 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
ANOTHER PLAYER PASSES.

Men may come and men may go, but Tennyson's brook and Byron's ocean alone go on forever. Hence it is the time has come almost to the passing of Jake Beckley.
 Old Ginger Jake has had several passings. He passed from Pittsburg years and years ago to New York, which dropped him soon. Cincinnati reached for him. He made a guod first sacker for the Reds for years and years until he fell to Sa. Louis in the war days of 1902.
 Old Jake has been a good man for St. Louis, too. Never a clever ball player, he has always been full of life, energy and spirit.
 A good mar kto throw at and a good man to hit-that is, until this year-he has always been a favorite with the people. His work hard, hustle all | the time. Come on. Come on," may not play much ball, but it makes a hit with the spectators. But it seems | that he can not go on forever. Jake | is Al years old.
 l He was born in Hannibal, Mo, Au gust IA, 1865. He has been playing
 big baseball-that is, in the prominent leagues-for twenty-one years. He l became famous at Hannibal as a hit
 ter in 1884. He played in the west
 in 1885, and with the Whites of St
 Louis in 1886. Thence he went tc Pittsburg, where he stayed to 1897. Thence he went to New York for g
 season, thence to Cincinnati for sia
 seasons, and thence to St. Louis fol four. Now it is said that Old Jake is
 aging, not hitting, and becoming shy
 of the fly ball. McCloskey is looking ! for new first baseman.
 He put Noonan in on July f, and sent
 after big youth, James, of California
 whom he had in the fall and spring tc play the bag. It is also said that ht has made overtures to McAleer fol

SPORTS
SLANG OF DIAMOND
 A COMPLETE LANGUAGE.

Baseball is one of the liveliest Ian
 guages in the world today Compared
 to it golf, horseracing, circus and rail road are expressionless, and theApnfy
 one of the undictionaried languages
 that approaches 1t in richness of ex-
 pression in terseness and point is skat, which. however, is more limited, says an eastern writer. The men who write
 and talk baseball stop at nothing. They follow Prof. Brander Matthews theory that the best language is that which covers the meaning most
 clearly, and they adapt from English
 French, German, Chinese and other languages, and when these fail to fit the occasion they invent a word. Every one who knows baseball knows exactly what they mean no matter what they say or write and regardless of the fact that Noah Webster might scratch his head Ia week trying to think what they
 meant. Even the "Jones flew. Smith biffed, Brown skied" school of litera- ture occasionally have added some thing to tEe language of the game by coining an apt word.
 Once upon time there was ou;, of those gems of purest serene. hidden down in the deep, dark caves of ocean or to be less poetic. at Quincy. III. who made language while you wanted. An abstract from his classic report of a baseball game between Quincy and Omaha, read something like this: The glass-armed tov soldiers who represent the Gem city in the reckless rush for the baseball pennant were fed to the pigs yesterday by the cadaverous h. d'sn grave robbers from Omaha.
 '"They stood around with gaping eyes like hen on hot nail. while the basilisk-eyed cattle drivers from the vest ran bases till their tongues were long with thirst. Hickey had more errors than Coins Financial School The Omaha hogs were bad enough but the home team couldn't have fallen out of boat and hit the water"
 Joe Campbell of Washington really was the Shakespeare of baseball. He wrote classics, and probably was the best story writer of the "Jem Mace told the writer" school that ever hap pened. He would have said ''Rameses II told the writer" if old Ram had been in the sporting game. Campbell real ly was wonder. He was one of the cleverest dramatic critics in the coun- try. Shakespearean scholar, a deep student of stage history. a Hebrew and Sanskrit scholar. besides writing the baseball of the century.

 Coaches
Courtney and Moakiey Responsible For Vide Athletic Prominence cf Ithaca Institntion ---J. H. GarreB, Michigan $ RedOubtabie Star.

The present sensational prominence of Cornell university in the athletic world Is due primarily to her two great trainers and coaches, Charles Courtney, the rowing instructor, and Jack Moakley, generalissimo of the track team.
 The victory of two of the Cornell crews at the recent annual intercolle-

 Between the two trainers of Cornell there is wide line of personality.
 Courtney is no angel to get along with He never minces words.
 A failure to do ones duty is an un- pardonable sin in his eyes.
 He has taken men out of the boat and crew on mere suspicion of derelic- ton in duty. His anger is the equal of a Chinese typhoon. But he is always fair.
 Moakley, on the other hand, is slow to decision, but quick to act when his mind is made up. And, like Courtney, i be is firm in bis resolves. The law of either Is absolute. That is why Cornell wins.
 Moakley started in at the bottom of the scale at Cornell in 1S00 and with his usual sagacity he took up the branch he could do most with at the | beglnning-that is. distance running. sHe knew it woIld take years to de- veIop an all round team, but if he 1 could turn out a high class squad of distance runners who would attract attention in the long races, where tine ofh seemed at that time to be most keen, It would be possible to attract more at | tention to the other branches of track work.
 Moakley, however, built up his team | in spite of all difficulties and has an all round, well balanced bunch of track athletes at Cornell that look good to win the intercoIlegiates for a couple of years to come-next year at any rate. | Of the thirteen men who totaled 3S | points in this years intercollegiate | meet not one was prep. school star and with the exception of Philips and Jackson in the pole vault.

HOW TO PITCH CURVES.
Expert Describes Execution of Lead
 ing TwirifnE Twists-


 A well known National league pitch CT describes the delivery of various curves as follows:
 The ilcurve is pitched with a side arm motion. the bah being released over the tips of the first two fingers, the arm be ing swept around with a lateral motion Some pitchers throw an .incurve by grasping the ball with all four fingers and permitting it to slip over the tips. The outcurve is produced usually by grasping the ball with the first two fin- gers and the thumb with the back of the hand turned downward. The fingers are pressed firmly against the ball, which iz gripped tight.
 When delivering the spit ball the first and second fingers are rnoistened on the tongue. and the ball slips over the ends of these fingers.
 In the drop the ball rolls over the side of the first finger. Some pitchers give the hand a snap as the ball leaves it.
