A MECHANICAL PITCHER.
Gun to Shoot Balls to Base Ball
Players.

Gun to Shoot Balls to Base Ball
Players.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A machine, or rather a gun, which is in
tended to take the place OF the pitcher in
base ball batting practice has been in
vented by Mr. C. H. Hinton. an English
man. instructor Of mathematics al Prince
ton University. y,s4s-- ..., r. cd
1t Is claimed for the Hinton mechanical
pitcher that 1t can be made to shoot base
ball SO as to make It curve in or out or
drop. and at almost my speed required. 1t
was only after constructing number of
catapults, cannSns and guns all proving
unsuccessful, that Mr.. Hinton finally sue
ceeded in making gun that did not propel
the ball with death-dealing velocity, but
which could be aepended upon to send the
ball at moderate speed, with reasonable
accuracy. and at the same time curve it.
The gun consists, first, Of a cylinder in
which the ball tB placed. Behind the ball
Is placed a movable breech and to this is
attached tube. At the other end of the
tube is a rife. minus the barrel, the tube
cartridge Is placed in the gun, which,
when fired, generates enough gas in the
tube to propel the ball. The powder thus
acts Indirectly upon the base ball and NOT
directly as 1t does oHa bullet in a gun bar
rel. 1t thus has more the effect Of COM
pressed air.
Shot straight out OF the cylinder thus the
base ball would of course, go straight ex-
cept as affected by the attraction of grayi-
tation. To produce the curve Mr. Hinton
made some iron fingers, padded on the In
side with rubber, the fingers being attach
ed to a false muzzle, which fits on the
muzzle and can be turned at will. The
base ball, when shot, strikes these fingers
on one side and receives rapid rotary mo-
tion The ball Is made thus to curve to-
ward the side on which the fingers are

1t would have its disadvantages. how
ever. If the game was lost, the other
players could not lay the blame on .'rotten
pitching" nor could 1t be fined 500 for los
ing game. 1t would be a regular soft
couldn't field the bunt.
1t might be well, too, to invent a meehan-
ical catcher, If it ever gets into a regular
game, and there ought to be some ruIe
passed to show who is out If the mo-
chanical pitcher fires the ball clean through
the catcher and scatters itself, with bits
OF his insides, over the crowd in the grand
stand. eNN
But, seriously, such a gun could hardly
be OF very great service even in practice
as hatters would easily learn to hit any
merely mechanical curve or drop. It is a
Weli-known fact that every pitcher has his
own individuality about even an ordinary
curve. One mans curve Is unlike anorh
er's. hardly any two pitchers curves nr
drops break alike; some pitchers, snc
cess Is in the Jump on the ball and ca
on. 1t is this individuality that puzzles
batters. pN1Nes
