Miller throws well and is a wonder at

Here is what Hans Lobert, the Phil

curves quite recently:
Here and there an occasional pitch
er tries all sorts of gyrating shoots,
usually to the detriment of the base on
balls record. The veterans and even
the wise youngsters. however, just rely
on the fast straight ball thrown from
different angels and hence seeming to
curve. or on the fast ball with n hop
ball that takes Il little jump as ii
nears the plate chats the so called
breaking of the curve)-or on slow ones
chucked. like the fast straight balls
from different angles. The big wide
curves that they used to throw don't
happen any more. Wingo Anderson
was one of the last to use a roundhouse
curve, and he couldn't get control
Drop curves, so called. used to be
thrown with Il jerk that wore a mans
arm all to pieces. Beyond doubt Buff
fington and Ramsay threw actual drop
curves that had speed on them, but
the modern pitcher simply fires slant
ing ball from overhead

Two years ago it had to be acknowl-
edged that the National league catch
ers outclassed those of the American

rial in this league to compare with
! King, Archer, Doom, Bresnahan, Glib
son and others of that caiber. But
there has been a change. The Ameri-
can league seems to be on fair way
to develop catching staff which will
equal any the National league has ever
had.

FINEST couple in the world, living.
in the tiniest home, are waiting
the coming of the tifliest baby. E
The couple are. Jimmie Burnett
and Mrs. Jimmie, and Jimmie is
SO fused up that he's neglecting
his store and his lodges, too.
When you say Jimmie-is skip
ping his lodge nights, you are
saying, something, for Jimmie, as.
the smallest Master Mason and
the smallest Odd Fellow; in the
world, feels called upon to take,
the biggest interest in lodge do
ings.
Jimmie is only43 inches, short;
Mrs. Jimmie is a giantess, tow
ering all of one and a half inches
above her husband.
They were married four years,

Jimmie, who was Lou Majors, of

picture IN his. dress parade uni
form as an Odd Fellow.
She was so stuck on the picture
that she wrote him, and enclosed
her photograph. Jimmie took one
look at the photograph and hop
ped a train for Mississippi. The
elopment and marriage fol-
lowed.
Jimmie comes from a family of
smidgets. His father, brothers and
sisters all were small, so the
family doctor is expecting the
stork to fetch the smallest baby
that ever made a proud papa tote
it, over miles of carpet tacks at 8
O'Clock in the morning, to the

PAPER From Bamboo Cane.

Before very long it will be quite. u.s.
ual to make paper from bamboo cane
An Edinburg firm, which specializes in
the making of plants for producing pa
per from bamboo, sent out two COM
plete factory equipments TO the far
east, one to convert cane into pulp,
and the other to transform that pulp
into fine white paper. On site near
Kagi (Japan) factory is being in
stalled with every requisite to deal,
in the first place with only 300 tons of
pulp per month, but with room for
any development. Just as the wood
pulp of Norway, Sweden, Russia and
Finland is shipped to the United King
dom, so will the pulp be. treated in
Formosa and shipped in rolls or sheets
to the paper mills, at Koke. 1t is
hoped that eastern mills will be able
to complete with British and Ameri-
can imported paper of the finer quail
ties, though at present the process of
manufacture from bamboo is !. "a more
expensive one than that from wood.
Bamboo, however, can be grown in
any quantity. Asia, Africa, America
and Oceania have forests of the plant,
and experiments may cheaper the pro-
cess, while the supply of the cane is
practically insyhaustible. Christian
