PULLMAN HEARD FROM.

His Western Agent Talks About the Pro-

w. H. Robinson, of Kansas City, west
ern superintendent of the Pullman Car
company, was in Topeka yesterday, and
had a few remarks to make about To-
peka's prospective car shops.

ine,'' he said, AtO secure them, but the
question is, will they liver / have seen
a good many Of these cooperative
schemes Of different kinds, and they in
variably hzzle out in a year or So As q
matter of fact there viii be no business
for the enterprise, as nearly the entire
mileage Of the United States is contract
ed to either our company or Wagner's for
terms OF twenty five or fifty years. The
contracts are not expiring every day. We
have one small one that expires this year,
but it will certainly be renewed The
next one will expire in 1898, but it is as
good AS renewed now. New roads are
not being built to make new contracts,
and 1 don't see where another palace
Car company in the country is going to

Mr.. Robinson perhaps was not aware

who owns the patents, to build new cars

verting all the cars on she train into

The members Of the board of educa-
ton were highly indignant this morning
when they learned that the morning
paper had announced that they had
made an order closing all the schools for

attend the horse races and 60 in free.
President r. 3 Welch is out of the city
but Jesse Shaw. vice president of the
board was seen and he denounced the
announcement SO unauthorized.
Sir. Shaw said: THE only foundation
for the report that I know anything
about. is that Guilford Dudley met me
on the street yesterday and said he was
going down to see Dir. Welch and ask
him to close the schools Friday afternoon
SO that the children might 60 to the
races. He said he thought it would be a
nice thing to do as the racing association
proposed to let all the school children GO
in free"
Mr.. shaw further said that there had
been no meeting of the board and that
the matter had not been presented TO
them and the schools would not be closed
Mr.. s. G Miller, a member of the
board. said: 81 am most decidedly op-
posed TO closing the schools to allow the
children to attend horse races and will
not lend my influence in that direction.
Mr.. Davidson says the schools will be in

Very few but professional players ever
master the drop curve. Almost all anna
tours throw instead the "out-drop." which.
IS its name indicates, is curve half way
between the out and the drop. This is not
at all difficult to pitch. The ball is graspe1
as for the out-curve, but in throwing the
hand passes diagonally across the body
from a little above the right shoulder to
about the height of the belt on the left side.
The ball is released when directly in front
of the home plate.
In the true drop curve the hand travels
perpendicularly in front of. and the palm
toward the body. 1t is very difficult to
give sufficient speed to ball thrown in
this manner. 1t is the lack of force which
makes the down curve SO hard for ANA
tours to master.

firm hold on the ball in throwing this
shoot permits both greater speed and
greater accuracy than in almost any other
delivery.
For the out-curve secure the ball in the

THE SCIENCE tOF CuR. Es,
Which All Pitchers Must Master to Is
of Use to Their Teams.

of Use to Their Teams.
From the New York World.
1t is pretty generall. admitted that the
pitcher is the most important player on
the diamond. To be a good pitcher requires
not only perfect control OF the ball in all
methods of its straight delivery, but the
ability to toss i, in the puzzlng curves
which lead to SO many strike outs.
Arthur Cummings of the old Star team
of Brooklyn was the first ball player to
make practical use of the curve He ex-
perimented and practiced for long time
before he could explain the apparent anon
ally of ball thrown from the hand chang
ing its direction horizontally during the
course of its flight
Scientists have formed many theories try
ing to explain why this Is so. The one
generally accepted as correct Is simple.
