No New Curves.

Every curve and shoot known TO the
best pitchers OF the present day was
known 10 the pitchers passed out Of the
profession, for nothing new has been
discovered for several years Even the
fade-away and the spit ball were used
at least a dozen years ago and kept
secret by men who discovered them.
The old pitchers had a splendid chance
TO experiment, as they were IN the box
daily. and often were against weak
clubs. for leagues were not rounded
out gs az the present time, having
every position filled by a hrst-class
man. From present indications the six
greatest pitchers the game has pro-
duced are Matthewson. Cy Young,
Rusie. Nichols. Clarkson and Tim
Keefe. Other pitchers have outshown
any of these men for a season. but
were usually soon out Of the running.

The trouble between Ban Johnson,
president of the American league, and
Charles Comiskey, president Of the
Chicago Americans, threatens to be-
come a factional baseball war Of SEN
Bational proportions. At present both
Of these prominent ball dictators have
quieted down, but no one can tell when
the fray will break out with renewed

Comiskeys direct allegation has been
that Johnson is conniving with Presi-

cdlIsns Bred Professionals.

It has only been within the past few
years that college baseball has been look
ed upon with any favor by professional
managers. A decade ago the National
League magnates laughed at the idea OF
college men breaking into fast company,
but today the man with an education is
greatly sought after.
This is an indication OF two things
that the tone OF professional baseball has
improved. and that the standard Of col
lege sport is higher than it once was.
Many good players have been developed
in the colleges and as they are easy to
handle and learn the points Of the game
quickly they make very valuable men.

BOWLING BALLS
Some Made Now Of Rubber and Other
Woods Besides Lisnumvitae.

Woods Besides LignumvItae.
with the great increase in the number
Of women bowlers in recent years came
a demand for bowling balls lighter than
those of lignumvitae. one Of the woods
used for this purpose is called sappacue'
and comes from Cuba. Rosewood is now
also OCCASIONALLY used and so is mahog-
any.
Formerly all bowling balls were made
without finger holes. Now it is common to
make them with finger holes Some
bowlers prefer only two finger holes, one
for the thumb and another for one finger.
Other balls are made with an opening
large enough TO accommodate all the
fingers, such being called slot balls.
Bowling balls are sometimes covered
with rubber, as are also, where such balls
are used, the pins. This arrangement
makes the game less noisy.
There is now made a solid hard rubber
bowling ball that is asserted to possess
extraordinary merits II is said it will
outwear many wooden balls and remains
always true in shape.
A regulation lignumvltae ball costs
about s., solid hard rubber bowling ball
Of regulation size and weight costs $50.

Knowing that the baseball lovers OF this

shot air. reports about what the different
club owners and managers have been say
ing about putting clubs I'm pittsburg and
Youngstown and also about going under
the national agreement. the Sporting
Editor Of The Evening journal, wanting
10 give the local fans facts. wrote each
manager letter asking him his position
I'm the matter. Two letters were received
shis morning and are as follows;

Sporting Editor Evening Journal.
Dear sir:-I have nothing to say on the
piusburg and Youngstown matter al
present OF course II the proper grounds
an Pittsburg are secured the club would
be great thing for the Tri-state for il
would not only bo a monoy-maker itself
with non-eonnicting dates, but It would
also pay large percentages TO the visiting
teams and in this manner assist ably ln
maintaining the league.

rd ON an amicablo basis. IL this league Is
allowed to retain an of last years players
together with those already signed FOR
next season, and The blacklist is lifted OF

