WHEEL PROBLEMS.
Does the Edge of the Wheel Revolvs
Around the Axle?


Around the Axle?
The wheel that turns under the
locomotive or the car has a long and
queer history" says writer in the
Railroad Mans Magazine. but the
mystery is still with us and whirls its
hundred question marks before our
eyes every minute of the day.
"Of course every one believes that
the edge OF the wheel goes around the
axle But does Il: Take the end of
any spoke near The tire or any part of
the tire and on still. MINDLESS night
fasten candle 10 il; then back off till
nothing can be seen but that candle
flame.
LET the wheel revolye slowly, free
from the ground. The candle flame
makes a circle of fire all right and
goes around the axle Now lower the
wheel until it rests on the ground and
start AHEAD. The flame suddenly stops
going in circle and begins to make
a wayy line, hrst high and then low
1t goes around nothing at all
Men with clear minds can perform
the experiment satisfactorily by tying
q handkerchief around the tire in day
light, but to do this takes keen math-
ematical imagination, because the eye
is confused by other moving objects
and is not able to see the handkerchief
free from these other influences.
"At night the candle fame alone can
be seen, so that is perhaps the best
time to try the matter out. Tie q
torch to q locomotive driver and then
send the engine slowly back and forth
while the observer is off some hundred
feet distant in the dark. The torch
does not move in a circle. 1t simply
goes ahead somewhat like flying ma
chine rising and falling in the wind,
coming to q dead stop at its lowest
point and going twice as fast as the
engine when at its highest point.
"The fact that the bottom of an
engine wheel always stands still is
more easy to learn than the fact that
the top of the wheel moves just twice
as fast as the train. but this can be
proved easily with a piece Of board.
''Take a piece OF board, say, ten feet
long and lay one end on top of the
wheel. Now move the engine forward
two feet and you will find that the
board has gone ahead four feet, just
twice as far as the engine. Lay down
the board and tie two pieces of string
TO the wheel, one at the top and the
other at the bottom, where it rests on
the ground Now run your engine for
ward two feet and see what happens.
The bottom string has moved forward,
too, but not nearly so far as has the
top piece of string, although the ends
were even at the start"

ANIMALS IN A FRENZY.
There's Danger Afoot When Captive
Wild Beasts go Bad"

WIG Beasts 10 BaCs
What those who have charge of wild
animals in captivity, and especially
trainers, dread most among the large
beasts is that inexplicable change Of
temperament on the part Of the anil
NAL known in the parlance Of the me-
nagerie as 'going bad"
Lions are likely to go bad about the
tenth year Of life; tigers, two or three
years earlier. The male tiger is the
dread of the profession when he
reaches this condition, because he is
more likely to go into frenzy without
warning. and once gone bad nothing
will satisfy him but murder.
He win leap for any man within
reach, and when once his teeth are on
the bone nothing but fire will make
him relinquish it, and not always that.
This "going bad" may come in the
nature of q sudden attack or it may
develop slowly and be counteracted if
taken in time. An old trainer can
usually detect the symptoms of this
curious ailment 1t seems to be in
the nature of disease, and other ami
mails recognize it and shun the affect
ed one.
When its progress is apparent the
danger is not great. All that is re-
quired then is a level head and the
wisdom to refrain from further inter-
ference with the animal.
Sometimes this bad temper win last
but a short time, and again it will be-
come the permanent condition Of the
animal. In that case he is sent to the
lonely cage to spend the rest Of his
life in comparative obseurity, dis
turbed merely by the passing crowd
and his daily meals.-Pearson's Week

Proselyting Causes Princi-
pals to Take Athletic
Matters In Hand.
CHARGES ARE TO BE
SIFTED TO BOTTOM
Managers of Teams At Standstill
Until Games Have Been Set
BY Faculty Advisers.

That the faculty directors have no.
definitely decided on the schedule OF
interhigh school baseball games and
have not adjusted matters in relation to
the park for the series, is occasioned, II
was learned today, by the fact thai
the principals Of the high schools have
had athletic matters in their hands fo-
some time.
Following the knowledge that prose
iyting was being carried on In tn,
schools, the principals got together AMI
the matters were talked over without a
definite decision being reached. 1t was
understood that the charges were laid
before the body, and that the matter
would be sifted to the bottom. To date
there has been no report to the board
of principals.
There has been a telling on the part
OF the faculty advisers that their work
was more or less criticised in regard TO
the eligibility rules passed not long ago,
and the feeling seems to have been that
nothing active would be carried on un-
til told to go ahead by the heads of ths
high schools.
Only tentative dates have been set for
the interhigh school schedule, as gotten
from the schedule of the American
League. The managers of the school
teams are at a standstiIl. waiting until
the games have been set by the faculty
advisers before scheduling more.
The advisers are appointed by the
principals, one from each school, and.
while they have received no notice to
proceed with the regular spring meet
ing, viii rest until told to go ahead,

JOHNSONS CONTRACT
REMAINS UNSIGNED
Pitcher Holds Lengthy Con-
ference With Manager
McAleer.
PRESIDENT MOVES
GOING TO ATLANTA
Hitch on Promised Increase Over
Salary Paid Idaho Boy
Last Year.
By SENATOR"

ATLANTA, Ga, March 11.-Walter
johnson. the Nationals crack twirlerr
has vet to sign a contract for the season
OF 1911, and a long conference between
him and Manager NcAleer resulted in
nothing.
It is probable that President Noyes
will have tc carry negotiations through
before the strong armed hoy from Idaho
agrees to play ball for Washington.
The Nationals magnate is expected to
come to Atlanta before the team leaves
and Johnson may then sign a contract
suitable to him.
Johnson declines to speak Of his con-
tract difference with the club except
that he has reported and is willing 10
carry out his end Of an agreement made
last season. This agreement called for
a substantial raise i'll salary following
a successful season.
OF course everybody knows that john
son was the sensation Of the American
League in 1910. and now he expects the
club to come through with its promise.
Johnson Stands Firm.
Manager MCAleer discussed contracts
with johnson for fully an hour, but he
could not swerve the pitcher from his
stand. Their conversation was in low
tones, and neither will speak of it. 1t is
very likely that Manager McAlcer will
report the situation to President Noyes
and theta will settle il when he
comes to Atlanta.

