THE SLOW BALL

slow ball or floater. He encrcles the top of the
ball with his fingers, and has his thumb under
meath. When he releases the ball he spreads out
his fingers to avoid friction, which would cause

When thrown right the ball does not make a
single complete revolution but to wabble
in the air. This ball is good one tc mix in, be-

Here is a mysterious man whose
name and face are known wher-
ever sports congregate. He is a
little fellow who jumped from the
ranks into International fame one
afternoon. He is at the top of a
big class of rugged, sturdy young
fellows whose names decorate the
sporting pages day after day.
Another picture will be printed

Mattys fast ball is next to the fadeaway in
effectiveness He grips the ball between the thumb
and first and second fingers and throws it with all
his speed. The ball takes quick jump to the
right just before 1t reaches the batter. Without
the jump the ball would be easy to hit. The fast
ball used in the majors is called inshoot on
the sand lots. Mattys wonderful speed comes
into play when he throws his fast ball. The
twist given as it leaves the hand makes the ball

Tho Democrat gangs mouthpiece
having taken up the burden OF dis
cussing postoftice matters under
very disappointing circumstances to
itself, 1t is well to point out just
how little that newspaper knows
about such matters
For instance, Tuesday. November
22, the sage published the follow
ing:
The postmasters of the First
congressional district are hardly in
the frame OF mind to feel very
thankful on Thursday next. They
fully relaize that the result of the
recent election comGletely cut the
ground from under them
The competency Of its prophetic
powers is shown by the following,

When It arrived at the new FIRE, the

saved to have paid for the addi-

be taken now toward obtaining it.

The Galapagos islands owe their
name to the galapago, or giant tur-
tie, which produced great impress

the islands in the sixteenth century.
There are at least seven species of
this turtle, each one keeping strict

little communication with its neigh

. by Ecuador as a penal settlement
for political offenders, who are
rather numerous in Ecuador, the
climate making them less unpleas-
ant place Of confinement than many
of the regions under the equator.
They are the most remarkable
group of islands in the Pacific. Oar

Redwood in Line For ArmOry.


Co. L and citizens of Redwood
Falls are very much pleased over the
chances of securing the first appro-
priation of 100000 for armory
aid. One thousand dollars has been
solicited by our citizens, which. with
the lots already secured by L. Co.,
can be turned over to the state i'm
medlately, in order to conform with
the new armory law, to-wit, that
the city raise 81. 1000 to be deposited
with the state treasurer and also
deed lots to the state; the state will
then appropriate the sum of $4,000
to construct an armory. Redwood
has practically been settled upon to
receive one of the first appropria-
tions.
1t will depend to a great extent
on the number of enlisted men the
company has on the next monthly
report. 1t is necessary that we have
at least the minimum, which is As,
including officers, gain Of 16 over
our last report.
Those who are interested in the
welfare of the city and L. Co. can
help both with but little effort.
The business men of our city have
done their part in securing the arm
DRY by subscribing the necessary
1000 and it is now up to the old
members of Co. L, who have been
saying they would re-enlist as soon
as an armory was assured, to get
busy and again don the khaki and
shoulder their rifles and commence
their weekly drills. Let US all put
our shoulders to the wheel and do
our part for the armory, for if there
is place in the state that needs it,
that place is Redwood Falls. Let
everybody push!
