HOT SPRINGS, Ark. April Q
Have you ever watched the hands
of ball players when they are
working? Close observation teach
es a lesson. 1t teaches one how not
to have digits broken.
Your natural born player goes
after every ball in the easiest pos
sible way, holding his hands so the
ball Will find its way into the
glove and palm of the ungloved
hand, without any of the fingers
coming in contact with the ball.
Only the tyro holds his hands sc
the fingers point toward the ball.
| have seen cricket players &c
after a ball in this fashion, but
cricket is a different game from
baseball, as most any one will ad
nit.
In catching a ball above the waist
with both hands, the player holds
his hands in such a position that
the thumbs are together, the out
side or little finger side of the
hands. separated, forming a cup
into which the ball goes. The only
finger in danger is the small fin
ger of the ungloved hand, and the
player protects this by taking the
weight of the ball upon his gloved
hand, using the ungloved hand tc
close over the ball as it lodges in
the cup.
Catching a ball below the waist
line, tho player reverses the posi-
ton of his hands, by holding the
little fingers together and opening
the thumb side of the hands TO form
the cup.

United States think too much Of
their national sport to see it buried
in gamblers grave.
Naturally a sport in which the
element of chance is so prominent
has been preyed upon at times by
the professional layer of odds, but
be it sad to the honor of the men
at the head of the game that every
time the hydra headed monster has
shown itself it has been crushed
under foot, until today you seldom
hear of money being wagered at a
ball game.
The way for baseball to retain its
present high position is to maintain
the integrity of the game. The
members of the national commits

owners realize this, and we are

EFFORT MADE BY CASS
SHERIFF TO FIND RING
Diamond swindIer Brought to Omaha,
But Finds Article of
Jewelry Sold.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., April 26-(Spe-
cial)-Sheriff Quinton took the diamond
swindler. who refuses to give his right
name and address, to Omaha Monday to
try and locate a diamond ring valued at
S145 that he claimed to have disposed OF
to a pawnbroker on Douglas street. He
said he visited a 1ewery store in Sheridan,
Wyo., and selected the ring and had it
sent by express TO Newcastle, c. o. D.
He then went to Newcastle and while ex-
amininE the ring substituted a cheap one
for it. The paste ring was returned to
the jewsler, but he promptly refused to
accept it and held tho American Express
company responsible for the value Of the
ring. The company has since betn look
ing for the man and the ring. Chief DON
ohue assigned a special man to meet the
sheriff and his man and accompany them
to the pawnship. Tha broker admitted
that he purchased the diamond ring and
had sold 1t to a travelling man representing
a New York suitcase house, but did not
know where he was at the present time.
The sheriff returned home with his pris-
oner who was recently sentenced by Judge
II. d. Travis in district court in this city
to serve five years in the state PEN
itentiary, after he had pleaded guilty to
the charge Of having swindled a Nebraska
City jeweler out of a diamond ring in the
same way he did the jeweler in Sheridan.
