The golfers are already rounding into
form for the summer. Many prominent
players are engaging in tournaments
at the various southern resorts in order
to work the kinks from their muscles
and the cobwebs from their eyes. Flor
ida links are drawing their customary
quota of stick wielders, and good scores
have been made at Jacksonville. Palm
Beach and Tampa.
Now that the tournament dates for
the coming season have been an
nounced, the golfers are mapping out
their campaigns. The ancient Scotch
game promises to be immensely popu-
lar. and more than thirty important
meetings in which national celebrities
will appear have been announced.
Should the British intercollegiate
team come over this list will be aug

ranged are the following

BALL PITCHING MACHINE

Remarkably ingenious is the mechan-
zeal baseball pitcher. It is a machine
that throws balls at suitable intervals
IN succession to a batsman, who takes
his place at the proper distance away.
Special arrangements are embodied
in the device which enable it to deIiv-
er the balls at the height desired by the
batter and to recover them promptly in
order to throw them again.
The machine is placed at one end Of a
small building. the sides of which are
of wire net, SO that people may look
through, while the ends and the roof are
Of wood. A motor causes a wheel to re-
volve by means of a belt and thus actu-
ates powerful spring, which holds a
small cup at its extremity. The balls
run along a shoot and drop into the cup
one after another, whence they are dis
charged at intervals of fifteen seconds.
The batsman strikes at them as fast
as they are thrown at him. But wheth-
er he nits them or not the balls roll
back to a point behind the machine
thanks to an arrangement of slants in
the floor. At the point where the slants
meet the balls are taken up by the ma
chine and carried along the shoot to the
cup. thus continuing the pitching in
definitely.