vote in favor of the league accepting

James A. Blough.
Secretary Johnstown Baseball Association.
York. Pa. Dec l6.
Sporting Editor Evening journal.
Dear sir:-I received your letter and am
at all times glad to give you what infor-
mation may have. Now as to my per-
sonal reason for NOT admitting Pittsburg.
It would be a big undertaking. If they
were successful am sure the other teams
would have to outlay considerable money
20 compete with them. on the other hand,
n it was a failure i don't think they
would stand to loose a cent and the Tri-
State could look out for itself There is
no personal pride in a Tri-state team in
Pittsburg. Youngstown would be a good
town but It is out OF the question with
out Pittsburg.
In reference TO protection ] can say 70
you that ! have just returned from a
three days meeting in New York and we
rannot set protection that would be satis-
factory 10 any one. Tho National Associa-
lion is inclined to fight us instead Of OFFER
ing us protection. In fact. j don't believe
we could get protection unless we would
be willing to return all our men where
they belong and that would include %
out Of 100 men. / am not in favor OF pro
tection OF this kind 1 always was a
strong advocate FOR protection.
have seen several reports about drop-
ping Wilmington. can say that Whining
ton viii have my support and 1 don't see
how they can throw it out as our Western
people think. I will vote and do an / can
for Wilmington for with a good team I
am sure could make some good money In
your city, one Of the lnrgest in our circuit.
This is only my opinion. but hope to see
Wilmington in our circuit Yours.

MoRTUARlEs AT MOSCOW FILLED
WITH DEAD AND WOUNDED
OVERFLOW HOSPITALS.
REBELS ABANDON PRINCIPAL STREET
CONCENTRATE FORCES IN LOCAL
TIES WHERE ARTILLERY IS
DIFFICULT TO USE.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-The days
fighting at Moscow occurred mostly at
some distance from the center of the
city. The reyolutionists abandoned
the Tverskaia thoroughfare, as it is
too easily swept by artillery, and con-
centrated their forces in the narrow
winding streets Of the commercial
quarter, where the shops were closed
and occupied by the military.
The mortuaries at Moscow are filled
with the dead, the hospitals are un-
able to find room for the wounded and
many private houses are filled with
wounded persons.
The militia organized by Governor
General Doubassoff has commenced
Its duties under the direction OF the
police. Many houses and other build
ings from which the revolutionists
brew bombs were demolished by the
artillery.
The numerous fires which occurred
ut different points throughout Moscow
lit up the whole sky at night.
The governor general has ordered
that all doors be kept closed. Any in
fraction Of this order will be followed
by fine of $1,000 or three months
Imprisonment in the fortress. The
same penalty was imposed on all occu-
pants of houses in which arms are
found.

San Domingo, Dec. 27.-Fouowing

Of the republic, General Carlos F. Mo.

known destination troops were sent in
pursuit OF. the ahief magistrate What
took place after that cannot Ee def.
nitely determined, but tits knovsa that
q fight took place about ten miles from
here and it is supposed that General
Pimentel, the rebel commander, was
attacked by government troops.
The whereabouts of the fugitive
president is not known. It is generally
supposed that he endeavored to gain
the coast and embark on board a sloop
with the object of reaching Puerto
Plata, on the north coast of Santo Do
mingo, and there join Governor Perez,
who has been dismissed by the gov
ernment from the post of governor OF
Puerto Plata but who refuses to sur
render his office. On the other hand
there are those who believe that the
president is endeavoring to cross San
to Domingo by land and reach Monte
Cristi, on the north coast and west OF
Puerto Plata, from which port it is not
far distant. ~

New York, Dec. 27.-City Comptrol-
ler Grout, who is also member OF
the rapid transit commission, made a
statement in which he said that the
organization of the Ryan-Belmont trac-
tion syndicate would not permit inde-
pendent bids for the system OF sub
ways in contemplation by the city. He
predicted that before three weeks are
past an independent corporation will
be formed to bid upon new routes laid
out by the rapid transit commission.
II should regard the monopoly OF all
surface, elevated and subway trans
portation as abaneful and threatening
for the city," he said. IF unchecked
it means only such additional subways
as Mr.. Belmont may desire and on
Mr.. Belmont's own terms. Such a
monopoly means that New York must
travel as Mr.. Belmont desires-as all
railroad men, seem to desire-in cars
crowded to the utmost and without
any chance Of relief from competing
lines" ~ .,-..
