HOW THE "SPIT-BALL"
TWIsTER is THROWN

Much is said about the spit-ball but
few persons know how it is thrown.
Here's the secret: The "spt-ball' is
thrown by moistening the tips of the
first and second fingers and rubbing
them over the ball. thus forming slip
perry spot generally about the size of Il
half dollar
The first and second fingers are plac-
ed on this spot and the ball hurled just
as any other is thrown. Because of
the slippery spot, the two fingers slip
on the surface with but little friction.
and for some reason that no one has
yet satisfactorily explained, the ball
will generally take a sharp break in
some downward or side direction, Just
about the time it reaches the plate.
&"Spitball" pitchers generally use some
material such as slippery elm to cause
the saliva to flow freely.
Not anyone, including the pitcher
himself, knows which way the ball will
break.

! One of Beal's chief efforts these days
is TO make Emil quit trying to scratch
the calves of his legs when he Is OF,
The stage. This was a habit possessed
by Bob F'itzsimmons. who, when first
broken into the footlights route, used
to relieve his embarrassment by reach
ing with one of his Immensely long
arms and scratching himself midway
down the calf to the huge delight of
the audience.
Emil also has this tendency, but has
gradually been broken Of 1t. He wear )
cute little blue hat in the piece.
as Hack did when he was here Emil
has to he on the jump all the time. It's
q hopeless case for him. however. as
Gotch wins in the long run. He strikes
an attitude as the curtain goes down
with klank PROSTATE on the floor.
Then there is wild applause and Frank
modestly bows his thanks.
George Porter Smith is the actor who
plays the part Of Gotch's manager To
see Smith off the stage, no one would
imagine he is SO sporty. He is very
quiet hammered young man. who wears
unobtrusive clothes. But on the stage
It's different--he comes out in kaleido-
scopic garments and looks like John ].
Ryan, did in his palmy days
Joseph Burton is another quiet young
man off the boards, but the amount of
noise he makes as a colored porter
shows how deceitful appearances can
DO. &alph ALBERT may never have
seen frst-class wrestling bout. but
he makes a good referee, just the
same.
lanche Alexander proves a most AT
fecuonate sister. and Mac keogh. is
the aunt who opposes Franks wrcst-
ling mania. James ]. Corbett is soon
TO follow Frank OH the rond rs he is

will take up The Man on the Box"
this year, in which Henry e. Dixey
appeared last season.

Such pift'e as this is what emphasizes
that ineNplalna ole trait of human char.

WORTHY OF EMULATION.

e One thing that the Pacific league di-
.rectors are to stand strongly for next
season concerns the language of tile
PLAYERS toward the ,impires. Accord
ing 10, the rules no. player except, the
captain of team has any right to
dispute q decision with the umpire. ana
vet every game the poor umpire is be-
sieged by from TWO to FIVE players on
every decision thatdoes not suit. These
complaints do no good. for an Instance
of an umpire changing his decision is
as rare as an angels visit. In addi
ton, the game is delayed by wranSles
and the spectators become disguised
and nothing has been accomplished.
Concerning ginger it is just as
easy for a bali player to trot In ana
off the field as it is to loaf along and
crawl in and out. The game is de-
2iayed by tl,is business and the fans
come to regard such lazy players as
dead ones. Even If there are q dozen
errors made. the fans will forget half
of these IL the players show life in go-
ing on and off the field. The aues-
ton of ginger is only a business propo-
sit!en that makes the fans think the
game is short and lively one aud
this feeling should be striven for, be-
cause the people who support the
games should be given some consil-

Pearl Harbor as a naval base for the
North Pacific one needs the training Of
a photographer, for in its present state
IL is little more than a salt marsh Just
around the corner from Honolulu.
Before it can become available millions
must be expended in dredging, yet
other millions in the construction Of
Notifications which shall secure our
vessels when at last it shall have become
possible for them to enter. Yet Pearl
Harbor is a necessary outpost, and on
It depends not only our command Of
that ocean but as we'll the peace of the
coast from Puget Sound to San Diego
and the maintenance Of the Panama
Canal as q free waterway.
Not less important az covering the
Pacific mouth Of the canal Is our remote
southern outpost in the bay of Page
Page. But there Is a difference. This
is easily shown in the routine announce
ment from the Navy Department that
