The day of successful high ball
pitching is a thing of the past.
There was a time when it was the
accepted theory that one of the
requisites of the successful twirler
was ability to keep the ball high,
and around the batter's neck.
For long time it proved sue
T cessful, but when the batters be-
: came accustomed to this style of
pitching and learned to keep away
from 1t, the slabber found himself
up against 1t every time he re-
sorted to the high fast one.
With the advent of the spit
ball" it became apparent that the
low ball was harder to hit, and.
naturally, the present day twirlers
adapted themselves to this de-
livery.
The one great reason for the in
ability to hit the low ball success
fully, as given by players of ex-
perience, is the fact that it is
harder to gauge properly.
This is true when the man at bat
Is trying to pull off the hit and run
play. Formerly. when the twirlers
kept their fast balls high, it was
pie for the batter to either step
back or in, as the occasion re.

quired, and push or pull the ball in
the direction he wished it to go.
With the low ball it is different,
as the batter connot gauge the ball
any too we'll, and finds it a difficult
matter to place it.
1t is particularly hard for the bat
ter to follow low ball on a dark
day, as was shown in the second
game of the first worlds series be-
tween New York and the Athletics
on the Polo grounds.
Chief" Bender, who was on the
mound for Connie Mack's men, is a
pitcher who, when right, has a ire
mendous amount of speed. Phila-
delphia managed to score a few
runs for Bender early in the game,
and with this lead there was no
chance for the Giants to catch up.
Bender had the advantage of the
gathering gloom, and this, coupled
with his ability to keep his fast
ball low, proved stumbling block
for the aggressive Giants.
Members of both teams say the
big fellow was unhittable on ac-
count of this, which goes to show
how much harder it is to hit the
low ball than the high one.

OPENING OF
STATE FAIR
Prospects Bright For Best
Fair in History.
Senator Bradley Starts Things
Humming With Interest
ing Address.

The seventh annual State Fair was
opened at Louisville Monday morning
with every prospect for successful
meeting. The grounds have been
greatly improved and the facilities
for caring for the crowds and for the
stock have been increased. Senator
w. o. Bradley was selected to make
the opening speech and he measured
wen up TO the occasion. Upon being
introduced by Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, Rankin, he spoke as follows:
II is source of pride to the peo-
pie of Kentucky that we have such
a fair as this. The grounds, the mag
nificent buildings and all the sur
roundings are in keeping with the
State. and the excellent officers of
the association are entitled TO the
thanks of all our citizens.
You are not here to-day to hear po-
litical discussions. SO much the bet
Ger, for we have had too much of
politics and not enough of business
in this State. Such meetings as
this are of great moment TO the farm
ing and other interests of Kentucky.
The farmers at last are the bone and
sinew of the State. When they are
prospecting the whole state prospers;
when they are suffering, all suffer.
The two first pursuits Of man were
farming and shepherding Hence, they
are not only the most ancient,blt the
most honorable. One of the greatest
troubles we have to-day is that young
men by the thousands turn their back
in contempt upon the farm in order
to become preachers, lawyers and
doctors, and in many instances good
farmers are ruined 20 make indiffer-
eHt preachers, shyster lawyers and
quack doctors. The health of the
people is in constant danger from
the excessive number of young doc
tors: their lives and liberty in dan
ger on account of4the oversupply Of
lawyers, and their souls placed in
jeopardy by reason of the overflow
, of-preachers. .ifr13.I airs
The command of the Savior, II Is
true, wasto go into all the world and
preach the gospel. Howeyer It must
be remembered 1t was not his com
= mand to gu into all the world and
preach at the gospel. ,ayD Il.U F..
The farmer OF to-day is very diff
ferent from the farmer Of fifty years
ago. We now have scientific farming.
The soil is thoroughly studied and
its character and possibilities thor,
oughly determined. The Government
through its splendid Agricultural De-
+. partmentis constantly engaged in max

II you desire me to do so, can

It is not infrequent that persons

IL Cox is now telling the truth, 1t
would seem that Estis. although net
OF a very good reputation,is now serv-

goes to show that too much faith can
not be attached to witnesses who turn
states evidence and their testimony
should be taken by juries with a
great deal of allowance.
