The "spit ball" trick consists in
wetting one portion of the ball, usually
along the seam, so as to make the ball
" hang" when it leaves the fingers.
Years ago the same trick was played
by two pitchers, to my knowledge, but
in both cases they depended on rubbing
a little chewing gum along the scam
of the ball.

This trick became common. Many
managers bept a lot Of frozen balls on
the bench, and when their team was
ahead they would throw out the dead

A frozen ball is no harder to pitch than
a live one, but when it is hit it simply
fails TO respond to the bat.

A Delta Doctor For Him.

Jasper Japsen, employed at the Rev
enue Tunnel Mines near Ouray, came to
Delta Wednesday and all because he
wanted DR.. Burgin to treat very sore
hand that is troubling him at present.
Japsen was in Delta sick with the ty-
phoid fever last winter and the treat
ment he was receiving at Ouray for his
hand not pleasing him, he decided that
DR.. Burgin would be his only salvation.
So he is here and will stay, so he says,
until he can go back to work. Mr.. Jap
sen received his present injuries at the
fire in the Revenue shaft some weeks

silent getaway Tuesday night. En-
trusting his belongings to one who was
leaving for the west on the same train
and inducing friend to buy ticket

Opinions Differ.

That two men do not always think
alike was most emphatically proven
last Monday afternoon when George
Deter and Rev. Fish, the Baptist min
ister, engaged in an alteration and
argument on Main Street. Both gen.
tlemen had recently attended the con-
vention of the Business Men No Saloon
Party and the difference of opinion
arose in regard to matters discussed at
that gathering. Mr.. Deter censured
Mr.. Fish for engaging in such a vindic-
ative manner about who should control
the government of the town, saying
that Mr.. Fish was not much Of tax
payer. The i'll feeling probably emina-
ted from remark made by Mr.. Deter
in the convention in which he referred
to man who had come to Delta with
a carpet bag" and still had little else
but was nevertheless cndeavoring to
have much to say in regard to whom
should control the management of the
finances of the town.
At any rate the argument caused
quite little merriment for large
crowd of bystanders, and the emphatic
manner in which Mr.. Deter expressed
himself and the composed mein of Mr..
Fish were at great variance. The af-
fair was quite democratic.

EsyEKDAr,s STOCK MARKET
Follows About Same Course as the Day
 Before.

New York, April 1.-The market for stocks followed about the same course to-day as yesterday. The early ad- vance appeared to be in the nature of testing operations and the indifference of the outside response to this proved so far disappointing to the professional element, which was responsible for the movement, that they retreated very generally from their position and re- sold their takings.
 The softening of our own money mar ket was so pronounced as to lessen the attraction for securing additional gold. The efficacy of the measure adopted by the United States treasury to encour- age gold imports in breaking the strln- gency of the money market was, there fore, beyond question, although the criticism was heard that it was possible for foreign money markets to adopt protective measures for the gold sup ply. The indifference of the stock mar ket to the ease of the money market is due to the feeling that other needs re- main to be supplied before it will be wise to embark large credits in specu- lative commitments. Easier money is looked for furthering the Notation of the securities which has been withheld

 The attempt to put up prices of stocks also met with more immediate obstruc- tion in the form of large offerings, the source of which left room for the sus- picion that liquidation of long holdings was in progress. Reading suffered something from the uncertainty over the anthracite labor outlook and from the reports of riotous outbreaks iii the coal regions. Pennsylvania, on the con- trary, was conspicuously strong, al- though this was accompanied by con- tin'dal feeding out of the convertible bonds of the company.
