How to Handicap Pitcher.


Some think that a slight increase IN
the size OF the ball would bring about
the d, sired results. Others suggest on
increase en- the pitching distance, while
giving a batsman his base on three IN
stead of four called balls is another ham
dicap suggestion. the theory beiug thai
pitchers. In order to avoid giving h9scs
IN balls, would pitch more straight ones.
However. all OF these suggestions seem
Inore radical than the plan Of compelling
pitchers 20 return 20 the old rule of de-
liyeriug q high or low ball az the request
OF tha batsman. Some batsmen wh1 can
not hit a high ball can kill a low one,
and vice versa. The successful pitchers
soon learn the peculiarities Of each indi-
vidual batsman and act accordingly,
pitching high balls 10 the men who like
low cnes and low ones 10 the high ball
Ntters. Were they compelled to give the
batsman the sort OF ball he asks for the
hitting would be increased materially
and shut-out and no-hit games would be
less frequent Naturally. such a change
would entail more work for the umpjra.
for the exact height Of fast drop ball
close 20 the waist line might often be
difficult TO Judge. but the verdict Of the
umpire would settle the matter so far
as the batsman goes. Just as do all his
decisions now. and with a strict enforce
ment Of the no kicking rule the high
and low ball proposition would make no
difference in the appearance Of the game.
high ball would have 70 pass over the
plate no higher than the shoulder and
no lower than the waist OF the batsman.
while the limit OF the low ball territory
would be between the waist and the knee
When pitchers worked under these rules
they had greater leeway in the matter
Of called balls than now. but they seem

made 20 live UP to present rules with this
one additional handicap. The Fingers"
would still have their drops. curves. and
shoots TO work at will. and It Is probable
that In some Instances their effectiveness
would be as marked as under the pres
ent rules But taken all the way through.
the batsmen would fare better than now.
and as a result there would be more hit

worth a trial at least

Here's a New Invention for
Toasting and Cooking Stuff

"To what strange uses may we

tragedy of Hamlet, and that the
Dane was right was amply illus
trated this morning.
The man who did the illustrating
was a street laborer, working for
one of the paving companies, but
he developed an inventive turn of
mind, suggestive of an embryo
Edison.
1t was the noon hour and he
opened his lunch bucket. In the
bucket were a couple of egg sand
witches, and he concluded that he
wanted a little variety in his
lunch, and that one slice of bread
would be enough for each sand

extra slices should become toast.

The Temperate Man

Who is the temperate man? Is
it he who cannot take a glass Of
beer without a desire to swallow
distillery or by treating to induce
his friends to become insane with
him by over-indulgence of intoxi-
cants, and because this misuse of
beer is a detriment to his health he
wants his fellowman who knows
how to use it to quit it also. He
wants to make dry town out of
his community. Such man is a
crank, a fanatic pure and simple,
who has followed in the wake of a
few dyspeptic drinkers that have
become dyspeptic by over-indul-
gence by this method of over-treat-
ing and overriding what might be
a godsend to sensible humanity.

IN THE CASE

there was more prospect than pay
to his work.
He was advanced rapidly. and
in five years was receiving teller
of the bank, big, responsible

hundreds of thousands of dollars,
while his salary
Well, perhaps we'd better eX-
plain. Bank presidents make big
salaries, have fine houses. autos,
yachts. But bank clerks are paid
on the same principle that other
kinds of working people are: Get
them as cheap as You can"
So that Thurman, according to
his associates in the bank. after
five or six years there, reaching to
the teller's office, guarded thou
sands of dollars of other men
money for SIS a month.
However that may be, it was gen
orally known to his friends that he
was Disseminated He vowed at
times he would quit the bank and
work on the docks or in a logging
camp.
The iron was being slowly driven
year by year, into his soul. So
much money in his care, so pitiful-
ly little his to keep.
For SIS a month doesn't go very
far these days. His father, after a
long battle with illness. had died.
There were big doctors and under
takers bills to meet. AS soon as
he made a little money it slipped
away. Always there was his moth
er to care for. Probably Frank
Thurman would have broken away
from the bank years ago and start
ed out to make his living with his
two hands if he could have been
assured of her comfort.
One other thing he couldn't for
get. OF the other bright young
fellows who had graduated with
him, nearly all were doing we'll.
They had good jobs, many had
married, some had speculated in
tide flat lands and made them
selves independent-while Fuhr-
man had always the struggle to
live.
Then the big opportunity came
The chance to buy timber and log

money But it would pay big.
Now if Thurman had been one of
Tacomas 500 biggest business
men all he'd have had to do would
be to go into any bank presidents
office, explain the situation, sign
few papers and walk out with
money enough to swing the deal.
But a SIS a month, or a 500 a
month bank clerk can't do that
You need credit, influence, bust

have these He was barred.
A fortune lay within his grasp.
But he couldn't reach out and take

enough.
What agony of soul Frank Fuhr'
man went through he only knows
But-he fell.
He knows he could have paid the
money back The bank people ad'
NIT it. If he could have borrowed
that money, he'd be respected to-
day. He couldn't, and was driven
desperate. .,.....,
Perhaps the years when he work

without one penny doing for drink
