The crowd that blocked traffic formed a ring and the singu- lar one executed as nifty a war dance as ever was trod upon the hot ands of his native Senegal. He moved up a block, to 45th street, taking his audience and his enthustasm with him. He repeated his performance at each crosstown street until he reached 4Sth, when :he was told the police were on his trall. He disappeared into a taxi- cab bound for the black belt in Har- lem. It was Siki's first escape from his manager in a week. His last adven- ture occurred when he fled his train- ing camp with $1,000, which rolled away in a flood of alcohol.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, WE THE STAR’S PANORAMA OF BASE BALL A'Pict_orial Highlight Hiuory'nf the National Game (Copyright, 1923, in U. S. and Great Britain by North American Newspaper Alliance. All rights reserved.) NO. 28—THE BEHAVIOR OF THE BALL. A base ball is a base ball, but it’s a skittish little thing, as un- certain a race horse, depend- ent on who takes it in hand. There are more personalities in ® ball than are dreamed of by the average fag, and the batsman has to get acquainted with them and not notice their temperament so as not to get rattled. There is the slow ball and the fade- away and the knuckle ball and the hock ball, and the spit ball and the palm ball, and the high floater and the fast fader, and the thumb jumper and the ball that changes its pace with a seeming intelligence that fools the man at the plate. And every one of these is a sort of discov- ery. The man behind the ball in every instance has gone down in base bail history as a particular hero. Whose name identified in mind with the spin or slow ball? That' of Alphonse Martin, who had fought in the Civil war and sprang it on New York teams in 1863, We have already answered the question: Who pitched the first curve? Arthur Cummings. Who perfected the chop hit, which in a fashion is a cousin (hit on the head) of the bunt? The Baltimore Orioles of '9%4. Who made the spit ball a won- der? Stricklett of the Chicago Americans, in 1903. But it is claimed by some base ball writers well up in the history of the game that some quarter of a century before. Bobbie Matthews, who was the curve pitcher to follow Cummings, really invented it. Who improved the slow ball? Radbourne, a Providence star. And do we not all hail Chris Mathewson’s fade-away and Mor- decai Brown's hook curve, due to his having only three whole fingers on his pitching hand? There's a way to hold the ball, there’s a subtle use of the fingers, hidden jerks of the thumb, beau- tiful twists of the wrist, and you become a famous pitcher. Some of these different behaviors of the ball were noted in early his- tory of the game, after the curve sct the pitchers thinking; then they passed out of favor, and were rediscovered,.and so it will be until base ball ceases to be played. And because of the tem- perament of the ball. the science of it has been studied, and the game has been tightened to cope with it, and both infielding and outfielding have developed to meet the different emergencies. Diagrams have been drawn to show how the ball revolves and the physics of motion have been studied so that something of the mystery of the spit may bt ex- plained. But still the ball is the mystery, the very heart of the game.® And the twirler is the real hero. It's the pitcher who is taken out when' the dykes break and the opposing team get a tor- rent of runs. The batsmen are literally “on to his curves” and can hit him all over the place. You don't find any one else be- ing taken out of the game. But a pinch hitter is often called to meet the emergency of the ball. It's always the ball and how the ball behaves that holds the vic- tory and the loss in base ball. Tomorrow: “When the Prince of Wales Tried to Be a Fan.” THIS IS THE PICTURE OF A GREAT MOMENT IN HISTORY. IT SHOWS CHARLES RADBOURNE THIN ING. HE SAID, “NOW I AM GOING TO THINK OF A WAY TO IMPROVE THE SLOW BALL,” AND HIS MATES ON THE PROVIDENCE TEAM GATHERED ROUND IN SOBER ATTITUDES, AND THE PHO- TOGRAPHER EXPOSED THE PLAT!

Kano of the winners smashed the maples for a nifty set of 361. The Construction gang of the same league also swept the boards. Installation being the victims.

In the Nautical League the Sunset quint ran away with three games from the Yaps. Meany heclped the victors with a st of The Marine Corps quint of the vy Department League won all i games from the Lithographers. A ni by Dunavent of the victors last game helped some. The Y. F. Club of the Hebrew League was too much for the Mar- delle quint, grabbing three games. In the Veterans' Bureau, the In- surance team stopped the Chiet Clerks in three games by good margins. TURNER IS THROWN TWICE BY MEYERS Bobby Mainfort, former wrestling coach at the University of Virginia, assumed a dual role in the grappling show at Central Coliseum last night, but, according to some of those who saw the wrestlers in action, was good in only half of his performance. They questioned that portion of the bill in which he acted as referee, but Mainfort was boss, £o the big match of the evening went to Johnny Meyers of Chicago, world middleweight title claimant, who was given two falls over Joe Turner, local veteran, in three mix-ups. After Meyers scored a fall with a toe hold following thirty minutes of work on the mat, Turner with a flying mare got a fall in thirty-nine min- utes. During the third go, Turner ac- cldentally struck Malnfort, forcing the referee off the mat. Almost at the same time, Turner's supporters claimed, he pihned Meyers to the canvas, but ‘the official did not see a fall. Wher, ‘ut the tllhleenthl minute of the bout, Meyers flattened Turner with a wrist locks however, Mainfort was in position to see what was going on and gave the title claim- ant fall and match. Mainfort was a princlpal in the other {mportant bout of the evening, wrestling_ with Pinkey Gardner of Boston.

J. Ross Allen, who is coach- ing the team for the second year, is working hard to overcome the handicaps. During the early part of the season, however, the team can- not possibly be up to its standard, but should players return to the squad, and reach its zenith of playing_ability for the game against Military Academy at West Point, February 23. With the foot ball squad are: Mc- Kee, captain and star forward: Shapley, a very brilliant offensive guard; Flippin, Cullen and Hearst, substitutes. Flippin had an excellent chance of landing the vacant guard position. Absence of these players during December and part of Jan- uary will give the team a decided setback. Walshe, last year's regular center, and Barnes, a guard, are in some scholastic difficulties, which they Thope to gvercome in a few weeks, but they are not likely to play in the games during the present month. Another serious loss is that of Jones, who played a fast game at center and guard, but who has had to give up basket ball on account of rheu- matism. Harris, for two years, a regular forward, but who lost most of last season through an injury, is in good condition again &nd going very fast. Craig, who came from Marletta, is also showing much improvement snd is & worthy rival of any Navy for- ward. Harris is a third excellent forward. - At present Eckstorm is ' playing center. He has plenty of height and shoots well, but has had little expe- rience. Day and Schelbeler have been used to some extent at both center and guard, and either may land a place. Metteuci, .a substitute guard last year, probably will play the carly games, at least, in that position.

ROW STRESSES NEED OF NEW NET POLICY BY WALTER CAMP. NEW YORK, December b. tempest in a teapot” stirred up tennis ranks through an article by Willlam Tilden and comment on it by a member of the committee, brings up a point that has been stressed by this writer for more than a year—that no efforts are being made by the com- mittee to develop doubles play through- out the country. The throwing together of two men at the last minute may jeopardize our chances in the Davis cup matches at any time, but that is relatively un- important compared with the fact that no effort is being made to induce good men to develop as essentially doubles players. A man coming toward the top in tennis knows that as a singles play- er he may reach the height of being selected as a member of the Davis cup team. More than that, from what the com- mittee hes done in recent vears, he has no temptation to indulge in dou- bles because the committee is not se- lecting doubles teams, but is picking good singles players and throwing them together as a doubles pair. Even If we should lose for a time, our development of doubles players and consequently the spread of tennis and the getting of more people on the same number of courts, is a worth-while job. When respect iy shown by the committee for doubles teams there will be a largely in- creased interest in that form of play. {POLO TEAMS PAIRED CLEVELAND, Ohfo.

EW YORK, December 5.—Now that Harold Hackett of the D. cup committee and William Tilden have both entcred briefs in the great controversy over the international doubles played Forest Hills last summer, it would seem as though a battle is_really on When parties are spoiling for a fight it is better to let them go out side and have it out.
