HOW THE PIECE CLUB
ENDORSED BROW


The ten-member piece club known as
the Good Government Club and pre-
sided over by Paddy Ryan had little
meeting the other day to name the
candidates who We're to receive their
support in the coming election.
Paddy and four others constituted a
quorum for the transaction of business
and everything Went swimmfngly until
the names of the Senators were reach
ed. Then Harvey and Waller We're un-
hesitatingly endorsed, but when the
name of Cecil Brown was proposed
three of the members objected to en-
dorsing him on the ground that he en-
ployed Japanese and that he had pro-
claimed himself as a Republican and
was making his canvass on that basis.
The matter was put to a vote with a
prospect of Brown getting left, three
to two, but President Paddy, equal to
the occasion, produced from the depths
of his pockets the proxies of the five
absent members, casting them solidIy
for Brown, whose name appears with
the Others as a regularly endorsed can
didate Of the club.

MAINE WOMAN IS
WONDERFUL ATHLETE

(The Illustrated Sporting News)
Maine possesses a sportswOman in
the person OF Miss Ethel NJ. Russell, of
Augusta, Me, who is in many ways
without a peer. says the san Fran
cisco Bulletin. First and foremost,
she is thoroughly acquainted with the
national game and cannot only score a
contest perfectly, but tell all the fine
points when the players should steal,
whether it is the proper thing to -sacri-
fee or line out a hit. Miss Russell is
a splendid type Of outing girl-tsH,
well proportional. standing feet 90
inches in her stocking feet and TIPS the
scales at 155 pounds. She was gTadu-
ated from Colby in the class Of 1900.
While in college Miss Russell was cap
tain for two Years and the strongest
player Of the basketball team and was
prominent in other sports as well.
When croquet was enjoying its
greatest popularity, this remarka bic
Maine girl won tournament after
tournament. She is a clever handler
OF pair Of oars and often rows eight
or nine miles at a time. As a baseball
player she stands pre-eminent; a few
years ago she organized a woman's
baseball club in her birthplace. Weld,
Me, which was very successful. Miss
Russell went behind the bat and
caught a good game throughout the
clubs existence, her throwing to Sec
ond making her the terror of would
be base-steslers. Billiard and pool
playing are also on this wOman's list
of accomplishments and she has put
TO shame many a bOastful masculine
weilder of the cue when it came to a
question Of pocketing the ivory balls
or making difficult car0ms or nasse
shots. Miss Russell also plays tennis
and some years ago kept her antagon-
lists busy. Of late years she has taken
up golf.
As a pedestrian she has considerable
ability, thinking nothing of walking
ten or twelve miles. She is a rapid
walker and few, unaccustOmed to long
tTamps, can keep Up with her. This
twentieth century outing girl can also
box cleverly. give and take punish
ment, climbs the mountains near her
home. goes snow-shoeing for long
tramps. and, in fact, does most every
thing that can possibly appeal TO an
athletically ambitious young woman.
She was trained and educated as a
school teacher, which calling she has
practiced successfully. her control of

WHY BASEBALL CURVES
Phenomenon Caused by Loss
of Speed From Atmos-
pheriC Pressure.

It is now thirty-three years since the
question arose as TO whether or not a
baseball thrown from the hand could
be made to deviate horizontally from a
straight line. Experiment proved that
the flight of a ball could be made to
curve to the right or TO the left by skill
ful pitching. This was accomplished by
the simple expedient Of placing plank
upright on the ground, and, from q
point at right angle TO the middle Of
one of its broad sides, twirling a bail
To a point back of the center of the
plank. Since then it is accepted as fact
by all baseball players that the fight
OF ball can also. under fine handling
BE- made TO incurve abnormally down
ward or upward with reference to its
landing place; that is, either in the di-
rection Of or contrary to the attraction
OF gravitation.
The period mentioned was in the in
fancy of skilled baseball playing. Since
then a generation of players of the
game has grown up. and the constant
repetition Of the phenomenon men
toned has incurve at the plate that
he can accomplish with his '.inshoot-"
The reason is that although in each
case the speed of the ball Tor out
shoot and ''iRshoot''' is the same, the
speed of its rotation is very different.
The centrifugal rotary force impressed
by the pitcher upon the ball opposed
by the friction of the atmosphere,
packed by the balls rapid duplex
movement. being weaker in the in
shoot than in the "'outshoOt," per-
mits Of less curvature there in the
balls flight than IS possible IL the
'outshOot" In all cases the ball makes
its incurve at right or left, or vertical
~. from above or below. because fric-
ton Of the atmosphere. compressed by
the balls combined velocity and speed
OF rotation retards and finally exhausts
its movement of rotation at the end Of
its flight. The two movements of ~
ball and the resistance of the atmos-
phere, forming together three COM
pounded forces. compel the fight Of
the ball to assume the form of a curve.
As the ball leaves the hand of the pit
cher it whirls onward until. the quick
ness of its rotation being diminished
by friction on its surface from the at
mOsphere. and thereby weakened it
curves either upward. inward or from
right or left with reference to the
plate" Of the baseball field.

WHISPERS IN BASEBALL

and TIE game looked a lead pipe cinch
for the Lilies. The Infrmaries had
two men on bases. but the score stood

there were two strikes and no balls on

That put tie Lilies in a quandary.
They didn't so much mind losing a.

prevent the same thing from happen
ing in the big championship contest
with the Ringtau Roarers? Dean Bra
ley said he couldn't give up the occa-
siOnal use of chewing gam on the ball
at that stage It would simply ruin TIE
effectiveness of his delivery.
1t was Esau himself who finally
solved the problem. He appeared on
the field in the RoareTs game with his
whiskers snugly encased in a freshly
laundered pillow slip, and so success
full did this continuance prove as a
safeguard against foul tips that before
the season was out every catcher in

And that, sir. to the best of my
