MAN HAS
CUP TO CURVE BALLS

Inventive genius has contributed a
great many things to baseball, but the
latest and most interesting. If not
vastly important, is a device for auto
matically curving the ball. The suc
cess of the invention is yet to be prov
ed as far as practical use is concern
ed. but If it docs all that is claimed
for it. the small boy will. no longer
have to spend tedious hour learning
to grip the ball for the various shoots
and benders.
This device is a small cup that is
strapped onto the fingers by means of
a rubber band. and is the invention OF
r. ". Jones Of Lincoln, Neb. The sue
ton cup holds the ball and may be
shifted to n position with respect to
the fingers. thus regulating the sizez
and kind Of curves. The cup performs
the office of the fingers in ordinary
curve throwing. the style of the curve
depending on the ann in which
the ball is released. The inventor
claims this c~ontrivance completely
solves the mastery OF curves and that
any one with a good throwing arm can
with it slant them over like Mathew
son or AmcS.

GAME HANDED
TO SUPERIOR
New Jumps Has Taste of the
Rough Stuff in His First
Appearance.

Winnipeg, Man. June 13.-superior
was handed yesterdays game on a sill
yer platter after one of the most SEN
sational games seen here in many a
day. Score was 2 to l in favor of the
visitors, and a raw decision by Um-
pire Brennan. aided by some fierce
fielding by Pitcher Peasley, who held
them to five hits. gave them their two
runs in the seventh. 1t was Brennan's
first appearance here, he acting be-
hind the plate with McGloom on the
bases, and he was nearly mobbed by
a number of hostile fans after the
game, having to be protected by the
police and players to get out Of the
park safe. He called what everybody
but himself thought was a foul ball, a
fair one, in the seventh, which went
for two bases. though the other official
said 1t was a foul. But after this
crude work on the part of the umpire.
Peasley pitched himself out Of the
hole. but fielded so badly that two
runs were scored. The umpire got in
bad with the fans by putting Nc
Murdo out of the game in the sixth,
when the latter kicked about a deci-
sion at the plate. Manager Brown
protested the game on the grounds
that the umpire has no right to put a
player u of the grounds without first
filming him. The fielding of Superior
was sensational, saving them a sure
defeat.

Is DATE SET O
CLUB

At a recent meeting of the officials
Of the Central International league in
Duluth 1t vas voted to increase the
salary limit of the clubs from $3.50
to $1,000 and he player limit from
twelve to thirteen men. However. this
matter was never definitely settled
and as the day for the wedding pro-
cess draws near club owners are be-
ginning to wonder Just what action
will be taken.
June Is is the time set for the
shake-up and the fans are wondering
just what men will be retained on tn.
various clubs. The teams are just
about down to the limit Of PLAYERS
nov and what changes are made will
probably not he very important.
Grand Forks will most likely have
the same infield that is now working.
The outfield. now that Altman has
been secured from Winnipeg. will
probably remain intact for a time at
least. Just what will be done in the
pitching department is still a matter
Tor conjecture and Manager I4ohr is
not throwing any light upon the sub
jcct as yet.

great army of pusilists who are roam

faith in the mascots they have chosen

For years n years baseball play
ers have been known as ]notoriously.
superstitious athletes. but they don't
rank at all in comparison with the
fighters in this respect. Charms and

the pugilists swear.
Ihere is fighter today who soon
is to be engaged in the biggest battle

weight championship at stake. who
believes that Friday is his day of vic
tory. He believes that If he were to
enter the ring for a fight on Friday
he would win regardless of how for
midable a hattler his opponent might
be. That is Jim Flynn, the Pueblo
b%attler. So FRIDAY being his day
Flynn is naturally superstitious about
the other days of the week.

Well, kilbane provides the answer by
saying that when he enters a ring for
battle his thoughts are miles away
in his Cleveland home and he thinks
of little Jack. He declares that think

ambition to battle for all that is in
him. And how Kilbane does fight

Fake"

New York. June 1s.-Johnny coul.
on of Chicago. the bantamweisht
champion. who knocked out Frankie
Hayes of st. Louis in the fourth
round at New Haven. Conn, Tues
day night. protested here TODAY
against the claim adopted in New
Haven that the bout was a fake.
The news that l was nearly
drowned at Staten Island on Monday
had reached the New Haven fans,
causin gthem to think 1 wouldn't
be in condition to fight. There was
only about $3.50 in the house and I
had been guaranteed $1,000 win, lose
or draw. The guarantee had a clause
attached whereby l forfeited the
thousand IL l was disqualified, so I
fought carefully in order not to give
the mthe slightest chance to call a
foul.
THE fight was fast, but Referee
FITZGERALD cautioned me unnecessar-
lily several times. so l was doubfy
careful. When he quit the ring in
the third. declaring the bout a frame
up. the chief Of police. who was at
