Gravediggers Want an Eight-Hour Day. From the Westminster Budget.l

Gravediggers Want an Eight-Hour Day.
 [From the Westminster Budget.l
 The gravediggers are the latest trade to claim an eightIhour day. They com plain that the hours of work at Willes- den are no less than thirteen. We do not know how long 1t takes to dig a grave, but thirteen hours day seems to point to an alarming mortality. In this case at all events the public will desire to see the hours of labor short ened as much as possible-preferably by the diminutfon in the demand for graves rather than by the increase in the supply of gravediggers. Moreover, the occupation, as Shakespeare shows us in Hamlet" should be carried on in leisurely and philosophical spirit, and this is impossible if the gravedigger is overworked. It will add a new pang to death if we know we are adding to the labors of an already overworked sexton. Philanthropists will all be ere mated .3. Ss

Meeting Called for the Purpose of Forming
 New Haven enter.
 Notices have been sent out asking all those interested in the formation of a university extension center to meet Sec retary Allan c. Kelley, of the Connect icut Society for University Extension. in the hall of the free public library at o'clock Thursday evening.
 It is hoped that a center will be form ed that evening. There have been some 200 or 300 people here who have signi- fled their willingness to join such an or gapization. The idea is to start with about 400 members, when regular uni versity extension course of lectures will be given The cost of these lectures will probably be between $l and $l.5o. It is hoped that the meeting will be largely attended.

accomplished by thousands OF pitchers.
Pitching comes natural TO some players
just as catching does 10 others, outheld

besides brute force. The day when speed

Another thing, which | find of material
advantage 10 me. is in studying the
weak points in the batsmen who face
me. Some batsmen can hit one sort
of a ball, and they can't hit another. and
ii is TO a pitchers interest to find out
all these little things, and utilize them ac-
cordingly.
There is another point in pitching which
beginners should study, and that is the
position of the feet and hands. a pitcher
whose feet get in his way can never
hope to become famous as a green dia-
mond twirler. Then a pitcher who allows
the batsman TO see the ball all the time
is at a disadvantage. OF course, the
rules will not permit one TO hold the
ball behind the back before delivering 1t,
as was the case years ago. but If one is
blessed with large hands. large palms

matter to conceal the ball, or practically

1t has been said that when a pitcher
