at the outset that they would so through into

Formosa they lie in wait for them. close to

was not won through absenteeism. The voice
of the nation was never more clearly expressed.
Looking beneath the surface, the vote OF 1904
is seen to be a thoroughly representative one,
and its decisive character cannot be DNittled
or explained away byiany suggestions of pop
ular apathy or Indifference.

HOW THE IRON MAN PITcHEs.


 McGinnity Tells of Some of His Curves. With the one idea ever in mind that the secret Of successful pitching Is to mix 'em up,'aI have always worked hard since have been pitching profes-
 sional ball to vary my style of delivery so as to fool the batter, or at least make his efforts to smash the ball a l little more difficult,''' says Joe McGinni- ty, the great pitcher of the New York Nationals. in the Sunday World. He goes on: That is why I have worked steadily for five years to perfect my raise ball, affectionately called Old Sal' by the Giants.
 Billy Rhfnes, of the Cincinnati club, was the first pitcher ever saw use the raise ball. He could throw the ball with considerable speed, but could not. or rather did not, try to curve it. Af- ter many months of practice, was able to pitch the raise ball with curve, and good judges of the game have giv- en me credit for making good use of
 my knowledge.
 'sThe ball I have found very effec- tive this season can be called a cross fire curve. There have been many
 pitchers with a good cross fire delivery,
 but I don't know of any that used a
 curve with it. I have always thought that to add curve to the cross fire
 would be just what was needed to stop batsman from placing the ball. All
 players like to hit to right field, partic-
 ularly when there are men on the bases. A nice single to right, with a man on first, makes it almost sure for the man on the base to reach third. The batter also has an excellent chance of reaching second if a play is made on the preceding runner.
 "Just to fool the right field hitters, if possible, worked all last winter to de- velop a cross-fire curve. I tried it last season on several occasions, and 1 was satisfied I could control the pitch with sufficient practice. may say the re- suit of my work so far is up to my hopes.
 ITO deliver this ball I step to the ex- treme right of the pitchrs. box, of course, keeping one foot on the rubber, according to the rules. then send the ball to the batter with a wide out curve. By the time it reaches the plate l it appears almost as though the third baseman had thrown the ball. It is nearly impossible for a batsman to turn that ball into safe right field hit He is more apt to bang it along the third base line. never pitch bal

but the fielder knows what is coming. Therefore, if things work right, they have great chance of being about
 where the ball is hit to.
 II said if things come right That is ohe of the great secrets of any suc- cess a pitcher may achieve. We all get
 our bumps, and get them good and plenty As for myself, I mean to keep on working all the time to prepare for new conditions. I will say right now
 that I will spring a new one on the boys next summer. worked at it all winter and will do so next winter when I get to my home in the Indian Terri- tory.
 T have been frequently asked this
 season whether I am hampered in my
 work by the strict enforcement of the balk rule. To a certain extent am; that is, when there are runners on the bases. At that I have not found it a hardship. I understand some of the pitchers complain the rule has hurt them in their delivery. am not com laining, and am perfectly willing to take my chance with the others. If the rule helps the base runners in other |clubs it will also help the men on our team. And I think everybody will ad- init the Giants are in the game with any of them when it comes to running the bases.
 tThe balk rule is supposed to help in the hit-and-run game. That is up to l the pitcher and catcher. There is near ly always some way to get wise when the hit-and-run game is to be played. Both batsnan and runner are anxious

 of gasolene in the tank of his machine
 was rather low and accordingly ran it into Reichert's station on Temple i street and replenishing the supply. This had been accomplished, and shortly after ' o'clock MT. Mertz came out Of the station with the auto just ill time to cross the tracks of the Fair Haven road in front of a trolley car, also bound for West Haven and the

Where Trees Grow Fast.

A tree which grew nearly twenty
feet in a year and a half has been
taken from the experiment station in
Santa Monica canyon to the worlds
fair to show what California can dc
in hurry for place in the shade.
1t is a variety of the eucalyptus. A
small grove of these trees was planted
on shaggy cliff back of the expert.
ment station, where it seemed as
though no tree could grow at all.
When this particular tree was about
year and half old it measured four
inches in diameter. In order to get 1t
safely to the fair the whole tree was
carefully packed in MOSES and soaked
cloths.
One of the most interesting features
OF the work of the station is importing
trees from foreign countries and try
ing them in California soil and eli.
matte conditions. First one soil and
then another is tried until congenial
one is found.
One Of the additions to the Cali.

the most beautiful trees in the world

Eddie FoY and the Baby.

Next to Eddie Foy on street car a
bit OF an infant in it's mothers arms
was screaming with all its tiny might.
The tiny might with which 1t
screamed drowned the roar of a fiat
wheel.
The mother tried to quiet the vocal
cyclone with bottle and by talking
but the mite was too busy making
noises with its mouth to use it on the
bottle and couldn't hear a word of the
talk.
Suddenly Foy waved his hand.
The shiny. little, distorted red face
relaxed. Two big, blue moons sailed
out from a cloud. They shone lam.
bently on Foy.
"Goo!"
People began to laugh, and the fem.
mine contingent looked admiringly at
Foy.
In the midst of the laughter the in.
FAINT was beginning again.
'Hush!" cautioned Foy, excitedly, to
the passengers. I've got it bluffed."
Once more Foy executed his magic
gesture. The squall got worse.
Finally Foy desisted. He whispered:
