Snap Shots Of the Games.

Horsh played a great game at
short Monday.
Mr.. Umpire was all to the
good both games.
Whipple connected for his
usual home run Sunday.
Dietz got four hits out of five
times at bat in the second game,
that's hitting.
Ted was there all the way
Monday. No foul was too WIDE
or too high for his NIT.
If they cant get the money at
the Springs, the mint stopped
blowing it's whistle, that's all.
Carl was in great form Mon
day. Only three measley hits
were made from his faultless
delivery.
Our Rube had an off day Sun
day. Those days come to the
best Of twirlers and Rubeis one
of tbs best.
For the Springs Joe Garvey
on third sack played good ball
Sunday. Some Of his stops
were hair raisers.
Yarman was touched for
some II hits by our sluggers
Monday. He screamed for
help but no one listened.
One popularity about the
Springs team is their extremely
quiet manner of address. They
rarely speak even to the umpire.
Bill Fades certainly pitched
a good game Sunday. After the
way he was volleyed in Rapid
last week it was up to Bill to do
something and he did.
The attendance at both games
was very large. If we could
get such a crowd at a game in
Rapid City the club would at
once go into the free library
thing.

Sports Of a Meek
BY BOB McNALLY
Hot Springs 10, Rapid 3

On Sunday July 18th the ex-
cursionists at the Springs wit
messed a very clever exhibition
of the national game between
Hot Springs and Rapid City.
The two teams have repeatedly
broken even since the season
was Initiated and a fast and flu
rious fray was anticipated. I'm
til the seventh inning the game
was just what was ordered.
both teams we're in it, heart and
soul. But the pace was too
fast for the Rapid bunch. Fades
was delivering an assortment
that was bewildering. Stewart
was not at his best. Defeat was
inevitable. In the fatal seventh
the tidal wave swept the Rapid
City camp and they came to the
surface in the 9Th with ten
scores staring them in the face.
The lead was too great and the
game went to Hot Springs.
Couple and Brockett both back
stopped in brilliant form while
the pitching Of Fades and Whip
ple's home run we're the fea-
lures. Score:
HOT SPRINGS.

SUMMARY.
Hot Springs 2. Rapid 9

The Rapid City bunch went
into the game Monday fully de-
termined to play the game of
their lives. From the very
start it was plainly evident that
they were destined to win.
Behrens pitched, magnificent
ball and was accorded almost
faultless support. Brockett
made some spectacular catches
of high fouls. Deitz clouted
the ball for four safties all Of
which aided in the scoring Of
runs. Couple was again the
star for Hot Springs. Score:

The Spit Bali.

CASoDlO, IhF IllttoCCl
pitcher Of the spit ball explains
this dismayer Of every batter in
the st. Paul Dispatch:
cit is seldom that any batsman
succeeds in hitting a well de-
livered "spit ball" fairly. 1t is
usually hit through blind chance
or rapid calculation.
"The batsman sees the spit
ball coming, makes a frantic
smash at space in a line where
he thinks the ball is going to be
when it breaks. If he hits it at
all it is by chance.
CLINE and again | have seen
batsmen strike anywhere from
eight inches to a foot above or
below the ball, showing that
they were simply trusting to
luck to hit it.
professional base ball players
are not over-choice in their ex-
pressions, and the term "spit
ball" is a vulgarism. But it
expresses the curve exactly, be-
cause, without moistening the
ball at the point where it leaves
the first and second fingers
usually with chewed slippery
elm or tobacco-there would be
no "spit" curve. The fingers
slip from the ball without fric-
ton.
Ordinarily these two fingers
give the ball the spin that causes
it to break or curve in the air. In
throwing the ''spit ball" these
fingers give no motion at all to
the ball, but it leaves the thumb
last, which gives it a peculiarly
wobbly motion, the ball sud
denly steering to one side or
the other at the plate.
"The batter himself cannot
tell where it is coming. He may
have mis- eyes on it and have it
sized up to nicely, but in nine
cases out Of ten when it arrives
at point near the plate it wob-
bles around until the batsman
hits nothing but empty air.
"The other curves OF the pro-
fessional pitcher are compare
lively easy to follow. When
the batsman of experience once
faces a pitcher he soon finds out
! all about his curves, just the
point at which his outcurve be-
gins it's bend and the point when
his inshoot begins it's jump
Practically every pitcher in the
two big leagues pitches a differ
ent curve in the matter of
break although all Of these
curves leave the hand in the
same fashion.
"But a slight pressure of a
finger tip here, or the heel Of
the thumb there, exercised I'M
consciously and habitually on
the part Of pitcher, will shift
the break nearer to or farther
from the plate, as the case may
be. In time the batsman I'M
derstands in a measure the pc
culiarities of each pitcher.
"But there is no understand
ing the ''splt ball" itself. 1t
never 'wobbles' twice alike"
"The spot on the ball which
is moistened or 'slickened' is
clasped by the ends Of the first
and second fingers. The sur
face Of the ball under the thumb
is dry, and whatever rotation !
the ball gets comes from that
digit. This is because the leather
under the ends Of the fingers is
so slick that they cannot affect
the 'whirl' of the ball in the
least degree.
"This is what makes the COM
mand Of the spit BALI so diff
cult. Every pitcher trusts to
his fingers for accuracy in pitch
ing. In delivering the spit
BALI you must thrust to your
thumb"
