The funny part of IL Is that no is earnest,
sincere. This baseball philosopher argues
that tho only reason no did not win last
year was on account of u failure OF his
pitchers. 1t may be true too. This year he
thinks ho has found tho missing ingredi-
cnts to his oriental optical ponnant team
in young Friend and Dolan, two promis.
ing young pitchers, and bo is making
enough bets of suits, hats and dollars to
either make his fortune, If no wins, OF
beggar him, If he loses.
An unknown quantity lies in the 60 Oh
moro new players brought up from the
minor leagues. There may DO fow genu-
inc prizes among the lot, and their work
in the south will DO closely watched.
Tho youngest of them all is ]. Bentley
Seymour, one of the New York pitchers.
He has just passed his eighteenth year.

weighing ITO pounds. Young Seymour Is

lacking only control to make him a star
in his profession.
Last week l met Arthur Cummings.
whose nickname of Candy Cummings I
gave to him in 1878 He Is the pitcher
who should live In fame after ali Others
arc forgotten, and yet no is almost lost to
the world in his humble Brooklyn homo.
1t was no who discovered tho curved ball.
In 1876, while pitching for an amateur
nine, called the Excelsior Juniors. Cum
mings played in game against the Har-
wards on Jarvis field in Cambridge A
number OF tho best batsmcn of tho college
nine struck out and they told Cummings
that tho ball seemed to DO coming straight
ut tho plate, but before passing over it took
Il sudden curve to the outside. Cummings
had been using new twist movement in
that game which came to him rs il by in
spiration. He began to think that this
twist delivery and the puzzling course OF
tho ball had something IL common with
each other.
Next day he went out on tho commons
aud satisfied himself that the ball curved
out of it's natural course He assured him.
self, too, that he had the secret of it in the
new delivery, which he determined to
guard most carefully.
Shortly afterward he lost the curve
and, practice rs he might, he could not re-
gain 1t until tho next spring From that
time no used tho curve constantly, to the
great mystification of all other players.
For several years no controlled tho secret
But mt last Bob Matthews discovered it,
Matthews ono day sat behind Cummings
pitching for the purpose of studying out
the mystery, and ut the worry end of the
game discovered the wrist movement.
Next day Matthews mastered the curve,
and it WAS no longer u secret.
Such Is the history of tho curved ball as
Cummings himself gave it to me.

TALK WITH AN ARMENIAN.
Some of the Horrors to Which This
Defenseless People Are Subjected.

Some of the Horrors to Which This
Defenseiess People Are Subj ected.
Msrderus Mullandorff, brother Of
Alexander Mullandortf, arrived in the
CITY Yesterday and will reside here in
the future He comes to this country
direct from Constsntinople, having left
that city about ak weeks ago. He Is q
Russian Armenian and for fur N ,nths
prior TO coming to Constantinople ho was
in Turkish Armenia, the scene OF the
recent prosecutions and bloodshed by
the Mohammedans.
Mr.. Mullsndorff Is intelligent,
but is not able to speak English.
He WAS seen by TIMES reporter
and when questioned regarding the
situation and condition Of his oppressed
people he stated that in Russian Ar
menia there is q population of mil
lion and half and In Turkish Armenia
q population of $500. 900 and the latter
are the people who are being prosecuted.
At one time the Russian Armenians
started to interfere and assist their
down-trodden neighbors. II WAS then
that the Russian government tnterfered,
and the people were severely dealt
with, some OF them being exiled to the
Siberian mines.
The Car OF Russia soon put stop TO
any of his subjects opposing the Kurds.
The government of Russia also recently
closed 100 Arm enian schools, which was
done by order of the czsr. IL Is believed
by the Armenians that the Turkish and
Russian governments have combined to
crush out the Armenian race. The pos
tai department of the country now open
all letters and mail 1 order to ascertain
that nothing of q political nature reaches
the oppressed people. All letters con-
tanning money are confsca.ed, together
with the money, which is applied to fu-
ture taxes of the party who should re-
ceive the letter and money.
One of the drawbacks TO Armenian
courage is the fact that when one man
commits courageous act his whole
family is murdered for revenge. The
Armenian people own no artillery or big
guns, and when one takes refuge in any
kind Of building the big guns OF the
Turks are turned on 1t, and the build
ing with all the occupants are blown
into eternity. One remarkable instance
which he related was the massacre Of
Malatia, which WAS occasioned by an
Armenian baroer cutting the throat OF
Kurd whom he was shaving. This
deed was caused by seeing his father
and brother murdered in the street by
the barbsIous Turks.
Ono thousand seven hundred people
were murdered in cold blood 70, the act
of one man. Al the same tins twenty
rich Armenian merchants, who were all
located in the same building, had two
Turkish assistants, who pretended that
they were the owners OF the mefchsn-
disc They then had the merchants
hide for fear Of massacre, in a room of
the Turkish morgue. They were left
TO starve to death and all their prop
erty confscated.
The people are in great need, They
are kept from leaving the country, and
are now without food, and many of
them are starving. The American Red
Cross Society are doing all they can to
assist the people, but they are hsmpsred
on every hand by the Turkish govern
