JULY WAS FULL OF FREAKS
Accidents, Extra-Inning and No-Hit
Games Among Unusual Occur
rences In National Game.
A sorles of unusual occurrences
marked July in professional baseball.
Extra-Inning, no-hlt games and acci
dents on the diamond wero grouped
within a few days, as was tho caso Just
about that period in 1913.
Taking theso unusual features by
dates, July 17 saw Clydo Milan In col
llslon with Moollcr, his teamrnato, as
both raced for a fly ball In tho Washington-Cleveland
game, with the result
that Milan received a badly fractured
Jaw.
On tho same day Gcorgo Weaver,
captain of tho Chicago White Sox, col
lided with Dcmmitt under similar cir
cumstances and was severely lujured
about tho head.
A no-hit-no-run gamo nnd a 21-innlng
struggle also figured in tho record of
July 17. At Pittsburgh tho Now York
Giants and tho Pittsburgh Plrntes
played 21 innings, tho Now York club
winning by 3 to 1. Bubo Mnrquard
and Bubo Adams, tho rival pltchors,
twirlod tho cntlro contest. With tho
oxcoptlon of tho 24-lnnlng game be
tween tho Philadelphia Athletics and
tho Boston Americans on September
1, 1906, this is tho longest gamo over
played In the major leagues.
Threo days previously tho Hartford
club defeated tho Now Haven tenm
2 to 1 In a 23-innIng gamo in tho East
cm association, which is tho third
longest gamo In tho record of profes
sional baseball.
Tho 2G-Innlng contest between Deca
tur and Bloomlngton of tho Three-Eye
league, played on Mny 31, 1909, still
holds first place, and tho Philadelphia
Boston 24-innlng mutch second posi
tion in the record of long games.
Getting back to July 17 again, Jnmos
Withers, pitcher of tho Duluth club of
tho Northern league, twirled a no-hlt-
no-run gamo against tho"Virglnl'n club
of tho same league. This is the third
hltlcss gamo of tho Northern lcaguo
this season.
Tho next day at Lebanon, Pa., the
Lincoln Giants, a semi-professional
team, varied tho schedulo by defeating
tho home club 23 to 3, and incidentally
ecorlng eight homo runs. Throo piny
ers ench secured two circuit hits.
Moving on to July 19, tho records
show that tho Wichita club of tho
Western leaguo defented Sioux City
3 to 2 In a 21-innlng gamo which re
quired 4 hours nnd 48 minutes to play.
On tho samo day at Long Branch,
N. J., Jose Acosta, tho Cuban pitcher
of tho seashore team, shut out tho St.
Louis American league club without a
hit or run, winning a 3 to 0 victory,
In which he did not glvo a base on
balls nnd had but twolvo balls called
on his delivery for the full nine Innings.

