THE BASEBALL BOUNDED 60 FEET
Catcher Street Tells How He Caught
Ball From the Monument.

(By c, H. Zuber in the Cincinnati
Times-StaT)
While much has been said Of Charley
Streets feat of catching a baseball
thrown from the Washington Monu-
ment, distance OF about 500 feet,
some details of the stunt have been
overlooked,
The first ball that was thrown out
OF the little window near the top of
the monument the day the trick was
turned was a sort OF pathfinder" said
Street in Cincinnati the other dav,
"We wanted to sec what direction
II would take, and so just dropped 1t
over the side of the monument. 1t
came down with frightful velocity,
striking the cement pavement at the
foot of the monument and bounding full
" sixty feet into the air.
When II came down the second
time | caught it and found that the
| impact with the pavement had ripped
all the seams and partially mashed the
ball
THAT shows that when batsman
swings on ball and meets 1t fairly he
doesn't put near the force into his
blow that is created by a drop of about
800 feet
"Ihe fact that the ball bounced so
high into the air after striking the
pavement also warned ME that II
would be dangerous for me to attempt
TO catch the ball while standing on the
cement for II it should escape me and
hit the sidewalk and then poke me
under the chin on the rebound | might
have TO send for the smelling salts.
so / sent word up into the monu
ment that the next ball was to be
thrown out from the monument, so
that | could stand on the grass and
make the catch. This was done. and
after two or three trials ] got the
range properly and made the capture,
l caught the ball over my head. and
only felt the jar of the impact as far
as my elbows.
Il don't suppose that any other
catcher would have any particular
trouble in repeating the trick-provld-
| cd the authorities would let him make
the trial"

A Pariaian Character.

Tho revolutionary Libertad has
died IN a Paris hospital from a kick
which he had received during stormy
meeting recently, Libertad was one
OF the most curious figures In contem.
porary Paris. He wore no hat, but
long tangled hair and a long beard
Over his scarlet shirt he wore a black
blouse. and he was never seen without
a crutch and an enormous cane His
language was terrific and he rarely at
tended any public meeting without
calling for blood The man was a
complete mystery. His most intimate
disciples knew nothing of his history
On his death bed he begged his friends
not to arrange a funeral for him. as he
had left his body by will to the Paris
School OF Medicine.
