When l completed my college course
at the University of Illinois went
out to make my living. My people
had sacrificed themselves to send ms
to college.
Now I had gone to Hyde Park high
school in Chicago to fit myself for a
college career. I liked baseball and
pitched for the high school team,
which was a good one, but was always
neglecttng baseball in order to study.
When 1 went to the university 1t was
the same way; I wanted to make
something of myself and planned
mechanical experts career. They
persuaded me to pitch for the Varsity
team and I gave it as much time as
my studies allowed.
When l finished at school I felt I
owed something to my people for edu-
eating me. had gained some honors
at school and because Of this I re-
ceived an offer Of $50 a month to
work at the profession I had spent
three years studying.
At the same time a semi-profes-

developed powerful liking for the
parson.
Seeing the old chapel vacant, the
idea struck him Of turning it into a
boxing saloon, run on lines of absolute
fairness, thereby drawing the toughs
of Blackfriars within reach of his
friend Toms influence. When he put
the question to the minister, whether
he would take hand in the punching

that McAleer can be of just as much

Russell Ford.

The wonderful success of Russell
Ford, the star pitcher of the High

velopment of a freak spit ball curve.
Lajoie was unable to find it the other
day and did not get single drive off
the young architect. The regular spit
ball is thrown by covering the tips of
the first and second fingers with saliva
so that the ball will slip off those fin
gers and not take a rotary motion.
The ball therefore gets its direction
from the thumb and wobbles to the
plate in peculiar jerky fashion. The
only trouble with that curve is the

inability of the pitcher to make it
break "fn" or "out" to the batter ac-
cording to the wishes of the twirler.
Ford has solved that problem by In
venting way of making the curve
break in. Ford found that by moisten-
ing the knuck1e of his third finger
with saliva the bell would slip off from
the side instead of the tips of the fin
gers, and as there is no friction on the
right side of the ball 1t would gradual
ly drop inside" of the plate. He con-
trolls 1t perfectly. He can also make
the ball break outward by moistening
the thumb.

Boy lie Healed by Prayer.

Kansas City, MOTOR more than a

night and day that their boy, Paul.
helpless with infantile paralysis, might
be healed. Then, one morning the boy
rose from the bed at seven o'clock and
walked to the breakfast table and ate.
He raised his arms almost as freely
as before the dread malady attacked
him, and the right leg, useless for
ten days and nights, supported him
and moved as he willed it to do.

WHEN THE BODY Is ASLEEP
University Professor Tells OF Results
Noted After a Series Of
Experiments.

Prof r VI. Wenley Of the univer-
sity OF Michigan. has just concluded a
series of experiments. the results OF
which seem TO completely disprove a
long accepted theory as TO the cause
Of sleep. II has been said that natural
loss of consciousness is due to a les
sened flow of blood to the brain.
Professor Wenley declares that his ex-
periments have shown the opposite.
His summary of what has been
demonstrated is:
The size or volume OF the brain in.
creases when the fndividuaf goes to
sleep and decreases when he awakes
The size of the hands and feet in
crease when the man is asleep and
become smaller when he is awake.
In some cases the brain becomes
smaller at first and then increases as
sleep becomes deeper.
Striking evidence is furnished that
the size of the arterial pulse from the
brain increases steadily with increase
In volume. that is. the dilating of the
arteries after each beat Of the heart
is more pronounced. This IL particu.
