HAS A NEW STYLE BALL
Tries the KnuckIe and Develops One
of His Own.

DETROIT. Mich, May 16.-Eddie Sum-
mers of the Detroit base ball team denies
emphatically that he uses the new inven-
tion in the pitching world, the knuckle ball.
However, according to his team mates and
several others, he is the master of a no.
name ball, which is more effective than
such productions as the knuckle ball. This
new one has not yet been christened, but
from the description it might do to call 1t
the unlimited combination" Summers
says that he made his discovery while try
ing to master the knuckle ball. He says
he grips the ball with the tips of his
fingers and his thumb and can control it
better than by merely pressing the horse
hide against the knuckles, and furthermore
he can put some steam in It. Those who
have seen 1t say that it sails up to the
batter like fioater, only 1t is speedy and
that just as the sphere reaches the man
with the ash. It appears to pause in the
air for the merest fraction OF a second
and then to curve. generally downward.
On some occasions the ball is said to make
more than one break.

of Tornado the Cause.
The athletic authorities at Bellevue col
lege haves called off the game with Peru
that was scheduled for Monday because
Of the lack OF practice, that has resulted
to the team on account of the tornado.
Since Monday the team has had no chance
TO get into shape, and with the choatic
conditions about the school and town, q
game is undesirable. This was one Of the
intercollegiate league games, and - order
to play it off, the locals will meet Peru
IN a double-header at Peru while on their
trip. On Thursday the varsity meets the
strong aggregation from Wesleyan on the
local field. Wesleyan claims to have the
strongest team in it's history and the boys
hope, however to hand them such bunch
that they win think that another cyclone

Denver engaged in a comedy Of errors"
today, neither side winning, the game being
called in the tenth inning to allow the

relieved by Corbett, who made the hit that
tied the score in the eighth inning off

Denver players were hard losers and almost
provoked Umpire Brennan into awarding
the game to the Sioux In the eighth, when
the whole team surrounded him. Score:
