NEW COLLEGE SPORT.
Boomerang Throwing Now Being Tried
OUT at Missouri University.

Not 50 very long ago aeroplaning
was the latest word IN athletics. and
while the representatives Of the big
eastern colleges were busily engaged
in framing an intercollegiate aero So
ciety the athletes of the western insti-
tutions Of learning were not idle. Now
boomerang throwing has become the
final word in college games, and the
University of Missouri is the sponsor
for this latest form Of sport.
Two professors and one student have
been experimenting with boomerangs
at the University OF Missouri. The
boomerangs belong to L. B. Millar.
Several attempts have been made at
throwing them BY Millar. a senior in
the school Of engineering, and by Dr.
III M. Reese and Or. o. M. Stewart OF
the faculty. Although AIillar lived in
Australia until he was twenty years
old, be never mastered the art Of using
the native weapon. Boomerangs are
scarce. even In Australia. being found
only in tho interior. The natives in
the civilized parts Of the continent do
not make them. They still form the
chief weapons of the cannibals and
partly civilized Inhabitants, however.
While they are used in killing game.
their chief use is TO frighten animals
from hiding places.
There is delicate art ID throwing
boomerangs. It requires more skill
than strength It is good sport. how
ever, and interesting as well as health
ful. The students at the Missouri uni
versity have become greatly interested
in the new sport and propose forming

Star Ball Tossers Do Many Stunts on

Ball players get into some queer hab-
its. Take Frank Chance, manager Of
the Chicago Cubs. for example. Chance
is the victim Of habit, caused by the
signal system. Every fan who has
seen Chance bat remembers the mo-
tions he always goes through before
taking actual position at bat, He
walks out from the bench and stands
in the batting box. SO far he acts as
any player, But then comes bis hab-
IT He puts the bat between his knees
and jerks bis belt Then BIZ grabs the
bat and swings rapidly
This jerking at his belt is a habit
which he simply can't get away from
He does it mechanically, he says. Sew

separate and distinct meaning in base
BALL Since that time other signals
have been hatched for these plays. hut
Chance got so into the habit that it
has become part Of his baseball life
So be bitches up his trousers.
Hughey Jennings habits have be-
come famous throughout the circuit.
In every i.7tance they started from
signals. Whenever he pulls at the
grass near the coaching box, kicks one
leg into the air and throws both hands
out with a loud resounding "E-yahe
the fans laugh and say. There's Jen-
nings again."
Each one OF these things once had Il
separate and distinct meaning to tie
batter or the runner. Jennings sim
bly, couldn't stand In the coaching box
today without going. through his rig
marole What was once a vital thing
now has become fixed habit in his
playing life.

wanted the batter to bunt or to let
the first one go by. Now Hans uses
it without noticing. 1t has grown to
be a part Of him. 80

Up to this day We have had books OF many
kinds dealing with the Cuban war; pamphlets

to Spain; Spanish publications which mlsrepre-
scented grossly the attitude OF the United states;
articles in European newspapers almost unani-

Spain Of her colony.
Now, however, we have the facts presented
almost without any comments and certainly with
out establishment by a Spaniard who loves his
country and frankly detests the Americans.
Once or twice he registers a protest against
the senate's decision concerning the recognition
of delinquency or the campaign Of defamation
directed against him in American papers.
He complains that in March, 1886. when he
had the situation well under control, the senate
Of the United States interfered most unfairly, for
it recognized the belligerency Of the insurgents.

This is less convincing than the majority OF
his arguments, for if We compare dates we find
letters in which he admits his failure to stop the
progress Of the inSurrcctiOn.
His gravest charge against the United States
is contained in the following paragraph, which
is too vague to be taken as seriously as some
other statements of his:
The United States were against everything
that would bring about a termination of the war
American citizens held several millions worth of
Cuban bonds. issued with the provision that the
island would pass under the domination Of the
United States ten years after Cuba would have

the peninsula should have robbed all the gossip
which originated in America"
But on the whole the picture his letters and
reports, as well as the letters Of Martinez Cam.
