Air current (C) strikes top of ball on surface which has not been shined, while air current (D) comes in contact with shined spot (X). The friction against the natural surface of the ball at (A) is greater than at (B) on account of the smoothness at (B) and tends to pile up a cushion of air at (A), which tends to make the ball break in direction shown by heavy dotted line. The. lower figure shows how the ball may be made to break upward by having the smooth spot at the top of the ball. The principal is the same, the cushion is piled up at (B), forcing the ball in direction shown by dotted line. By PAUL PURMAN. There's a lot of talk this season net about a new kind of ball used e: ively by several pitchers and wh has been known as the shineball, orice ball, talcum powder what not. Its use, so far as reports show, has heen confined to the Amer league and for the most part to pitch- ers on the Chicago club. The name, “shineball,” probabty is the best way to designate the inno-j vation, which ball players declare has a peculiar break, w n only ex-} ceeded by that of the illegal emery ball. As the emery ball was produced by. the use of a small rough spot on the ball, the shineball is similarly caused by a small, very smooth spot on ‘the This may be caused by rubbing talcum powder, licorice or any other ball.

The use of the shineball this year was first noticed in a game pitched by Falkenburg in a game between the Athletics and Cleveland, May 22. FAMOUS BASEBALL INVENTIONS 1867—The first curve ball was in- vented by William Arthur Cummings. Other curve balls had undoubtedly r of the Emery Ball and Piled oy been pitched before this, but Cum- mings was the first man to recognize the theory of curve ball pitching and apply it so he could tell what direc- tion the curve would take. 1904—Elmer — Stricklett invented and developed the spitball, which im- club, Chicago, national open and am- ateur champion, wiil play in two ex- hibition matches here, July 9 and 10, for the benefit of the Red Cross. Evans will be paired with Harry G, Leeg of Minneapolis, former Trans- Mississippi title holder, sagainst George Sargent and Otis George, pro- fessionals, in an 18-hole foursome at the Interlachen club, July 9. A sim- ilar match will be played the follow- ing day at the Minikahda club, Spec‘ tators will be asked to contribute to the Red Cross. * * # St. Louis, July 7—Branch Rickey, president of the St. Louis Nationals, apparently is ready to trade Milton (Mule) Watson, the big right-handed pitcher. Watson has been suspended and fined $200 for failure to keep in condition. “Any member of our club deserving of such severe punishment‘as was given Watson is undeserving of the job,” Rickey explained. “We need pitchers, but I don't think we need Watson.” —_—_——__——.- Feminine Viewpoint. Naggs—The fact that old man/Solo- ton had 700 wives proves conclusively that he was not as wise as he seemed to be. Mrs. Naggs—On the contrary, it proves that he was the wisest ever. Naggs—How do you figure that out? Mrs. Naggs—Because it takes a pret- ty wise man to manage even one wife. An Object of Sympathy. “Who was that dapper little man you spoke to just now?” A ¥ehicle, propelled by a gasoline motor, an electric motor or both at the sume time, appeared recently. The new car is said to be the beginning of a new era in motor construction, ‘The power plant of the car consists of a small four-cylinder gasoline mo- tor and an clectrie inotor-generator combined into one unit, The movement of a finger lever on the steering wheel connects the gasoline motor to the electric generator, which cranks the engine. Power is transmitted through the armature shaft of the electric mo- tor and propeller shaft direct, to; the rear axle. “My dancing teacher. Did you no- tice the look of commiseration he gave me?” “Yes,” 2 “I recently confessed to him that I thought it a waste of time to dance.” Not to Be Thought Of. “Henry, there was an agent here to- day who wanted to sell mea patent burglar alarm.” “Did you tell him we had nothing anybody could possibly want to steal?” “Certainly not. He might have gone next door and told that hateful Mrs Glithery what I said.” Birds Weigh Themselves, An ingenious naturalist has been making the tomtits record their weighty In order to obtain the food which he Places for them they have to alight upon what appears to be a twig, but is in reality the beam of a tiny scale. As they rest upon it, so they register their weight, which averages about one-third of an ounce per bird—48 tomtits to the pound! ‘ mediately became popular. Cap An- son and other old-timers insist that} HANK GOWDY IN pitchers back in the eighties had used a moist bail delivery, but if they did they never learnéd properly to con- trol it. > 1909—Russell Ford perfected the emery ball. He used this successful- ly and secretly until 1914, when the batl was barred by the National, Am- erican and Federal leagues. 1917—Shineball developed and used in the American league by Cicotte, Danforth, Falkenburg and other pitch- ers. é NEW SPANGLES Ther are two levers on the steering wheel, corresponding to the spark and throttle on the ordinary car, One con- trols the speed of the gasoline motor and the ¢ther the electric motor.

Further advance uses the excess power to charge the battery. Using both motors the car will develop a speed of 40 miles an hour, The points of the car are described in this way: It may run as an electric, with any of the advantages possessed by an elec- tric, It may travel as a straight gas ear, It may travel on both, gasoline and electric power at the same time, with the same simplicity of operation. The gas engine charges the battery. The car has all the luxurlousress of the higher class cars which have been produced for years and looks like a gasoline car. It has no transmission, there is no shifting of gears and the clutch is operated by electricity. The tor, As the lever is moved forward it! makers say it will travel through mud. UNCLE SAM SEIS PRINTING RECORD dovernment’s Big Establishment Turns Out Vast Amount of Work. WAR IS CAUSE OF INCREASE Press Room Produces 240,000,000 Copies of Posters, Pamphlets and . Other Publications in be : One Month, é ee! i War-time work at Uncle Sam’s print- ing office has reached large propor tions, establishing during one month! @ record never before equaled in the history of the office, according to Pub- lic Printer Cornelius Ford. The pre- paredness and war situation demanded rush delivery on a vast number of or-| ders covering every conceivable class of printing and binding, these orders, varying in quantity from 1,000 to 25, stitched pamphlets, varying in- size from 8 to 250 pages euch, on mat- ters concerning preparedness‘and war were printed. - The output of the bindery during the month was extremely heavy. In ad- dition to many millions. of copies of miscellaneous work, there were 750,- 000 bound books delivered, among which were: “Handy Book for En- listed Men,” 10,000; “Soldiers’ Deposit Book,” 20,000; “Manual of Interior Guard Duty,” 100,000; “Provisional Drill and Service Regulation,” -20,000 ; “Manual for Courts-Martial,” 100,000; “Small Arms Firing Manual,” 100,000; “Health Record for Officers,” 25,000; “Drill Regulations and Service ual,” 30,000; “Army Regulations,” 000; “Rules of Lund Warfare,” 26,- 000; “Lhe Army Horseshoer,” 10,000; “Army. Horse in Accident.and. -Dis- ease,” 6,000; “Infantry Drill Regula- tions,” 90,000. Other Departments Supplied. The agriculture department was supplied with many millions of post- ers, bulletins, etc., concerning food conservation and farming. In addition to the printing and binding in connection with the prepar- ation and prosecution of war, the regu- lar current work, unusually heavy at this time by reason of increased activ- \ties and the creation of new bureaus, was produeed for the departments and the side of the ball which has not} Speaker, Cleveland, balls to Cobb. ‘Ty hit one and popped Guess who it is. printed in two colors, were delivered | ehee other pitchers are said to be using it.! e ; congress, amounting to, approximatel, Cincinnati at Boston. ,| The legality of the ball was taken!
