FORD'S NEW SPLITTER
Yankees Star TWiTIer Adds An
other Variety to Collection.
Champion SpitbalI Artist Unearths
Another Slant That is Expected to
Puzzle the Heavy SIuggers of
American League.

Just discovered a new splitter that
Is the best ever"
Russell Ford, the New York Yam
KEGS star finger and champion spit
ball pitcher of the country, sent a
postal to a friend in New York that
bore the above message
Russ had fourteen different assert
ments last season and now he has dis
covered another. What chance will
the poor batters-T Cobb, S. Craw-
ford, N. Lajoie, T. Speaker and j.
Jackson-have when they face Ford
this year? If Izzy Ham were laying
odds it's a cinch he would use the
sponge quickly. But Yankee rooters
don't care a rap about all the clouters
that belong to any other team, and If
Ford has unearthed a splitter that has
even a shade on the bear he worked
all last season, then there are hopes
of the pennant going to New York
after all.
Ford won twenty-six and lost six
games in 1909, and won twenty-five
and lost eleven last season-with a
most slipshop aggregation behind him
last year. Now, if he can do that well
with one splitter, what can we expect
of him with two spitters?
But Ed Sweeney, the only catcher
who has been able to receive Ford's
slants properly is in for hard season.
and he probably won't greet the an
nOuncement of Ford's new wet fling
with any too much pleasure. Russ
splitter has never failed to put
Sweeney's hand on the blink at one
time or another during the season, and
with two of 'em working it is doubtful
if big Eddie" perforns more than so
or 60 times.
Although Ford pitched IA different
kinds of balls last season-and this
year he is going to fling Is brands
he and Sweeney used but two signs.
When any other catcher than Sweeney
is on the receiving end, Ford always

JESSE SORRY
 HE RAN AWAY

Another youthful fortune seeker will soon return to the parental roof supreme ly disgusted with the world and its ways. Jesse Clay, lanky young Georgian of Carrollton, Ga, who says he has seen 1s summers and one everlastingly cold night, is being detained at police headquarters until his parents send for him.
 Just few days ago Jesse decided that the world held great things in store for him and not being such strong believer in "all things come to him who waits,'' he set out in the 'cold. crool word' to hunt for them-to rush the season Of his wealth. so to speak.
 His brother set out for him and traced him to Birmingham, where he gave up the chase. His brother in speaking of Jesse to Policeman Stokes at the Ter minal station yesterday afternoon. asked the officer to keep an eye open for the lad and hold him until his parents were notified.
 Last night about II o'clock the officer noticed young lad standing around. well dressed. but without an overcoat, shiver- ing and shaking. hugging close to the radiator in the Terminal station. He asked the lad few questions and ascertaincd his identity He was sent to the office of Chief Bodeker. where he remained last night. He will be sent home today.

STUDENTS DESTROY
 COLLEGE BUILDING

Farnham. Quebec, January 29.-Authori@ ties this afternoon investigated the fire which early today destroyed the Holy Cross college near here and as a result three students of the institutional mere boys-are under arrest. J. P. Marchand, Il years old, of Montreal is alleged to have confessed that he set the building on fire The other two lads. who are said to have admitted being accomplices of Marchand, are Eugene Bernard, aged b. and William Henry, aged IA.
 Revenge for being refused a vacation by the director is alleged to have been the reason for the lads desire to burn the college. Young Marchand is reported to have said that he piled a lot of paper in room and startes the fire. The flames spread so rapidly through the wooden interior of the building that when the alarm was sounded it was too late to auench the blaze. The loss is est- mated at $l25,O0o All the 15o students in the building escaped.
