lNTER.URDAN LINE.
Gnlcnn Republican,.

The extension of the Urban
electric line from Joplin to Galcna
aud on to Baxter or the building OF
new line from Joplin to Baxter via
Galena was the subject of much
discussion in business circles this
week. The first thing that natural
~ presents itself, is the question:
Does Galena want electric railway
connection with Joplin: When the
matter was first suggested an al
most unanimous no would have
been the response to such ques-
ton. Now the sentiment is greatly
changed. Many are of the opinion
that il would be of great benefit to
Galena. Others think differently,
but favor the building of the road
because they believe that If the
company decides it is a good thing
they will build il, regardless of the
wishes of any one. If Galena does
not give them the right of way
through the city, they will go
around it, hugging the corporate
line as closely as possible, thus Civ
ing us all the evil results, If any,
and depriving us of the benefits,
If any, of the Inter-Urban line be-
tween Galena and Joplin. There is
good argument on both sides of the
question. In many respects cleo
trio railway connection with Joplin
will work an injury TO Galena, but
there is much benefit also to be de-
rived from II. The leading objec-
ton is that our people would go to
Joplin TO trade. If this be true,
would il not hold good if the road
was built through Empire or south
of usf If a refusal to grant the
right of way through the city would
prevent the building of the road,
the argument might be good, but If
the company intends building II,
whether granted the right of way
or not, then Il loses force. Now the
question arises: Will they build IL
refused the right of way? Who can
answer If they asked a bonus TO
come here, we would say without
hesitancy: The threat to build
around us is a bluff, but inasmuch
az they ask nothing but the right of

rHB BIG FERRIS WHEEL.
What 1t Win Cost to Take Down and Carr
to New York.

What 1t Will Cost to Tako Down and Garry
to New York.
from the Chicago Tribune.]
Preliminary work incident to taking down
the Ferris wheel on the Midway Plaisance
was begun yesterday. This consists Of placing
false work. engines, and hosting apparatus.
Some day next week the big wheel will turn
for the last time in Chicago. At that time
several Ferris Wheel Company officials will
ride around on the struts that are still in
place. Some will simply hold to tho ten-inch
iron beams, while others, more timid, will be
tied on.
1t will take ten weeks to take the wheel to
pieces. The car that was used for carrying
the Krupp gun will be used for the seventy
ton axle. The material will be taken in five
trains Of thirty cars each to New York city.
There are 5000 tons of metal in the wheel and
500 900 feet of timber is needed for the false
work Taking the wheel down will be more
dangerous than putting it up. Only one life
was lost in erecting the big attraction.
The expense OF taking down, moving, and
rebuilding the wheel will he S150,0O0. In New
York it is to be placed at Thirty-seventh street
and Broadway. Old Vienna will be repro
duced around it. Here the wheel had 1000
electric lights; in New York the number will
be doubled. The old Ferris Wheel Company
goes out OF existence, and new company,
composed of New York men, has been formed.
Superintendent L. V. Rice has charge of the
removal.
During the fair the wheel went around
10, 900 times, and carried 1000, 900 passengers.
The largest single load was carried October
10, when at 1890 O'Clock ,76S people were In
the cars. The largest days business was Oc-
tober 10, when $4,000 people were carried.
October 8, 10 and II there were 114,00O pas
sengers, the largest average for any three

HOW THEY USED TO PITCH.
Those Were the Days When Baseball Was

Those Were the Days When Baseball Was

From the Cleveland Plaindealer.1
sIt's square, manly game" said the cap
tain, as we clambered through the turnstile,

ago.
why, captain, the game has steadily
grown
Steadily what? Talk about science! The
pitchers, the whole battery of to-day don't
compare with those old"-
what were their strong points, captain?"
Delivery. We talk now about in curves
and out curves and up and down shoots, but
did you ever see a hook pitch?'
NO"
''Ha. ha. Then you know heap about
BASEBALL
How was it deliveredg'
''Well, the best hook pitcher / ever knew
was Jim Bang, the Gotham Terror. Jim had
TO have special ketcher. for no ordinary
mortal wanted to wind onto his hook
what was it like?''
Like 1t was sort of compound curve.
The ball left Jim's hand as if shot from a thir-
teen-inch Armstrong, swerved rapidly to the
right or left and Just as the befuddled batter
struck at it with all his might it made a sud-
den, rapid twirl around his neck, starting
lack toward the pitcher. This was also
called the boomerang pitch"
But how did the catcher get the ball?''
Always in front of the batter, unless Jim
gave him the signal and put on an extra
tw,st. when the ball would whirl around the
hitter's neck twice, and the pitcher git
!.
That must have been remarkable work."
But not so remarkable as the 'bunt' pitch

le!iUyikill.'

well, in this throw the ball went right at
Tie striker like an avalanche, and
straight or curve?'
';traight''-
Why. captain L could hit any straight ball,
hcwevcr swift
Not Jacks. Just as the ball got almost in
reach, and the batter swung himself to smash
i. over the fence, the ball stopped as suddenly
as If striking stone wall, and fell straight to
the ground-'
And the batter would strike at it?''
Always
And how would they get him out?"
Three strikes, every time''
Remarkable pitching, captain; but how
can ii be accounted for?'
Easy enough. 1 asked Jack about it.
Pitching is science. you know. Jack pitched
the ball in such perfectly straight line that
the hole it bored in the atmosphere caused a
vacuum and consequent suction behind it,
and its speed made firm resisting air cushion
In its front. As it few Onward the lengthen-
ing hole in the atmosphere increased its sue
tion and lessened the front resistance pres
sure, and so nicely did Jack calculate that the
ball always dropped just in front of the plate.
