New Yoxk ‘\L\U and Expressy “Agfar ATk X5 1232 th Tocords will show that the Mutuals of this city won a game through the cleverness of Ed Brown, the second baseman. In ihat year the Mutuals visited Newark to- play the Eurekas. Ten innings were played be- fore a victory was gained. The score was thirteen to thirteen when the Mutuals went to bat in the last half of the last inning. The first two men were quickly retired. Things began to look some- what dubious, when Brown came to bat. He managed to reach first base ahead of the ball, but only by a nose, as it were. A passed ball advanced him to second. He reached third on another close shave. This time the crowd thought he was out, and s0_gave vent to his feelings. However, the umpire, thought he was safe and said so. Brown, who was up to all kinds of tricks, then stepped off the base and offered to fight the man who said he was out. At this the Bureka players, who were all gontlemen, gath- ered around third base to quiet Brown. Of course this left home plate unguard- ed, and Brown started for it and tallied the winning run A singular incident happened in Bal- timore in 1869, The Athletics, of Phil- adelphia, went to the Monumental City to play the F ime club. The latter was one run ahead in the ninth inning when the Athletics came to the bat. Levi Meyerle. after two men were out and two on bases, hit a line ball direct- I' at the pitcher. It struck him full in chest and knocked him' insensible. 'J,‘In, ball bounded back over the fence behind the catcher, and Meyerele made the circle of the bases, sending in the two men ahead of him before the ball was recovered. It as the late little Tommy Barlow who introduced the trick of hiding the ball i arm after it s returned from the outfield whena hit had been made, and then catch, the base-runner napping on a neat thfow to the bas: who would be on the lookou It Dickey Penrce who conceived the idea of touching the top of tne ball with hisbat and mnl\m" the famous fair-foul hits, which were practiced by othors with such telling effect, Barlow, Barnes and Pearce being notéworthy at that of batting the ball. )bably one of the most remarkable events in the history of the national game was the double ball racker, which was worked to such perfec- tion by the old St. Louis lengue ¢lub. It was in the season of 1876, Whenever the St. Louis play- went to the bat they would haven lively ball to bat, but when their oppo- nents were at the bat a dead ball would be worked in on them. The ball the club had made especially for its own use Hartfords were victimized by the 1b,and a most remarkable thing oce ery of the two balls. The were scheduled for three July 15, 13 and 15, and the m won all three Hartfords gemes, on St. Louis as follows: L8 10 9; third, 2 10 0. Hurtford club had tout by any other club in gue, and it had “a domoratizing on the tesm; and did more than than auything else to keep the Hart- fords from winning the echampionshin of that the le YOUNG DOLTORS' TRICKS. ille Courier-Journal: of tho devices resorted to by young dis- c\{)lcs of /laiwul.lpmi to give the public high estimation of the volume and re- spectability of their practice are very amusing to those persons who are aware of the real number of calls they have to maka? This ramavk was mafla by s F«.nflunen who is . close obscrver and has frequent reason to call at the offices of numerous physicians. ‘Tell me some of them.” “Well, there is one that is particu- larly noticeahle, and when I tell it to you'keep your eyes open and see 1£ I am not correet. Most all physicians have aslate, One of the first things a you physician does is to get a slate. PE: peruundua himself he cannot get along without one, so he gets one, and usually a large one, Some of v.hun grow dis couraged at the paucity of messages, and fill their own slate, which generally hangs at the front door, with imagin- ary calls for the ‘doctor’ to please come in a hurry to see one of his imaginary patients.~ Others will not go thus far, but will allow every call placed on the slate to remain until the slate is fmally protty well filled with genuine calls, but some of them very ancient.” —~ The Lime-Kiln Club, Detroit Free Press: Upon the open- ing of the meeting Brother Garduer announced that the following mobtos savings, watchwords and axioms had been handed in during the last week to replace those destroyed in the raid three weeks since: “Look up.” “Put your ear to de ground.” ““Protect our lambs.” “De man who is in debt has got hand- cuffs on.” ““Do eugle flies high, poo’ eatin’.
