|Text=<p>Always after every game he [Silver Flint] rubs into his palms a mixture of alcohol, lemon-juice, and rock-salt, the effect of which is to render the skin tough and at the same time pliable, and thus to avoid cracks and splits.  In the case of stone-bruises or sprains he uses Pond's Extract, often working upon the injured part until midnight and after.  In the chicago0cincinnati game of four innings and a half, which was played in the rain, Flint got a severe stone-bruise on one of this joints, and he sat up till 3 o'clock the next morning rubbing that bruise with the Extract until every particle of inflammation had been overcome, and instead of being laid off for a week, as would have been the case had he neglected his hands, he caught in the next day's game as though nothing had happened.</p>
