"Doc" McConough has returned to Broadway after an absence of more than two months, says the New York Press. He went into retreat on Friday, Fri-day, November 13, 1909. The "Doc" Is a great believer in hunches. When he gets a hunch good and strong he plays it to the limit. The "Doc" never had a stronger hunch than on that November day.
