The pitcher is ah ish.salarlcd con,
tortionist who is usually padded, with
self esteem and 81 bills. He earns a
living by posing as the human windlass
and striking out somebody with the
bases full. Every successful pitcher
has wind-up that resembles rat
terrier with the duplex vertigo. 1t
fakes some pitchers 10 long to wind
up that the batter becomes dizzy and
can't hit anything but the intervening
atmosphere or wild pitch. Some

Among the things which Congress
will be likely to consider this session
will be the proposed memorial amphi.
theater for the national cemetery at
Arlington. President Taft has called
attention anew 10 the subject by rec.
ommending that Congress construct
this amphithcatcr on plan that has
already been approved. He made the
same recommendation last year, though
nothing came of IT,
II Is hardly expected that, in view
OF the wave Of economy talk at the
Capitol, there will be provision made
for the structure.
The plans are for marble amphi-
theater which would cost $3.50, 900. Thev
were evolved by architects in New
York who were employed by com
mission authorized by act OF Congress.
House leaders are trying to sup
press a public building bill, and in
view Of this effort they are likely to
from on plan to spend three.quarters
of a million at Arlington. But the
question may come up and be threshed
out.
Considerable difference OF opinion
about the wisdom Of it has developed
Many old soldiers are opposed to it,
They take the view that Arlington is
one Of the most beautiful spots in the

full appearance of the grounds.
