guards on the beach front for the season
of 1912. There is never a dearth of ap-

Throwing "the Fadeaway."
ewson. In st. Nicholas.

Christy Mathewson. In st. Nicholas.
Many persons have asked me how
throw the fadeaway. The explanation 10
simple: when the out-curve is thrown.
the ball Is allowed to slip off the end
of the thumb with a spinning motion that
causes 1t to bend away from a right
handed batter. The hand is held up.
Now, If the wrist were turned over and
the hand held down, so that the ball
would slip off the thumb with twist
ing motion. but, because the wrist was
reversed, would leave the hand with
the thumb toward the body instead Of
away from 1t, ] figured that an in-cdrvc
to right-handed batters would result. That
is how the fadeaway is pitched. The
hand is turned over until the palm is
toward the ground instead Of toward tho
sky, as when the out-curve Is thrown.
and the ball is permitted to twist off the
thumb with a peculiar snap of the wrist.
The ball is gripped in the same way ~
for an out-curve.

A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin Of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.

Origin OF a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.
Nine master nasons who were en-
gagged In building a citadel in the time
Of the Voivoid Neagoe found ON re-
turning to their work each morning
that the portion of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
Ell to pieces during the night and was
lying in heap of ruins In the ditch.
Manol Of Curtea, the head mason, in
formed his comrades one morning that
voice from heaven had warned him
In his sleep the night before that their
labors would continue to come to
nauSht unless they all swOre on that
very morning TO immure In the struc.
turc the first woman, be It wife. moth
er, daughter or sister. who should ar
rive with the morning meal of one or
either Of them. They all took the oath.
and the last man had hardly been
sworn when Manol's own wife appear
ed, carrying her husbands breakfast.
The oath was kept, and the woman,
known In the legend as "Flora of the
Fields" WAS murdered and her blood
and flesh Incorporated with the wall OF
masonry.
A curious practice OF the Bulgarian
masons Qhe above scene Is laid In Bul-
saria), which survives to this day. tes'
tifies to the vitality Of the legend. TO
Insure the solidity OF tho house they
build they measure with reed the
shadow Of the first person who passes
after the digging OF the foundation
has been completed. When the foun
dation Is commenced this reed is buried
under the first rock. usually the corner
stone.
