The boys front the Post walloped
the Valdez team of ball tossers by a
score of 12 to 4 yesterday, and not

;tlie Valdez team rubbed it in so
strongly that our boys are not even

both sides playing fine ball. Then the
balloon went up and all that kept
the Post boys from running' them
selves to death was the fact that Val-j
dez' catcher nailed a couple of bone
head plays on the part of the visitors
and ended the agony.
In the first inning Coombs, second
baseman for the visitors brot in a
tally while Valdez went out one. two.

Blackburn hung a goose ygg on the

with the ball in the fifth, and romped

“DRINK STORM” VICTIMS.
N«w Study of Why Som« Men Go on
Periodic Debauches.
There has recently been organized In
Hartford, Conn., a foundation for a
new line of research work relating to
the alcoholic question. This research
will have for its object the explanation
of "drink storms.” which attack men
who are not regular drinkers, but sud
denl.v plunge into a debauch and use
liquor to- excess for a limited period,
after which they resume their usual
condition of temperate living.
This subject is treated by Dr. T. D.
Crothers of Hartford, Conn., in the
New York Medical Iteeord. He says:
“What condition of body and mind fur
nishes the soil, plants the seed and fa
vors the growth in inebriety and alco
holism is yet to be studied. What laws
of growth, heredity, culture, surround
ings, nutrition and mental impression j
favor the development of the drink evil ,
are questions for the future.
“Why the degeneration from the use
of alcohol is in one instance slow, con
cealed and breaking out only after a
lifetime in various diseases: in another
rapid, positive and most emphatic, and j
in a third concentrated on the brain 1
and nervous systcyg or on the organs
of nutrition, and so ou through a long
list of questions as to why and how |
this or that particular phase of disease J
breaks out. are questions for future j
study.
“This is the new scientific field where
exact study is called fox-, groupings of
facts and studies of their meanings, to
■how tl>e causes.of alcohol addiction.”
His Nam* Was “Iks."
I venture to assert that no one has
the uerve to say that he ever hailed the
late Wayne MacVeagh as “Ikey.” But
Ike he was in his boyhood.
His parents christened him Isaac
Wuyne MacVeagh, and his first law
sign in West Chester read. “I. Wayne
MacVeagh.”
But, like Thomas Woodrow Wilson
and Stephen Grover Cleveland, he long
ago amputated what annoyed him as a
superfluous name—improved It. too, and
made it sound far more distinguished.
Those of us who only knew the steel
eyed, sharp tongued, witty, brilliant
and eloquent MacVeagh. lawyer, states
man and politician, cannot possibly
think of him us Ike. — Philadelphia ;