Will line up as follows:

Cunningham, second base.
Mcbride or ConrOy, shortStop.
Elberfeld or Bunting, third base.
Street or Ainsmith, catcher.
Otis, Bussey, Sherry, pitcher.

Orioles Gobble Up
Product of Capital

Another amateur from the lots of
Washington has been gobbled up by a
professional team. This time 1t is Phil
Buscher, the big twirler who was such
big factor in the winning of the Dis
trict championship for the Cornell team,
Of the Capital City League, and who
has signed to play with Jack Dunn, OF
the Baltimore Orioles.
Buscher was undoubtedly one of the
best amateur pitchers in the District,
and IT was his work that helped to
place the Cornell team at the top. He
has been ordered to report at Baltimore
on March I6.
The Washington times., 1911-03-10

can do. He hits the ball on the nose
and is fast in leaving the plate. Unless
something happens in the next couple
of weeks, Bunting is almost certain to
make his appearance before the Wash
ington fans.
Yesterday McAleer went out to third
base and shouted instructions to him
how to field balls hit to his right and
straight in front of him with a bound.
For ten minutes Kahoe batted all kinds
OF grounders his way, and then Nc
Aleer. smiling with pleasure at his good
showing, sent him to the clubhouse for
rundown.
Pitchers Taking Turns.
with the exception of Bobby Groom,
all the pitchers in the squad threw to
the batters, Gray and Otey mixing in a
few curves with the straight balls.
Groom is taking his time, and will not
exert himself much until real warm
weather strikes the town.
Gray put plenty of stuff on the ball,
and had some of the boys swinging wide
at his slants. Doc" GessIer caught
vne. however, and sent it screaming
over Warren Miller's head in right field.
The work of the Nationals in the
field is becoming faster and faster every
day. Under the watchful eye of Jim
my McAleer the boys worked like
beavers. Ca bly, Street was at the
plate, with Lelivelt on first, Cunning
ham at second, Elberfeld at third, and
Captain Mcbride working in the short
field. All kinds of drives were snapped
or knocked down and imaginary plays
pulled of at lightning speed. -
McAleer is always calling for speed
and more speed, and the infieiders were
not excused until they were painting
from their eXertions.
John Somerlott is losing chances of
landing a regular place with the team
by his absence. Lelivelt is becoming
more accustomed to the position with
each days practice, and seems almost
certain of starting the season at that
corner. He is being coached on taking
low thrown balls and doing very well,
too, overcoming his weakness of last
wear,

McALEER SATISFIED
WTTHHISPITCE1ERS
Nationals Recruits Expected to Develop Several Able
Assistants for Corps of Veterans Who Will Do the
Bulk of the Slab Work This Season.
By SENATOR"

ATLANTA. March To.-The Nationals
corps of pitchers, while not particularly
large, contains the nucleus of strong
staff. Walter Johnson, of course, Is the
mainstay of the club in the box, but out OF
the eight other twirlers II is expected that
four or possibly five will be retained to
work in turn. Just which men will lie
kept will not be determined until the
lsst minute, as Manager McAleer does
not want to lose any star by merely
overlooking him.
Every team wants good pitchers -
says McAleer. and we are looking for
sood ones, like everybody else. You
can't tell much about a pitcher until
he is in condition, and shall not drop
any of them until they've had fair
chance TO show what they have. II
the Nationals get four good workable
pitchers, men to be depended upon to
do their share OF work, when needed,
well. we'll go along beating some Of
the strongest clubs just when they
think we are due for a defeat"
Harvey Bussey, Richmond's crack
twirler of last season, reported in eA-
Cellent condition. He has a knuckle
ball very much like Eddie" Cicottes
and Eddie" Summers. It breaks"

IL Ought to be hard. to hit. Bussey is a
veteran, his long suit being control

of seeirs hlg league form in his style.
Hughes, the Peerless.
Tom Hughes, the peerless leader Of
the American Association last year, Is
in shape, but is using great care with
his pitching arm. He has worlds OF
speed, but will hardly tear loose any
curves until the warmer weather.
Doc Meyer has gained in weight dur
ing the winter, and expects to show
his best style this season. When going
right Meyer is a real classy workman.
and Prof. Joe Quirk is taking the best
of care of him.
Dixie Walker should have a better
year than he had last year. reporting
in good condition and requiring moth
ing but plenty of work to do his best.
Thus far he has not attempted to strain
his arm with wide benders or very great
speed.
Right now it looks as if Johnson,

ster, who has splitter. Kahoe has him
in charge, and most likely will give
the final word as to his form.
Right now Manager McAleer is not
worrying overmuch as to the form of
his pitching candidates. He prefers to
wait awhile and let things develop
before adding to his gray
hairs and the shortness of his days.

nothing like that; but he Is thinking
