THE BAzzAzAz BALK.
kilroy's Throw to First Base While
Looking at Home Plate.


Looking at Home Plate.
''Players of the present day a:s
prone to scott at the tales Of the
prowess of Matty Kilroy, better
known as Bazzazaz,' a left handed
pitcher, who performed marvels,"
writes Hugh s. Fullerton in the
American Magazine. "Most mod
ern pitchers declare that under
present conditions Kilroy would
have been failure. The little left
handler, after years of triumph, re-
tired because his arm was hopeless
ly worn out. In spite Of that fact
Tom Burns, when he assumed
charge of the Chicago club in 1898,
resurrected Kilroy, whose arm was
so weak, according to his own adj
missions, he couldn't break a pane
of glass at fifty feet Yet for one
season and part of another he
pitched against the strongest clubs
and beat them regularly.
"Kilroy's success was due almost
entirely to his fbazzazaz' balk,
which he evolved by persistent
training. He was the only pitcher
who eyer baked without baking,
if such thing is possible. In the
first four innings Of the first game
he pitched against Baltimore after
Burns rcsurrected him nine men
reached first base. He caught six
of them off the base, and, although
two umpircs watched every move
he made, they declared that under
the rules he did not balk.
sKilroy explained to me after his
permanent retirement his system
of training by which he acquired
the 'bazzazaz balk.'
"I see the old soup bone was
ready for the undertaken he said,
so goes to work on the balk. 1
always had a good balk motion, but
wanted a better one. l spent half
the winter in the side yard at home
with chalk mark on the wall for
first base and another on the fence
for the home plate. I practiced
morning and afternoon, making
from $50 to 400 throws day with
my wrist and forearm trying to hit
the first base line while looking at
the other one and without moving
either my feet or body. By prac-
ticing got SO could shoot the
ball faster to first base with wrist
and forearm than l could pitch it
to the plate with full swing.
That's all there was to it. Just look
straight at the plate, pull your
hands up against your breast, raise
your left one to the level of your
ear, then drive the ball to first
without looking until after it starts,
and you've got him. The umpire
can't see whether you look before

EAGLE Has
LOTS OF ORE
New Shoots Expose Large
Bodies.

AS work progresses in the No,
3 tunnel at the American Eagle,
the ore shoots that are now be-
ing opened are proving to be
larger than at first suppose. AT
present they are running two
raises, about 70 feet apart, and
it looks like the ore was continu-
Gus. Should this prove so, a
good big body will be opened up.
There is about 8 feet of ore here
that is high grade and carries
quite a little sulphides.
At present the chutes are full
of ore from the slopes already
opened, and enough ore can now
be broken to keep the mill run
ming for sometime, should the
management wish to do so.
Mr.. Boyd, the lessee, is now
considering the running of a
tunnel from the mill level, to dc
away with the necessity of haul
ing the ore, and this would also
get about 200 feet more depth.
Thetore as milled now is net
ting about S17.5O on the plates.
