Some Of the friends Of Mr.. Croker. ever since
he retired from the leadership Of Tammany Hall,
have asserted that his health was far from good;
in fact that he was an III and that his retire.
ment was the result Of poor health. They said
that his physician advised rest and recreation,
and that instead OF working In an office he should
attend to MS racehorses and indulge In other
forms Of outdoor sport in order to recurerate
his shattered physical powers. His departure
for Europe yesterday was due, many OF MS
friends said TO his impaired health. and he went
away. they declared upon the advice OF the
Croker family physician.
"Who Is the Croker family physicianY was
asked by good many people yesterday. but no
one seemed to be able to answer the question.
Some said It was Or. Jenkins and others said
that Mr. Croker had no physician. If Mr. Croker
Is such a sick man It would seem that he must
have a physician but all efforts TO learn VINO

some light on the subject. so n Tribune reporter
went TO the Croker house in East Seventy fourth

sudden departure for Europe. Mrs. Croker was

no need of it, there can be only one
reason therefor, which ia that 1t is done

usually black, no matter what the rest

it ia worn. But new feather is being
offered which may compel women to

Curve Pitching.

There are some people still left wt0
refuse to believe that baseball can

its way to the catcher. 1t has been
proved again and again that ball cau
be "curved" by a now we'll known 5x-
pertinent Two stakes are set up So that
tho pitcher, standing behind one, can
not hit mark ON the left side Of the
other in straight line, the ball passing
to the right Of the first.
Indeed short while ago noted col
lege pitcher was offered 81, 900 by an
old gentleman of his acquaintance If he
could prove to his satisfaction that
baseball could be pitched in a curve S
The pitcher at once set up two stakes in
his back yard and curved the ball
around them in fine style. But the old
gentleman insisted that the whole thing
was an optical delusion and is no more
convinced than ever.
Every boy knows how hard it Is to
bat an out curve or drop, and after he
has struck out few times wants no
one to prove to him there is such thing
as curve pitching. There is little use
trying to explain the theory Of this per-
formanoe here. as many scientific papers
have written on it, which, after all.
would not help man to toss tennis
ball The final twist given the ball as it
leaves the hand makes spinning mo-
tion, so that there is more resistance by
the cir ON one side or the other, and the
ball is forced out of straight line by
unequal pressure on one Of its sides.--
