It is sometimes impossible to avoid

THE RAISE BALL.

1t consists merely in starting the ball
from close to the ground and forcing it
to rise gradually until afterit passes the
plate. 1t is easily produced, but is very
hard to command, and hence is not
particularly effective. 1t was formerly
used with wonderful effect by Tom.
Bond, of the old Boston team. It's chief
exponent now is Mccormick, of the
Pittsburgh club, who continues to use
it with effect. He has wonderful COM
mand of it, and has speed combined,
which renders il unusually effective.
Many people who watched one of last
seasons pitchers marveled at his effect
iveness, and wondered how he succeed
ed in fooling the batters with what
seemed to them a straight ball. The
close observer would notice that the
batters almost invariably struck under
the ball. This was owing TO the fact
that he was master of what is called
the Jump ball, which, owing to the fact
that few men have mastered it, remains

TIE our-cuRyE AND IN-sHoor.

1t is very effective ball, because
more speed can be given to it than TO
any other. 1t is also not so hard on a
pitchers arm, as it does not require that
peculiar jerk needed in producing the
curves. To prsduce it the ball is held
the same as the out-curve, except that
in place of the ball being delivered
through the thumb and index finger, it
is allowed to glide out right across the
tips of the first and second fingers.
A remarkable ball is the drop ball,
now used so much. 1t comes straight
from the pitchers hand for short dis
lance, and then falls to the ground. 1t
is produced in several ways, and by
some pitchers is held the same as an
out-curve. 1t must be started at n good
height, most pitchers delivering it
from above the shoulder. 1t is then
given a peculiar jerk downward as it
leaves the hand. 1t is great ball
with some of the most effective pitchers
in the country, such as Clarkson, Ram
sey, Hudson, Sowders, and others. 1t

There was never any doubt as 10 the temper Of
the convention on this question, but when the

tears of Joy. It was fifteen minutes before the

THE JUMP BALL.

entire control of the ball, however.
The hand is held with the palm toward
the ground, and the ball is brought
from as high as the shoulder, with o
sweep down. When released it is al
lowed to glide out over the tips of the
fingers. 1t seems TO ride the air for a
short distance, and then takes the pc
culiar Jump noted.
These are the principal curves and
shoots used on ball field, although
some men find moro effective delivery
in a change of pace rather than in the
use of curves. Stories have been told
of men who could curve O ball in q
zig-zag around several posts, but the
feat never has and never will be accom-
plished, simply because zig-zag curve
does not exist. The rules for curving
a ball, as given above, are not the only
ones that can be used, as some men use,
for instance, three fingers in producing
an out-curve, etc. But if followed and
practiced they will produce the desired
effect.

Nearly two hours before the time set for tho
opening OF the National Prohibition Convention
at Indianapolis on Wednesday, May 30. delegates
began to assemble. In Tomlinson Hall. There
were . number of farmers among the delegates.
and their habits OF early rising made the delay
irksome. 30 they got together in the rear OF the
hall, and made speeches and cheered to their
hearts content. The galleries were crowded
with visitors long before the convention was
called TO order. Many were unable to got even
standing room. The delegates manifested a
striking fondness for decorating themselves with
badges. many wearing several light and futter-
ing bits Of fringed ribbon. TO nearly all Of which
medallions Of Gen. Fisk were appended. The
hall was admirably adapted for great gathering
like the convention, well lighted, and with fair
acoustic properties. From the paneled ceiling
hung colored banners, and succession OF
Prohibition notices decorated the front Of

stitching of the muscles brought into
play in producing the shoot, and thus
preventing the desired effect. A COM
mon ball, with those pitchers who use
the drop-ball, is the combination down
and out shoot, which is very deceptive
when coupled with good speed. 1t is
produced by turning the hand in the
same manner as to produce an out
curve, and bringing the ball from as
high as the shoulder. This is one of
the hardest deliveries on the pitchers
arm that are used, and those who con-
tinue to use it do not last long as
twirlers. Thus, after games last year,
Clarkson's arm would sometimes turn

curves II must not be understood that
every pitcher has all these curves, as
some of them are peculiar to some men,
while these same may be ignorant of
other curves. 1t is often said, for in
stance, that this or that pitcher has a
good drop ball, or good Jump ball, by
which il is meant that his most decep-
tive delivery is one or the other of the
above. The most common curve, and
without which the average pitcher can
not hope to be effective, is the out-curve
This may be obtained by holding the
ball firmly in the hand, with the tips of
the first and second fingers closely
pressed to the sphere. The ball, in be-
ing delivered, is given q peculiar jerk.
1t slides across the tips of the fingers,
and out between the first finger and the
thumb. The in-shoot is as common as
the out-curve. 1t comes straight for a
distance, and then shoots in toward the
batter, as for instance:
