Argenta Club Entertainment.

The various committees appointed
by the president of the Argenta club
are working hard to make this, their
first benefit entertainment given on
February 18th, one grand success.
From the program already arranged
we r assured that nothing be-
fore given in Tonopah will equal it..
Every member of the club is inter
ested, and considering the fact that
the entire proceeds go towards the
piano fund for the public school, the
parents and all other citizens should
help make it the grandest success of
its kind. Tickets are o on sale.
The arrangement of seats is in
experienced hands and no mistake
will be made in seating the audience.

Sam Davis, Fortune.

State Controller S. P. Davis bids
fair to come in for a slice of the estate
left by the late Nanny Pleasance.
1t appears that some years ago she
made a deed of a lot on Octavia
street in San Francisco to Messrs.
Bell and Davis. This lot comprises
the bulk Of her estate, and as the
San Francisco papers estimate her
property to be worth $50, 600, just
how rich Mr.. Davis will be made re-
mains to be seen. Undoubtedly it
will net a very comfortable sum.

Queer Mechanical Device Came With Sam Crane

a twisting or rotary movement. By
shifting the breech cap about on its
axis the various curves are produced.
When the cap occupies one position the
ball is given an over twist from left
to right, and an i'm curve for a right
handed batter is produced. When the
position is shifted in the arc of 80
degrees an "out" curve may be thrown.
BY shifting the cap 80 degrees from
the first position the ball can be made
10 rise at least foot, and by turning
the cap $50 degrees from the position
in which the rising ball is thrown
to. the "out-drop," which is used with
much effect by pitchers. is produced.
1t has been demonstrated by actual
test that an in or 'tout" curve of
four feet can be produced by a simple
manipula ton of the curving device.
Mr. Lake does not suppose that his
invention will supplant the regular
pitching in professional games. He
merely suggests that it will give them
much needed relief during practice and
allow the batters to get in some strong
work during preliminary games.
When the machine was carted past
the hotel yesterday group of players
on the Giants peered curiously at it,
and Dummy Taylor seemed to regard
it as an Internal machine. Bowerman
and Warner both said that they would
not catch it. The machine is now be-
ing used by Cleveland and Washington
clubs.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-10

The new pitching machine which
Sam Crane will engineer, was unload
ed yesterday afternoon, and will be
used for the first time to-day at the
Bolton Street Park. The inventor of
the pneumatic pitcher is R. Howard
Lake of Washington, d. c.
The machine consists of a tube about
thirty-six inches long, a trifie larger
than a baseball in diameter, and
mounted on a stand in such a manner
that it can be pointed to right or
left or up and down.
The rear end of the tube is fitted
with a breach cap. and it is by this
means that the ball is curved in any
direction the operator may desire.
Compressed air is supplied from a
storage tank, having a capacity of
three hours, and the amount of the
air pressure used for each ball pitch
ed, which varies from nine to four
teen pounds per square inch, deter
mines the speed of the ball. The COM
pressed air can also be supplied from
small pump operated either by a
light engine or hand power one man
can easily keep up the required pres
sure.
The curve is impaired to the ball
by means of a device associated with
the breech cap. which gives the ball

distance below the stand, and he pulled
up when he got to the stand. Before
he found his mistake Littlefield had
shot TERRIER to the front, and won by
a scant half length from the Dwyer
horse.
Hamilton also rode Kingston in tho
Ocean Stakes, when he was defeated by
Tenny, with Barnes in the saddle.
Later, in a match Longstreet, cleverly
handled by Hamilton. wiped out the
defeat of his stable mate by handily
disposing of the great Tenny in a mile
and a quarter race. Some of his latest
engagements in America were with 0.

Pierre Lorillard In all his riding,
however, he realized that it was to Will
liam Lakeland that he owed much of
his success, and his first employer gen
orally had the call on his best efforts,
unless contract arrangement inter-
fered.
Hamilton, about four years ago, was
one of the American jockeys to go to
Russia, and his victory in the Warsaw
Derby at once made him tremendously
popular in the land of the Gear.

The racing stable of the late Will
liam c. Whitney has been leased by
the executor of the estate, Harry
Payne Whitney to H. B. Duryea of
Wheatley Halls, Long Island, and, by
him, will be run during 1904.
The lease was executed some days
ago and has been filed with the New
York Jockey Club. The entire stable
of horses in training was taken over
together with all their engagements.
John w. Rogers will be continued as
trainer.
Mr.. Duryea is also partner in the
Westbury stable and races Acefull and
one or two other horses in his own
right. Acefull is now being trained by
Lew Elmore and Whorler by John e.
Madden. Though the entries made by
the late William c. Whitney in the
stakes which closed in January last
may be declared void, the horses yet
have opportunity to be engaged in all
futures in which supplementary en-
tries may be made, and as well, are
eligible in all produce races and in
all futures in which foal entries were
made prior to Dec. IL, 1902, the date
of the new regulation of the Jockey
Club governing the same. This would
make the nominations for such stakes
as the Belmont and the Realization,
the Futurity. the National Stallion, the
Matron, the Brighton Produce and like
futures, nominations to which had
been made prior to that time, eligible.
1t therefore will be seen that, while
the nominations for some of the big
spring handicaps have been made void,
entries for many of the great classics
remain in good standing.
Jockey Willie Shaw will do the rid
ing for the stable. providing that his
application for a license shall be pass
ed upon more favorably by the stew
ards of the Jockey Club.
Mr.. Duryea has been the racing
partner of Harry Payne Whitney for
with him in Irish Lad, Whorler and
other horses. Acefull was owned in
partnership also until he went to Eng
land with the Derby in view, when
Harry Payne Whitney ceased to have
any proprietary interest in the colt.

However great may be a ball player

fame without the aid of the men who
chronicle the daily doings of the hit

as to the merits OF the players them
