ter-How Fares the Referendum

ter How Fares the Referendum !
EDITOR TINES
Al this time when there are petit
tions in circulation to invoke the
referendum, to defeat the general
appropriation bill passed in the last
legislature, 1t certainly behooves
the voter of the state Of Oregon toI
stop and consider.
We shall not attempt to excuse
the members of the legislature, but
we hope to fix at least a part of the
responsibility where it rightly be-
longs. AS the TIMES suggested
some time ago, the usefulness of
this great power of the people de-
pends largely upon the intelligence
with which it is exercised by the
voters of the state.
What is this monster which the
tax payers of the state are so anx-
ious to knock on the bead with
their great constitutional club? Is
it not grand aggregate of what we
demanded of our representatives
and senators when we sent them to
the Legislature? What locality or
county is it that does not only ex-
pect but frequently demands of
their representatives that they get
their hand as deep into the public
crib as possible? And if they fail
to do SO they thus dig their politic-
al grave.
| Of course the part of the great
bill which we consider "graft" is
what the other fellow gets not what
we get for our share. But what do
we hope to gain by invoking the
referendum? All the institutions
provided for, are in accord with the
law and their expenses must be
paid. If we kill the present bill
we will have to take the dose in
double quantity later on. The
proper course is to take the Orego.
mans advice and initiate at least
two laws-frst to eliminate the nor
NAL school proposition, and second,
to adopt a measure providing for
the governor TO veto individual
items of the general appropriation
bill. We blame the legislature De-
cause they do. not pass these laws,
but they cannot do this and at the
same time secure the part of the
"grait" which their constituents
have demanded that they secure.

i all the normal schools to be cut out

Chicago, April 1A-"Jack" Sheridan,
generally regarded as the American
Leagues best umpire, stood with a
friend watching the white sox pitchers
throwing to the batsmen yesterday aft
ernoon at the South Side ball park
"Boy Wonder" Patterson was on the
slab, n as he served up a fast one
which a batter missed by a foot the
friend turned to jack In surprise and
said: Did you see that drop2"
II certainly did" said the veteran
umpire, that was g. spit ball. the
greatest discovery of a pitchers genius
and the thing that is going to revolu-
tionize baseball"
why, L always thought the spit ball
was all talk"

arbitrator, but there is no joking
about the ball. 1t is a reality and a
mystery which is giving batsmen great
trouble. Every high class pitcher is
practicfng with the new invention.
Some have mastered it and those that
are not working with it are behind the
times"
The friend became curious and want
ed to know the secret of throwing the
bali. There is no great secret to it.,
explained Sheridan, except 10 mOlSLen
the bah and throw it with all possible
speed. To control the slippery bah is,
of course, h great difficulty. Last
year the only pitchers using the bail

trouble with the ball, nobody knows

New York, April Alt would be i'm
possible for me. says Matthewson, or any
other pitcher for that matter. to say
which bail he pitches most. There are
certain conditions which regulate the balls
that are delivered to batsmen.
knowledge of batsmen and their sup
posed weakness is essential in the sue
cess of any twirler. It is necessary for
me pltcner 10 learn, II possible which
balls batsnen are least likely to hit.
Some batsmen will kill a fast, straight
bail, while Others have shown that speed
is not to their liking. Other will knock
slow curves out Of the field. while some
are partial to low or high balls.
Pitchers try to discover and remember
the pronounced weakness OF. batsmen.
This, Of course, requires a good nc
but when a pitcher has faced a batsman
q number of times he learns what the man
at the plate is most likely to hit.
The sO-caIled spit BALI which I nave
been practicing IS most effective. No one
can deny that. but it is also uncertain.

This opinion is based upon what they

The fast, straight ball which many

it is denominated q jumping ball.
