THE DROP BALL.
A Most Valuable Asset For Any
Pitcher.


Pitcher.
When certain of a drop, pitcher is
in possession of one of the most valu-
able assets on the ball field. The man
ner Of grasping the ball is Identical
with that employed in pitching an out
curve. The back of the hand must be
parallel with the ground when the ball
leaves It.
It is the motion of pitching and the
manner in which the ball Is released
that have more to do with bringing
about the drop than anything else
The arm must be brought up high, and
when over the shoulder at the maxi
mum of the swing the ball Is to be re-
leased between the thumb and the drst
finger and the hand p I'D back-try
to learn to do 1t unconst .ously-so that
the ball is given a motion correspond
ing to that which is given to billiard
ball when a draw shot Is being at
tempted. In other words, the ball Is
to be pulled from under. This Will
counteract the rotary motion when the
ball has reached a certain stage In It's
fight and cause it to settle unexpect-
edly toward the earth, at the same
time bearing to the left OF the home
olate il the pitcher be right handed.
Left handed pitchers from the nature
of their delivery, which is almost inva-
riably attended with long arm swing
from the shoulder, pitch the drop ball
more naturally than right handlers, but
there are many right hand pitcners
who are among the most effective OF
the drop ball pitchers.

To Spend Much Money Completing
Irrigation Work
an INTERVIEW WITH WILL 4. PARRY
PRESIDENT OF CONCERN DE-
scRlBEs MANY IMPROVEMENTS
CONTEMPLATED.

According to Will H. Parry, presi-
dent of the Pasco Light and Power
company, who was in Spokane, Sat-
urday, his company, which has taken
over the Two Rivers irrigation project,
is preparing to expend $3.50, 900 in COM
pleting the work started by the old
Snake River Irrigation company.
Water will be turned onto $4,000
acres, the company will reclaim, not
later than April 80, of next year.
The announcement of Mr.. Parry will
be received with considerable gratifi-
cation by Walla Wallans who pur-
chased land from the old company.
In brief Mr.. Parry announces that
the Pasco Light & Power company has
let contract for the immediate in
stallation of big power plant at Five
Mile rapids on Snake river. It is the
intention of the company to increase
the power capacity of the canal con-
structed by the Snake River Irrigation
company 300 per cent.
The New Canal.
The present canal is 60 feet wide at
the top and rs feet wide at the bot
tom. The new canal will be 12O feet
wide at the top and 60 feet at the bot
tom and will be excavated a depth Of
20 feet for a distance of 5000 feet. Mr.
Parry says the contract for excavating
the new canal will be let at once.
Mr.. Parry states there will be two
pairs Of twin turbines, 6S inches in
diameter with a speed Of 70 revolutions
per minute, and with a displacement
capacity each of 267 gallons per revolu-
ton.
One of the pumps will deliver $4,000
gallons of water per minute on the 80
foot lift and the other $4,000 gallons
per minute on a lit of so feet.
Contracts for the new turbines have
been awarded to Seattle company. In
an interview in the Review, Mr. Parry
says:
1--WE shall have water on the lands
under the Pasco Power & Irrigation
company's canals April 1, if not sooner.
1--WE shall probably make a test of
the canals and power plant beginning
March 1 so that everything will be run
ming smoothly by April. The company
will spend approximately $250,000 in
rebuilding this plant. The funds are
all subscribed and are in the bank and
the work will be rushed with all pos
sible speed.
"In all $4,000 acres of land will be
reclaimed under this project"
Engineer in Charge.
H. K. Owens CT Seattle is the en-
gineer in charge Of the work. He was
one of the consulting engineers on the
Washington Irrigation company's pro-
ject, and is well known in the north
west. 1t is stated that pumps of the
same type as are to be installed by the
Pasco company have been in operation
for some years near Beaumont, Texas,
pumping water on rice fields in that
vicinity and operated profitably by
steam generated from crude Oil.

sH. GREGORY SHOWS NECESSITY
,,rreEsTING SERMON is GIVEN
py PASTOR OF THE CENTRAL
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

civic Righteousness was the sub
iaot on which Rev. Morton Gregory
talked in Central Christian church
Yesterday morning.
The special obligation of the Chris
tian man is to the influence which
every man has for what ne believes
to be right.
The speaker did not make direct ref
erence to any specific place Of re-
form but plainly told his brethren that
the religion of Christ and it's obliga-
tions should be taken into the street
as well as the church; the store as
well as the home.
He spoke of the debt which every
body. nonChristian as we'll as Chris
tan. owes to Jesus, saying that the
very government and civilization Of
today are only possible because of
those fundamental principles of mo-
the life and death of the Savior.
1T makes no difference with a debt
whether it is acknowledged or not and
even if the whole world will not allow
the debt it owes to Jesus the obliga-
ton is there.
About the problem Of civic right
eousness. We ask ourselves as Chris
tan men what we should do. Some
say we should have nothing to do. Is
that the position of Christian? I
think not. position should be taken
with the full knowledge and consent
of Jesus Christ. 3! -
Il do not wish to take up the ques-
ton of civic righteousness in particu-
lar, but in city and state we are what
We are because of the Master whom
we serve, or the Master whom we do
not serve, and ought to serve.
IF We ask our Master whether these
things have advanced the kingdom or
not we will have little difficulty in de-
Gliding. We usually tell whether we
shall indulge in thing because of the
price We ought to ask ourselves
whether we can afford to do some
things which we would like to do"
Mr. Gregory dwelt on the importance
of having a Master, using the analogy
of ship without a pilot which would
drift to destruction. Christ was the
only pilot to guide the life by.
Are we playing with religion" was
another query. 'Tt is dangerous to
play with it,
The man who undertakes to travel
through life alone without a guide I'M
dertakes a journey which will surely
end in disaster. Young men and
women and older men and women you
need the Christian pilot to guide you
from every shoal and possibility of
danger to reach the goal.'

INNING MAJOR LEAGUE GAME.

delphia Athletics, was the hero of the
recent sensational game with Boston
that went twenty-four innings. Coombs
won his game, final score 1 to l. Joe
Harris was the opposing Beantown slab
artist
we'll as friends Of the Cubs, believes that
much of Chicago's success this year
has been due to the headwork display
ed by the members Of the team. In
Chicago they are talking yet Of the way
the Cubs won game from the Giants
in New York by replacing Reulbach
with three fingered Brown in the mid
die of the ninth inning. When Tinker
saw that Reulbach was getting ratified
in the ninth inning and three men were
on bases and only one out, he insisted
that Chance should send Brown to the
rescue. It was fortunate that Chance
did so, as the Cubs were only one run
ahead. Gilbert famed and Wiltse flied
to center. Even the New York fans
who remember the incident will admit
that good generalship was displayed.
Another brilliant piece of strategy IL
credited to Evers in another game with
the McGrawites.
Taylor was twirling for New York.
when one Of the Cubs hunted. Evers,
who was ON second base at the time,
got a long lead on the pitcher and was
rounding third for home when Taylor
got the ball. Taylor had no idea that
Evers would go home, and while he
was throwing out the batter at first
Johnny sailed home with the winning
run. Mccain tried to catch him at the
plate, but Evers beat the ball home by
yard The fact that Taylor Is deaf
and could not be warned Of Evers' dar-
ing stunt in time to head him OF at the
plate was all figured out by Johnny be-
fore he attempted the play.
