HERE IS THE LATEST
WRINKLE IN PITCHING.

The newest wrinkle in pitching
Is reported from q little league
in Kansas-the employment of
two pitchers on the same bats
man-and from all accounts it Is
quite a winner. One Of the
teams in the little league has a
pitcher who possesses such ter
rife speed that the catcher OF
the club can't hold him and also
carries a hurler Of wide curves
slow, soft curves-that could be
caught by a Chinaman. The
fast pitcher drives in two strikes
on a batsman and then retreats
to center field. while the slow
curVer. who has been guarding
center. ,hurriss to the slab. The
curve pitcher sends the third
strike curling over and trots
back to the garden, while the
fast boy returns to take two
shots at the next batsman.

Would advise any youth to take up
Ibackstoppins? My answer TO that ques-
ton is. Yes. Good receivers are hard
TO get, and catchers who are both good
behind the plate and who are workers
all through the game are still harder
TO find. 1t isn't so much the ability to
receive the ball from the pitcher or to
throw the runner out at the bases as
1t is the energy and snap that one puts
into the game from start TO finish Its
a cinch to catch i game when the side
you're on is winning. I'd rather do /.
than anything else know. But l al
ways was i hard loser, and. although
never give up hope. il always breaks
me up when we come out 1T the wrong
end OF the score board. To he a sue
cessfni ball player in the big leagues
you have got TO fight-yes, tight-every
minute of the game, to take every
chance that comes along. putting your
whole heart and soul in getting away
with it, to work and never give up I'M
til the last man goes out
Star Catchers Scarce.
Coming -,ac:, 10 !he position or
catcher rond hacSS:UIiS are hard to
find. IN fact. there are several clubs
iD the big leagues present that would
pay handsomely for star receiver
AS said before. catching is easy when
your club is winning. hut if your team
is in a rut and the pitchers not going
well you have hard work. The true

Sudden tendency to oil seepage
through tiIe parting line of the crank

be due merely to the loosening of some
OF the fastening belts. there also is pos

PHoToeRAPHoNE THE LATEST.
Government Investigating, Invention
to Replace Foo Horn.

In the not distant future the mar
ticulate howl of the foghorn is to dis
appear from the waters of the world.
Vessels travelling the great lakes In
thick weather will be warned of their
approach to dangerous coats by
melodious voice echoing for many
miles through fog or snow such In
formation. for instance, as this:
Portage Canal"
Likewise ships navigating narrow
channels in the same kind of weather
will speak to each other in the same
powerful tones, instead of assailing
the air with the repeated whoop OF
the fog signal blown from an over
worked steam whistle.
These wonders are to come as the
result of an invention recently per-
fected by a Swede. and now being
investigated by the United States gov
eminent. The device is called the
photographone' by its inventor. and Is
alleged to reproduce both sound and
action with equal fidelity Unlike the
wax records of the Edison talking ma
chine, the records for this are re-
produced on ivory, and this does
away with the harsh. metallic element
so noticeable in all other reproductions
of the human voice. The tones of the
Swedish inventors machine are said
TO be as pure and clear as the original
and what is most remarkable of all,
the volume of sound can be Increased
as desired.
1t Is through this latter quality that
the new invention is to come into use
on vessels and at fog and light signal
stations. 1t is claimed that the ma
chine will be able to call the name OF
the fog station fully as far as any ST.
rem or other noise-making device car
he heard. OF course. the invention
will come into extensive use for tho
reproduction of lectures, music. and
to hll all the varied requirements OF
the monograph.
