Sss;t Il. 49, Is
y Harry Howell. the clever twirler Of
the St. Louis Browns. has this to say
on the spitball: 81
...Aitiloush the 'spitbalr has had a
vogue, now some three years old,
among baseball players. no thorough
" Illuminating description Of this al
most unhittable device of the pitchers
has been given the reading public
which takes an interest in baseball. At
least / have never read anything that
al all approached a lucid explanation
or description of the ball. and 1 read a
great deal of baseball news.
81 shall endeavor to describe, as far
as lies in my power. and as far as the
carrying virtues Of ink and paper will
allow, what the spit ball really Is.
"Elmer Stricklett, a Californian
later with Brooklyn, accidentally dis
covered the virtues of the ball. He
noticed. as had most pitchers, that on
days when the grass was wet the ball
took curious shoots. Many pitchers
and players had noticed the same
thing. hut Stricklctt was the first man
to dream Of putting these puzzling &C
cident;u shoots, deemed detrimental,
into a valuable portion OF the pitchers
repertoire.

wind is behind you it will not work.
But the old splitter" is always with
you.
THE spitball is almost an exact in
version Of the old raise" Instead of
the fingers imparting spin to the ball
they. hcing fabricated. have no intiu-
ence whatever upon it. Therefore. the
hall leaves your hand with absolutely
no spin whatever upon it. AS soon as
the initial velocity impaired to it by
your shoulder dies it has nothing to
carry. it floating. So it ducks rather
than shoots, and no living man can hit
it.
II can truthfully say that I have
never yet had a perfect spitball hit on
me. Sometimes they make foul of
the one or hit it down to the infield
generally to the pitcher. AS for driv-
Ing a spitball that breaks right, no
man has ever done it for me. p.
:, How hard 1t . to hit may be imag-
ined when any catcher will tell you
that it is sometimes impossible to
Fcatch and that he is lucky to break
BIT down with his mitt, even though he
has the advantage Of the batter on
knowing what is coming.
when your spitball fails to break it
is a mark. 1t comes up with just
enough speed and without a semblance
Of q curve. Then they hit it.
"As for control of it, l cannot exactly
hit a dollar with it. but can break it
II. or out or down within a reasonable
1t
by moving my fingers to the left for
an inshoot or to the right for an out
shoot. In every case the downshoot
or duck accompanies the other.
II like the ball, though many people
say it hurts the arm. 1t never has hurt
mine and 1 use it as often as any man
pitching. Two-thirds of all the balls I
throw are 'spitters.' Throwing the
curve hurts me much more.
"A good many pitchers lose their
curve when they go to throwing spit
balls. This is due to the fact that
they unconSciOusly cease to use the
first two fingers, whereas the thumb
develops and becomes stronger. 1
throw NV curve without the use of the
thumb at ALL in the old schoolboy way
of grasping it between the ball of the
thumb and fingers. This gets the
thumb out of the way and makes the
fingers work. This is why l have never
lost my curve.
There is a lot of noise about the
INJURY done to pitchers by the spit
ball. Because ChesbrO and few
others are not in good form as of old
they say the splitter did it. Not nee
essarily. Pitchers will come and go.
In the old Baltimore days they used to
say that Robinson killed his pitchers
making them throw curves. If another
man made them Use speed it was the
same kick would be coming l can
name many a great pitcher that has
gone, even though he never used the
'spitball.' This is my third year with
it, and 1 do think I never was in such
good form with speed and curves as l
am today"

Montenegro never for one moment has

Turkish throne. At the time OF the
Bulgarian outrages in 1876 Montenegro,
although considered then almost an
integral part of Turkey. was the first
to declare war. 1t was followed
promptly by Scrvia. which called for a
declaration on the part of Russia; thus

Turkey In 1877, to protect Christians
from the brutality of the Turk, was
forced by the little Black Mountain
district In spite of the protests of Eng

Turkish bonds. In the treaty Of Berlin
which followed the complete inde-
pendence Of Montenegro was rccogn-
lied in 1878.
The area of Montenegro, inclusive of
the annexation effected by the treaty
Of Berlin, is but $3.50 square miles. Its
total population Is about 22S,OOO. ret

Nicholas l., the ruling prince, began
his reign August IA. 1860. His family
consists OF three sons and six

luck in marrying his girls as the Oldest
daughter. Zorka, was married to
Prince Peter. Karageorgevitch, now
King Of Servia. Zorka died some
years ago.
The uprising recently seems to be
due to a change Of front on the part of
Nicholas. due probably to Austrian
influences. In famous interview, in
