NEW AUTOMATIC TWIRLER.
Harvard Collegians Fail to Hit
Curves of the Latest Invention.

Another automatic twirler is the latest
thing to trouble the batters
The inventor tried out his invention on
the Harvard base ball squad the other
day with huge success.
The machine is similar to a breech-
loading gun. 1t consists OF large. solid
heavy tube the size OF a base ball. about
five feet in length. The tube. OF gun. ia
mounted on a stand, that the barrel
is about five and a half feet above the

pressed air. The amount of the pres
sure can be turned on heavily In order
to speed the ball. or it can be reduced
to smaller pressure. throwing shower
ball. The pressure is regulated by a.
lever.
But the most interesting part OF the
ball pitching machine is the device which
enables any kind of a curve or comhina-
ton curve to be thrown. The ball, while
wheels are operated by strings. and COM
municate to the ball the twist which
makes the curve.
By pulling one string the wheels are
made to revolve in one direction, and by
a pull on the other the opposite direction
Is produced. In this way an out or in
curve can be thrown. BY twisting the
barrel. so that the wheels are above and
below the ball. drop or upshoot can be
secured.
The direction OF the ball is adjusted by
kind OF pivot. which the gun is
mounted. and on which the muzzle can
be elevated. depressed or DETECTED to one
side or the other as is desired.
There is one great difficulty in hitting
the ball. The machine has no preliminary
wind-up motion. and the first the batter
sees Of the ball after the sound of the
compressed air is the sphere travelling
through the air In his direction.
Mr. Poper must not get too enthusiastic.
as college batters are not noted for their
ability to slug.

may SEND AN EIGHT EAST
PACIFIC COAST COLLEGES MUCH
INTERESTED IN ROWING.

Many of the aquatic writer's Of the
country are devoting considerable space
to the doings Of the colleges on the Pa
cific and the likelihood of some one of
them coming east to participate in the in
tercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie
The Star in a recent issue spoke OF the
probability of the University Of WASH
ington sending crew to meet the col
leges of the east. as it was impossible
to get any races in its section. TINS
statement was printed on the authority
of one of the leading opponents OIL ath-
letics in the far northwest, Mr.. j. M.
F'lagg of Washington state. That there
is a boom in aquatfcs on the slope is
indicated by a letter received here re-
Gently from Mr.. Frank Tobin of Oak
land, Cal, a former tennis champion of
Georgetown University, foot ball play
and a { one time a member of the senior
fOur-oared crew of the Potomac Boat
Club.
Mr.. Tobin says that rowing has seized
on the Pacific coast colleges with a nrm
grip. and the University of California
we'll as Stanford University has as
many as ten eight-oar crews at work at
present. preparing for the first intercol-
legiate regatta of Pacific coast colleges.
which takes place on Richardson bay,
near Oakland. April II.
II am convinced that If the showing
OI WluHtG Oh the varsity IS OF such
excellence both as to form and speed as
to justify II, there will be little trouble
In raising the amount to send the crew
to Poughkeepsie. 1t is expected that
besides the two from California the
University OF Oregon and Washington
will send crews to compete. The latter is
almost certain. il is talking of going
east, win or lose. The great boom ele-
ment now at work in this growing state
of Washington has penetrated the uni
versity, and today the boating facilities
of the place are unsurpassed anywhere
in America The university Is located
near Lake Washington, one of the most
beautiful sheets Of water in the world.
and the boathouse is stocked with five
frst-class eights. three modern eight

three four-oar shells and any number
of working boats. They have an old
Cornell varsity man at the helm and
naturally they are rowing the Courtney

Watch. therefore. for the results Of our

Tobin, land if 1t is successful see how
we will go after the effete east in
aquatics. just as We have gone after
them successfully in every other line of
sports. especially those of track and

Mr.. Tobin also wrote that II the col

spirit that guided him years ago as q

The White Sox waded into the
Aalas yesterday afternoon at Aala
Park and defeated them to the tune
of 90. II was the first appearance
OF the victorious aggregation this
season and the players excellent
showing won for them the favor of
the fans.
II was fairly even game most Of
the way through, with slightly the
best of 1t on the side of the Aalas.
The White SOx chalked up eight
errors against themselves, while but
two disfigured the score OF the oppos-
ing eleven.
In the ninth inning the Aalas had
one run to the good and considered
the victory all but won Then the
White Sox got busy and brought the
inning to close by adding four runs
to their end Of the 6-5 score. That
settled matters then and there.

distance OF the High School goal. Ly-
man kicked a beautiful field goal-a
place kick. With score OF 100 the
Punahou rooters went wild.
Then the High School men got
down to work in deadly earnest.
Time after time. Rice, the captain,
made good gains around Punahou's
left, but on each occasion the ball
was ultimately held or forced back
and High School was forced to punt.
The Punahou men worked the for
ward pass successfully several times,
and the High School tried the expert
ment. The result was disastrous.
The second half was notable chief
ly for the number of penalties that
were imposed. The Punahou men,
with the game safe already, devoted
their efforts entirely to protecting
their own goal.
At the beginning Of the second,
Andrews kicked of for the High
School. When the dust had cleared
away Punahou man was seen in
back Of the College goal line with the
ball in his arms. The School men
thought II safety, but 1t proved
otherwise. and the one hope Of score
was shattered.

The largest crowd that has wit