by wading through
tho blood of his
fellow men. By tho
sword ho con
quored and by tho
sword ho kept his
subjects in bond
age. But scarcely
was he laid in his
tomb when his
empire was dis
solved, and his
subjects shook off
tho yoko Hiat had
been forced upon
them.
Tho a p o s 1 1 ob
gained nations to
Christ not by tho
sword, but by tho cross. Thoy con
quered not by force but by persuasion;
not by shedding tho blood of others
but by shedding their own blood; not
by enslaving tho bodies of men, but by
rescuing their souls from tho yoko of
Ignorance and sin. And tho fruit of
their victories remains unto this day. !
Tho apostles wero fow in number.
They wore without wealth or position,
without high mental endowments or
acquired learning, without tho prestigo
of fame, of obscuro origin, and of
nolther social nor political conse
quence. Thoy belonged to a race hated
and despised by both Greeks and Ro
mans. They wero, in flno, men quite
without those qualifications which aro
commonly thought to be essential to
success In nny great enterprise.
Well indeed could St. Paul exclaim:
"Tho foolish things of tho world hath
God chosen to confound the wise; and
tho weak things of the world hath God
chosen to confound tho strong; and
tho baso things of tho world, and tho
things which are despised hath God
chosen, and the thluga that aro not,
that Ho might bring to naught those
things which are; that no flesh may
glory in his sight."
It tho gospel had been propagated by
tho power of TlberiuB Caesar and the
governors of tho Roman provinces, tho
world could reasonably say: "Thero
is no mlraclo here, for Christianity
was established not by the flngor of
God, but by tho might and majesty of
kings."
Or it armies had been sent to force
the new religion upon tho world men
could say with truth: "Thero Is no
marvel hero; tho Christian faith was
propagated, not by the sword of tho
Spirit, but by tho arm of the flesh."
Or if the orators, statesmen and
philosophers, tho historians and poets
had united with voice and pen to cham
pion tho cause of the infant church,
tho world could say that there wae
nothing supernatural In all that; that
tho gospel was recommended not by
the folly oj tho cross, but by tho "por-
suubivo words oi numan wisuom.
But when to the personal insignifi
cance of tho apostles and tho austerity
of their doctrine is added tho violent
opposition which they met at overy
stop from the Jewish and the Gentile
world, wo aro lost in wonder and ad
miration ut the success of tholr mis
sion. Upwards of fourteen hundred yea
ago St. Augustino proposed to tho cavil
lers of his tlmo an argument which
has greater cogency now than it had
even then. Either, ho says, tho Chris
tian religion wub propagated by
miracles or without them. If tho for-
mor Is true, tho church is manifestly
dtvlno. If, however, tho world was
converted without miracles, this of It
self would ho a mlraclo so stupendous
that no other could bo compared with
it.
tolls how theso secret, hidden force
act.
While, however, laws aro never sus
pended or violated, It Is ono of the
commonplaces of human experience
that ono force overbalances nnother
force, so that whut would tako place
because of ono forco docs not tako
placo becauso nnother forco is In
action.
For oxnmplo: Tho law of lnortia
Is that all mntorlnl being naturally
remains In that state of rest or mo
tion In which it is. Tho waters of
tho sea, under tho operation of this
forco, which tends to keep bodies as
they nro, would remain in tho sea.
When, how-over, tho forco that wo call
heat Is applied to tho sea, vast vol
umes of water aro lifted high in tho
air. Every day millions upon millions
of tons of water aro thus raised to
tho skies.
Tho book which lies beforo you on
tho table will naturally continue to
Ho thero, but if you tako tho book in
your hand tho forco which wo call
muscular energy, directed by another
force, unseen, Intangible that wo call
tho human will, may lift tho book,
open tho book. The law of gravitation
is not contradicted, it is not suspend
ed; It is overcomo for tho tlmo b
tho law of muscular energy, Just a
tho watera of tho sea aro lifted Into
the air by tho power which wo call
heat.
There Is nothing new in theso state
ments. Thoy aro obvious to any think
ing person, but if persons do not think
thoy will not havo theso facts in mind.
Let ua then reflect that a miracle is
not a suspension of natural law nor
abovo all a violation of natural law;
It Is the overcoming of ono forco or
set of forces by another forco which
is greater.
Take, for example, tho resurrection
of tho dead. If such an ovent has
over taken place or shall over take
placo, it will not bo the suspension
of forco or tho violation of force, but
tho overcoming of tho forces which,
tend to disintegration by anothoi
forco which, equnllje hidden, is mor
powerful and gives us life Instead o
decay.

WHAT 18 A MIRACLE?
CHAUCER'S "POOR PARSON."
(By ALnEllT S. COOK, I'll. D., LU D,
I'roTcssor of EiirIIsIi Language ana IJt
crnture, Yalo University.)
"I often rend tho Dible. I HUo to

cannot understand how tt Is thut so
many persons pay so little attention to

llam of Germany.
For seven hundred years after tho
composition of Cacdmon's hymn (with
which English literature began), much
tho largest part of English literature,
both prose and poetry, was founded
on or strongly influenced by the Bible.
At length Chaucer came (died 1400
A. D.), an author much gayer and
merrier than any of his predecessors.
But notwithstanding all his mirth and
gaiety, ho had u serious strain, and
In It produced some of his finest work,
including such poems as the Par
doner's talo, tho Prioress' talo of
tho llttlo schoolboy, and tho
Clerk's talo of Grlselda. Perhaps
his greatest achievement, considering
the limitations of space, is his Pro
logue to tho "Canterbury Tales;" and
in tho Prologue nothing Is better than
his account of tho country clergyman,
a character which embodies some of
the best teaching of tho Bible. This
"poor parson" Is delineated In fifty
two lines, a fow of which follow in a
slightly modernized form:
Full rich ho was In holy thought and
work;
Also ho wns a learned man, a cleric,
Uut Christ's own gospel would he truly
preach,
And all his flock devoutly would he teach.
Benign he was. nnd wondrous diligent,
And In adversity full paUent. . . .
This hohlo example to his sheep he gave.
That first he worked, and afterward he
taught
Out of tho gospel ho those phrases
caught;
And this the figure he supplied thereto
That If gold rust, thon what shall Iron
do?
Por If a priest be foul. In whom we
trust, ,
What wonder though a common man
should rust? . . .

When I was a boy I think perhaps
tho common definition for a mlraclo

which I think hns been a help to

Is simply a description of uniform
action. Tho law of gravitation tolls
how bodies affect one another ns re

tolls how Var falling bodies travol un

tells how firmly tho particles of any
given substance adhere to ono anoth

Art of Sailing.
Shifting canvas so as to utilize tho
blow of tho wind 'for driving shlpB
upon the water Is ono of tho very
earliest of tho arts through which
man has continued to utilize the
forces of nature. When steam power
came into uso tho sailing craft was
at tho very highest stage of its de
velopment. Tho stately four-master,
spreading a scoro of sheets to tho
wind, was queen of the waters a cen
tury ago. With tho multiplication of
steam-driven ships and, within tho
last decado or so, the amazing substi
tution of tho Internal combustion

tho query as to whether the sailor's
