Mr.. Herman explained hts position
and expressed indignation that those
who had insisted on y meeting seinE

failed to put In an Appearances "A
number Of business men, dissatisfied
with the action Of the council Ia s>ase>
ing a resolution for the purchase ~ the

Herman, had asked that the meeting
be called for the purpose of Raising
$3.50 or more to DO applied toward par
chasing a high power car instead ef the

Mr.. Herman said that the business
men interested had agreed 10 put ar

being the opinion of those Interested
that the car now in service WAS made
quate to the needs OF the department.
The money promised. said Mr. Her

council to pay the difference between
the cost Of the K1ssel kar and q car

he was in favor Of the purchase Of n

he did not think it good business pol
icy to buy q car which could not be

been for the insistence OF interested
citizens who. when the time for ac-

absence. He declared that II made him
feel that he would be justified in vot-
ing to buy the Kissel kar in service
and another car on top Of 1t" Mr..
Herman said he was not opposed to the
Kissel Kar but he was against the
purchase OF the car which has been In
stalled. as he believed 1t would not

CURVED BALL is EXPLAINED
Professor Franklin Explains Mystery
to Students of Columbia UNI
Versity Summer School.

The "why" of a baseball curve
should no longer be a mystery, at
least to the students of the Columbia
University Summer school. In a lee
ture on the Science of Baseball
Curves" Prof. w. S. Franklin ex-
planned it all as follows:
THE whole secret of a curved ball
lies In the relation of the pressure to
the velocity and vice versa, each ball
creating its own pressure by the We
locity and the spin that the pitcher
gives it as it leaves his hand.
Daniel Bernouill, Swiss physi-
cist, who died in 1852, was the man
who discovered the principle. He was
observing a stream of water that
flowed through wide pools and mar
row shoals. In the pools he soon
found that the pressure was very
great, while the velocity was almost
nothing; in the shoals he saw that
the velocity was very swift. while the
pressure had almost disappeared.
"This is the principle that governs
the flight and curve of a ball. If
the ball sails straight through air.
with no spin, the air is pushed aside
equally in all directions and the ball
is directly under the control Of gray
ity, so far as its curve is concerned
and it soon falls to the ground;
whereas, if the front of the ball is
given a downward spin there is in
addition to the straight forcing aside
of the air circulation motion of the
air around the ball. This motion be
ing over and then under the ball tends
to increase the speed with which the
air passes beneath the ball and re-
tards it above the ball"

iwirlers could stand. Unusual capac-
Ity for work and exceptional pitch
Ing ability are attributes Of the iron
men of the mound.
The first pitcher to whom the term
was applied was Joe McGinnity, and
he came into it not so much because
of the frequency with which he
pitched as his capacity for double
headers. To this day he goes into
the box often, and few pitchers have
worn so well.
There are two other leading ex-
ponents of the iron man business.
One is Ed Walsh of the White Sox,
the most noted Of the three, and the
other is Jack Coombs. Coombs isn't
pitching as frequently as he did last
year, but his capacity for work,
coupled with his skill as a boxman,
tided Connie Mack and the Athletics
over many a rough spot and pulled
out many game in which some
other pitcher had wobbled.
Coombs, like Walsh, could stand
being hurled into the breach many a
time beyond the ordinary, and then
his expertness on the peak did the
rest. Walsh probably has pitched
in more games a year for the length
of time he has been in the game than
any other pitcher baseball has known.
It was predicted half dozen years
ago that the inordinate wear and tear
would get him, but he is still at it,
and as effective, If not as strong, as
ever. He is a spitball pitcher too,
another thing supposed to be very
trying. but he contends that with him
that form Of delivery is no more ex-
acting on the arm than any other
way of pitching.

BUSINESS SIDE OF BASEBALL
Fifty Millions of People Witness Pro-
fessionaI Games Annually,
Paying $15,ooo,o00.

The people of the United States
spend approximately $15,000,000 a
year to see baseball games. The total
number of persons registered at all
professional ball games during a sea-
son reaches 50,000,000, Current Litera-
ture asserts. So rapid has been the
growth of baseball enthusiasm that
so we are told by Edward Mott Wool
ley-owners of baseball teams predict
the time when the aggregate of base
ball patronage, including major and
minor leagues, will be 100000, 900.
They believe baseball to be still in its
infancy, and on this prophecy they are
stalking their cash in monster stadi-
ums Of iron and stone and laying out
business plans to take care of their
profits that they count up in the mil
lions. As a business investment, we
are assured, baseball has United

The report is persistent that Bres-

have Ruggins as leader of the team
next year.
We keep hearing all the time that
Hank O'Day is through at Cincinnati,
and that Harry Davis is all in at
Cleveland. Ohio is a bad place for
budding managers.
1t is said that Manager McGraw of
the New York Giants is sweet on
Arnold Hauser of the Cardinals, and

the clever shortstop.
