This gave him clue. The children
prevailed that if the patient were
allowed to take water or calomel he
would die. One little girl had been
kept in bed for almf2st week with
out water or food, save honey and
whiskey. She was in a serious don-
dition.
The Greenviue docter was told
that the COWS were also afflicted
with a strange disease and an in
vestigation proved that the symp-
toms of the cattle were Iof the same
nature of the persons, afflicted.
This gave him a clugh. The children
and Others taken with the strange
disease were milk drinkers, the doc
tor was told.
Professor C. A. Ludwig botanist
of Clemson college was consulted
Plants and weeds in the vicinity
were studied. One of the plants
found in the infected area was the
white snake root. and investigation
proved that this plant had been the.
cause of milk sickness.

MAkET0UR
OF THE ORIENT
Men Are Selected for Their Ability
and General Conduct Is
Gentlemen,

New York, Oct. 9.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-At least three mem
bers OF the New York Giants, world
champions, and three Of the Yam
KEGS, the losing team, in the series
that ended yesterday will partici-
pate in the tour of the orient that
has been organized to further the
growth of baseball beyond the Pa
cific.
While the official roster has not
been completed for the party that
will gather at Chicago next Sun
day to sail from Vancouver in time
to reach Yokohama on Oct. 81, it is
known that George Kelly, whose
hit won yesterdays game for the
Giants; Art Nehf, the only pitcher
to win two games in the series, and
Emil Meusel, the smuggling outfield-
er, will 60 from the Giants squad.
From the Yankees will go Joe
Bush, who pitched two losing games
for his team, including that of yes
terday; Waite Hoyt. the sensation
al boy pitcher, and Fred Hoffman,
second-string catcher.
Other players billed to 60 are
Tom Griffith of the Brooklyn club;
Joe Sewell and Stephenson of the
Cleveland Indians; Amos Strunk

Joe Bush and Yanks Quit Cold
in Final Game Of World Series
Against Giants; Sympathy Gone

the Yankee bench it was a magnif-
icent stroke of baseball ability.
Groh hit a fly to centerfield after
Bush had him in the hole and
Frisch poked a double to left field
which was clumsily handled by
Mcmillan, who had taken Wits
place. The ball should not have
been good for more than a single.
Meusel hit to Scott and Groh was
run down between third and home.
Fine work for the Yankees.
The next batter was Young. Bush
pitched a ball and then q signal
was flashed to him from his bench
to give Young a base on balls
Bush resented it. He let every
body know that he resented it. He
turned his face toward the bench
and shook his head negatively and
with emphasis. He kicked his
toes in the ground and he acted
like a petulant child who has just
been told not to eat any more cake
He threw three more balls tC
Young and each one that he threw
carried with it message OF rebel
lion against his instructions. He
didn't take his orders like a bal
player.
Then Kelly came to bat with the
bases filled. The situation was NJ
worse for Bush than it had been
for if Young had made base hi
two runs would have been as likely
/ to score, and with three on the
bases there were more chances tt
retire the side. Bush pitched once
to Kelly, high in the center. ant
without curve. He pitched sec.
ond time and a school boy coulG
have hit the ball. Kelly did.
Bush took one look at the bal
flying to the field and then b.
looked toward his own bench. ani
it was not look of rapt admira
ton.
King was the next batter for tn,
New York. Nationals and batted :;
high fly to left field. Meusel am
bled for the ball and it fell at hi!
feet. King had base hit on fl!
that a nimble outfielder woult
have caught with a little exertion
Young scored but his run was no
needed. Snyder lifted weak fl!
to centerfield and the inning ended
! The first half of the ninth innin!
had to be played because 1t wa
part of the game and the Yankee
played it because they had won tn
American league championship.

New York, Oct. 3. - The vital
point in the world series Of 1922
which ended with the Giants the
winners when pinch-hitter Kelly
walloped single and drove in the
winning run, is not that the New
York Nationals won it in four
straight games, but it is that a
team which won the championship
OF the American league after such
brilliant race should so COM
pletely funk as the Yankees
flunked with their bats.
The Giants do not do such great
things with the bat but they were
playing a team that did moth
ing with the bat and in three of the
games the pitchers Of the Yankees
were unquestionably careless OF
moments when it was fatal not
only to their records but to the
success of their team.
| In the eighth inning of the fifth
game Of the world series a pitcher
of the New York American league
club with the game to in favor
of his team and with players on all
the bases, pitched second time to
i Kelly of the New York Nationals
Kelly lined it to centerfield for a
base hit and two runners, Frisch
and Meusel, scored and the score
/ was to 3 in favor of the Giants
and the world series was won.
The pitcher, Bush, looked toward
the bench of his own team with a
sneer on his face. He tossed his
hands in the air with the bal
players mute gesture of passing
the buck. Then he tossed the bal
to the next batter If there had
been sympathy for the American
league team in the hour of its af.
Fiction somehow it evaporated and
merged itself with the October haze
that had descended upon the field
To 60 back a little as to wha
had happened. The Yankees by {
brilliant rally had scored run II
the seventh and were leading 5 Il
2. In the Giants half Of the
eighth, Bancroft hit down the RICH
field foul line and Pipp made tn
most brilliant play of the series
when he stopped the ball and re
tired the batter. 1t was as neal
the achievement Of the impossible,
as a ball play can be expected u
accomplish. At that moment wnel
victory seemed to be lowering owe
