Well, Why Isn't Such
a Ball a Legal Strike9 ?

John F. Morrill, says that Rad
bourne, the famous Boston and
Providence pitcher, tried to get
away with" his scheme Of getting
strikes ON the batsman by
bounding the ball over the plate
between the knee and shoulder"
with all the umpires before he
gave II up. Rad" had a wide
out-curve, and, when the ball
struck the ground. 1t broke the
other way, to the confusion of
the batsman, and the pitcher
conceived the idea that the break
from the, ground would greatly
increase his effectiveness.

Famous Receiver Fails to Report at

in the Boston CNational League) baseball
camp. This afternoon Johnny King,
after catching Saturdays game for Bos-

what the trouble is nobody seems to
know Just now, but the supposition is
that not only is there a salary differ
