SOME THINGS THE
FANS WILL WATCH
Coming Ball Season Gives
Promise of Close
Finishes

There isn't any particular use in
branding the coming season as "a "mo-
mentous year in balldom." That's Il
cinch in advance. They are all mo
mentions years" in this old game.
Everything connected with it is mo
mentous," from the one-handed stop
some earnest athlete makes to shut of
a run unto the lone bobble that costs
a pennant Baseball is a series Of
''momentous" events, and there's no
josh TO this remark. either
But, on the side. in addition to the
usual and average "momentous" events
Of each season. 1909 gives promise Of
showing an even richer crop-ciose
finishes, of course, barred, with the
1908 record extant.
That's one turn Of the dope sheet
that may never be equalled again and
rarely approached.
Among the leading features TO DC
watched this coming season in the big
show might be numbered the follow
ing:
The showing George Stallings makes
with the New York American League
outfit from the wreckage Of 1908.
The showing Clark Griffith makes
with the sadly jumbled Cincinnati team
that has been waiting in vain for u
mogul to lead it out of the wilder
ness
Whether or not the Cubs can win
their fourth straight pennant and Sc.
q new record.
Whether OF not the Cubs can win
their third worlds championship and
thereby set a record that is likely t.

Whether or not Nap Lajoie is &c

VALUE OF TEAM
PLAY---BASEBALL
Addie Joss Tells of Some
Inside Workings Of the
Game

What constitutes team work." is a
question often asked OF anyone directly
connected with the playing end of base
ball. The fans are constantly reminded
that this feature of clubs play is one
Of the most important essentials in its suc-
cess" says Addie Joss, the famous
Cleveland twirler
Naturally they wonder what really
constitutes team play, and hence. the
reason the question is so often asked.
Team work is nothing more than per-
feet understanding, between all the mem-
bers Of a club as to what is to be
done on a particular play.
For instance: There is man on first
with but one out. II the runner decides
to try for second he first imparts this in
formation to the batter so the man at the
plate can in any legitimate way help him
reach the base in safety. or vice versa.
III the man at the bat doesn't know
what the base runner is going to do, IL
can readily be seen that his chance to
help the runner advance is not near as
good as II he were aware of the intention.
This same theory applies to every play,
when two or more men are connected with
the play. We will say that with a man
on first the guardian of the sack decides
there is a chance TO catch the runner nap
ping.
THE first sacker accordingly signals
the catcher to throw to him there on the
next ball pitched. For tie backstop to be
sure that his end Of the play Is to be
made right. be must let the pitcher know
what he is going TO do, so the box artist
can hand the ball wide Of the plate. that
the batter will not have a chance to hit
at the ball and spoil the attempted play
ANY number Of plays OF this nature
might be cited. but they all come back &C
the fundamental point Of a thorough un-
derstanding between the players.
"When this understanding is not thor
ough it certainly works havoc with team
/ play. With man on first and one out
/ the hit and run is attempted The batter
| decides on this play and gives the signal
| He takes It for granted the man at first
is going down on the next ball pitched
and to help him swings at the ball. nc
matter where it is.
III, instead of the base runner starting
/ for SECOND. he remains glued to the bag
because he has missed the sian, the mar
at bat goes through with his end fol
nothing
when he sees that the oase runner Is
still on first his confidence is shaken and
I he Is afraid to give the sign for fear the
runner will miss Il again.
"A play Of this kind may easily lose the
game and it emphasizes the Importance
OF an understanding between every mem.
ber Of the club. IL the team expects TO be
contender for the championship"

Newton's Light Theory.

Sir Isaac Newton earned worldwide
fame by showing that gravitation. pre-
viously recognized only at the surface
Of the earth, is operative throughout
the universe wherever there is matter.
In another field Of physics he was far
less happy. His brilliant success in
experimental optics came to be quail
fed, though not inval1dated, by
faulty Interpretation Of the facts. He
gave his name and powerful authority
to the corpuscular theory of light. In
Sir Isaac's view, the phenomenon OF
luminosity is produced by corpuscles-
exceedingly minute particles of matter
which are projected continuously
from the sun, stars and all other lumi-
nous bodies. But his corpuscles failed
to elucidate all the appearances, and
Sir -Isaac's theory was finally deposed
by an explanation which referred light
to undulatory vibrations in the ether.
It would be some comfort for the dis
coverer Of universal gravitation, were
he living now, to realize tnar the mod
ern physicist is daily dealing with cor
puscles flung off from matter at speeds
fairly comparable with that Of life it.

A Wonderful Bowman.

The Romans were very skillful bow
men, although they discarded the weap-
on in warfare, trusting to the charge
and to hand to hand fighting. Many
of the Roman emperors were famous
archers. It Is said that Domitian would
place boys in the circus at consider
able distance from him and as they
held up their hands with the fingers
outstretched he would send the arrows
between them with such nicely and &C.
curacy Of aim that he never inflicted q
wound.
The wicked emperor Commodus
boasted that he never missed his aim
or failed to kill the wild beast that he
shot with single arrow. He would
set a shaft in his bow as some wild
beast was set free in the circus to de-
YOUR living criminal condemned to
die. Just when the furious animal
was springing on his prey the emperor
would strike it dead at the mans feet.
Sometimes 100 lions were let loose at
once in order that be, with 100 arrows,
might kill them. With arrows the
heads Of which were semicircular he
would sever the necks of ostriches in
full fight.

The Queer Screw Plant,

There Is nothing under the sun quite
so quaint so weird and witchlike as
the pandanus prairies of Fiji. The pan
danus, or screw plant, as it is called, is
a most grotesque specimen Of the veg
etable kingdom even at the best and
in the early stages Of its growth. In it's
very young days it is Of an extraordi-
narily screwlike shape and looks as
though some unkind hand had taken
bold of its long, swordlike leaves and
twisted them round and round. Later
on it straightens out bit, and from it
grow a number Of tall wooden stilts.
Its foliage Is simple, a number of
dropping, ragged tufts, for all the
world like mops and very mournful
looking. Among these mops hangs the
fruit, in shape like a pineapple, made
up Of hard red and yellow kernels,
woody and fbrous and quite uneatable
from a Europeans point Of view.
