Odds and Ends.

Even a golden vessel cannot make a
smooth sea.
If the Sinless knew sorrow shall the
sinful escape?
The branch that bends lowest pears

You must either flee from Egypt or

Circumstances may abase, but only
sin can debase-you.

the nine men working in the shaft
attempted to come out. Before they

MATTY HAS SPEED TO BURN.

AS the fans we'll know. "Mauy' has speed to burn when delivering the
ball, and with it a most deceptive drop, which eludes the batter's attemp
to hit II OF the nose in a most tantalizing manner.
The big twfrler in 1902 worked this particular curve with success 81
often that he won game after game for the Giants. Last year Mathewsos
worked the sam curve with success many times, but not a few OF the
heavy hitters in the League got the hang of his pet drop and lined thu
leather safely to the outheld.
Try as he would, Matty could not deceive certain players with this par
tcuar ball. He wa not long, however, in discovering the secret o
their success in measuring his delivery.

my curves and to study the batsman and what ball suits him best.
