Scientific Pitchers,

Edward Hanlon became reminiscent
while the Brooklyns were waiting for
the steamer Algonquin to sail for the
SM tn.
IL have always studied pitchers
closely" said the noted man ,gpr, "and
! have yet to see the equal OF Keefe
md Clarkson. l think Clarkson was
the brainest pitcher who ever stood In
the tox. When l was with tue cham
pion Detroits Clarkson used 20 have us
guessing. He had the most puzzlins
slow ball ever saw and he knew how
to u.s.. 1t to perfection. Tha moment
IA bLtsman stepped to the plate Clark
son would look him in the eye and
take his measure. He seemed to be
trying to look into the batsman's
brain. In many instances he would
pitch up the first ball as slow as posi-
bic. The batsman would look for n
fast one after that, but Clarkson
would fool him by tossing up another
slow one just outside of the plate. The
batsman, then convinced tliat a fast
ball was due, would naturally be puz-
zled to see another slow one lobbed
up. IL Clarkson thought he had his
man guessing, he would put n fourth
ball as slow as the others, which gen.
orally fooled the batsman inro hitting
at II In desperation. The Eext time
this same man came to the pate look
ing for more slow ones, Clarkson
would completely upset him with
speed and curves. In that way he had
his opponents completely mystified.
Keefe was almost Clarksons double,
and Welch was not far behind. Rad
bourne was another wonderfu! pitcher,
These men used science In preference
to brute strength, and as a result they
lasted longer than the averag. pitcher
of the present day.

The Gallant Seventh.
From the Tamaqua Courier.

From the Tamaqua Courier.
The action of the Captain Landon, OF
tho Seventh regiment, National Guards
of New York, in pledging, in speech
delivered in London last week, the
help of American arms in England
whenever they should be needed was
ludicrous and demonstrates that the
captain is indeed the verest kind OF an
arrogant nincompoop.
The gallant Seventh is an excellent
regiment, so far as holiday sodiery goes.
They appear in gaudy uniform bedeck-
ed with gold lace, but unfortunately the
dress does not make the soldier. When
the call for troops was made in the
opening of the Spanish war the heroic
Seventh, by dilly-dalying and squab-
ling, finally cooked up pretext for not
responding.
Looking at the matter impassionally
and without prejudice it does seem
JndJ IHc government was eSactlng Wncn
it ordained that the iaunty Seventh
would be compelled to associate with
other volunteer regiments made up
from men taken from all walks OF life.
1t was indeed rank presumption for
the government to infer that the gaudy
Seventh was not the superior OF all
other regiments. To be brief the
Seventh staid at home and their officers
led cotilions while the commanders OF
the despised volunteer regiments were
leading gallant charges.
And now when the war is over, when
the humliating possibility of associat-
ing with the common volunteer and in
cidentally the prospects OF facing bull
lets are removed, we find the gallant
Captain Landon pledging the help OF
American arms to England
The good people Of London before
placing any belief in Captain Landon's
assertion should carefully read up the
record of his gallant regiment

FREELAND, PA, JULY "a, 1899.


From a Wilkesbarre contemporary
the following news article has been
clipped, and we submit the views ex-
pressed therein to the people Of this
vicinity, believing that If the employers
OF labor hereabouts would take an in
terest in the subject at issue and regu-
late the working hours Of their employees
on the plan outlined in the article given
below, the question of proper observ-
ance of Sunday would soon disappear.
Rev. r. A McAndrews, rector OF st.
Marys church, Wikesbarre, spoke
briefly on Sunday on the proper OBJ
Servance on Sunday. He spoke against
boisterous pleasures such as Sunday
base ball, etc, which detract from the
sacred character and mar the feeling of
reverence for the day on which all
Christians should unite in consecreating
themselves to their Creator.
Father McAndrew said he also real
lied that the poor working people who
toll from morning until night six days
in the week could not be unduly con-
domned II they spent part of Sunday
in pleasure and recreation, and he be-
lievcd that Sunday would be more gem
orally observed in the proper spirit il
employers would give half holidays on
Saturday to their help.
He believed that such a plan would
be equally beneficial to employer and
employe, would beget more cordial
and liberal spirit and moro closely unite
their interests. Also that the holidays
would give the laboring people an OPP
portunity to enjoy amusement on Satur-
day, which they are now forced to look
for on Sunday.
The middle and better classes can
enjoy pleasures and amusement almost
any day during the week while the
poorer class have to work, and that on
Sunday while those more fortunate can
observe the Sabbath in its proper re-
ligious sense, they should not forget the
laboring class who have no other day of
recreation, and should endeavor to
make their lot more inviting by provid-
ing Saturday holidays. The Sunday
observance problem would then be easily
solved
