Collins a Marvel Of Grace.
Another attractive thrower is Jim
my Collins. His throws do not go
with the whizzing flight of Stein
feidt's, but he is easier and more grace
full. Nobody ever wcs Collins equal
in natural grace. From the moment
he goes after a bali--up in the air. or
scooping difficult bunt---all of Col
Inns muscles and movements are In
perfect harmony.
Al thrower of the Dah1in type is
George Davis of the white sox. Davis
style is more useful than ornamental.
He. too, is a side wheeler. He sug-
gests the numbering, rather than the
nimble, but makes no false movements.
Hal Chase, the brilliant first base
man of the yankees, has marked
mannerism in his throwing. It is a
peculiar lift Of the ball TO a point just
over and close to the left shoulder.
There is an almost imperceptable
hitch or break in the movement of the
arm just before the ball Is thrown.
then the hand shoots forward Just
past the ear.

| indifferent careless manner. He Is the
personihcation of careless. supple
grace. There is a rather wide sweep
of the arm, but with the movement

country. Dutch Wager is less sym

he is, he is boundless in his activity
When it comes to throwing the Dutch
man can vary his style, just as he can
for batting. Sometimes he tosses the
ball--merely floats ii over to first base
as IL to show his contempt for the
speed of the runner Sometimes, when
the time Is short, his arm describes a
swinging. swishing arc, and then he
cuts loose with great force.
Kid Eberfeld Is a determined, vicious
thrower, who whips them across on a

although his aim may be bad at times
the ball goes straight, whether into
the first baseman's mitu into the
ground or into the grandstand
5radley's Swinging Motion.
Bill Bradley, the tall and rangy third
baseman of the Cleveland club, makes
a lariat of his arm, throws with a
swinging motion, and has such reach
that he seems to be handing the bal
to the first baseman.
Joe Tinker is another who might be
described as an enthusiastic thrower
He conveys the impression that he
would rather throw than eat. Every
bit of him Is mixed UP In the throwing
motion, some way or another, and he
goes at the job with the gusto of q

SectiSp 8, Amending Section 81

SSStNii y, hhcnulHB otCtlOn 81
Under section 81, the public prop.
crty ceded TO the United States upon
annexation remains In the control of
the Territory, but the President or the
governor may set aside any of It for
the uses and purposes OF. the United
states. In some cases property has
thus been set aside as matter OF pre-.
caution which has subsequently been
found not needed. One object of this
amendment is to permit such property
to be restored, but only by direction OF
the President, to its previous status.
Another object of the amendment Is
to permit the President to turn over
to the Territory the title to lands used
or desired, for use by the Territory fol
lublic purposes. At present the Ter
ritory has schools and other buildings
and public works upon lands the title
to which Is technically In the United
States, The Territory is constantly
expanding money on these In keeping
fthe buildings in repair and In erecting
new buildings ana the public works
and ought To have the title to them
Their proceeds now all go TO the Ter
Titory. The amendment also permit,
the Governor when authorized by III,
Legislature, to turn over portions o
! such property to cities, counties, ~
other political subdivisions for thel
purposes.
