The evolution of the pitcher fur
nishes an interesting study not only
TO the athlete but to the scientist In
the days of the old Knickerbockers
when enough runs were made to make
a baseball score look like a cricket
match the pitcher was not such an i'm
portant individual as he is to-day In
those days an underhand sort of deliv-
cry was used and even long after that
it was not an unusual thing for team
to score one hundred runs in a game.
Then the pitcher was allowed more
license, the overland delivery came in
and this was followed by the curve.
which learned men Of science said was
an impossibility. Even after a public
exhibition was held, and pitcher sent
the curves between two posts, the sci
entists argued that it was an optical

terly Denounce the President.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 18.-At tonight S
session of the House of Assembly, Mr..
Duncan introduced resolution signed
by himself and J. H. Blackwell, which
he wanted spread ON the minutes. 1t
read:
Resolved, that with all due re-
spect for the office of President of the
United States and with due Difference to
the politics and principles of parties, we
wish to be recorded as ever ready to do
honor to him to whom honor is due, but
in our opinion Grover Cleveland, having
prostituted the high Office Of President
of the United States in using his oppor-
tunities in the betrayal of the Demo
cratic party and the reputation of Demo
cratic principles, we record ourselves as
opposed to the resolution passed by this
House, doing honor to the greatest party
wrecker in the history of American poll
tics.
On motion the resolution was tabled,
only three nays being heard. Duncan
rose to a question of personal privilege,
declaring that by the constitution, he
had a right to have the resolution put
on record, but the Speaker ignored his re-
quest.
