Johnny McGraw believes the Giants
can hit Joe Wood very effectively if
they face him in the worlds series.
The report is persistent that Bres-
nahan is through as manager of the
Cardinals and that Mrs. Britton will
have Higgins 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. a,..n d -aE
1t is said that Manager McGraw of
the New York Giants is sweet on
Arnold Hauser of the Cardinals, and
would like to put over a trade for
the clever shortstop. ...-....
Cincinnati can already hear the 1913
pennant Topping. They know they're
going to have a good team down there
next year just because they whipped
the Giants twice in a row.
Hovlik, who pitched a no-hit game
for the Milwaukee Brewers, still be-
longs to the White Sox, and il he per-
forms many tricks of the kind he will
be yanked back in a hurry.
Ty Cobb picked up a little side
money umpiring semipro game at
New York, and some Of the papers
around the circuit comment on it as
though Ty had stolen the money.
Even with four scouts, Sam Ken
needy, George Huff, Bobby Gilks and
Socks Seybold, roaming the bushes
the Cleveland club has not been able
to annex any promising minor lea
guers.
Ty Cobb Is figuring on another boost
in salary for next year, 1t is reported.
Tyrus believes he is worth $4,000 a
year hereafter. and it may be neces-
sary for the Detroit club to pay it if
Ty says so.
Indianapolis released Fred Carisch
last year as not up to Association cali
Der and Toledo picked him up in an
emergency. Now he returns to the
big ring, going to Cleveland in ex-
change for Paddy Livingston.

CURVED BALL is EXPLAINED
Professor Franklin Explains Mystery
to Students of Columbia Uni
versity Summer School.

The why" of q baseball curve
should no longer be a mystery, at
least to the students Of the Columbia
University Summer school. In 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 ve-
locity and the spin that the pitcher
gives it as it leaves his hand.
Daniel Bernouilli, a Swiss physi-
cist, who died in 1862, was the man
who discovered the principle. He was
observing 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 ball. II
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 it's curve is concerned,
and It soon falls to the ground;
whereas, II the front of the ball is
given a dowkward spin there is in
addition to this straight forcing aside
of the air CIRCULATION motion of the
air around the TALL. 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 tho BALL

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 rough spot and pulled
out many a game in which some
other pitcher had wobbled.
Coombs. like Walsh, could stand
being hurled into the breach many a
time beyond the ordinary, aud then
his experiences 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.
1t was predicted half dozen years
ago that the inordinate wear and tear
would get him, but he is still at It.
and as effective, Il not IS 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.

In Russia II Is a crime for lovers

were confirmed on appeal. The gen.
eral fine in Russia for kiss in the

OhIIqIna.

A young man, who had never testi-
fed before was Gales before the court
as a witness in a certaiF case. He
was somewhat fiustered over the at
tention that was being paid him, and
mumbled his words so that the young
woman stenographer could not hear
them distinctly. He was told to speak
plainly and to turn toward the stenog-
rapher.
Speak to the stenographer," said
the prosecutor.
At that the young man arose and
with deep bow to the lady said,
How do you do!"-Satire

ranged from sixteen to ninety-nine
years Of age. and the records show
the youngest bride was fifteen, and
the oldest eighty-two. One man of
