Lenses, Printing Rollers, Lith-

Other Inventions Trace
Their Being to Unexpect-
ed Events.

Valuable discoveries have been made
and valuable inventions suggested by
the veriest accidents. An alchemist,
while seeking to discover a mixture of
earths that would make the most dura-
BILE crucibles, one day found that he had
made porcelain.
The power of lenses. as applied to the
telescope, was discovered by a watch
makers apprentice. While holding spec-
tacle glasses between his thumb and fin
ger, ne was startled at the suddenly en-
larged appearance Of neighboring
church spire.
The art OF etching upon glass was dis
covered by a Nuremberg glass cutter. BY
accident, few drops Of aqua fortis fell
upon his spectacles. He noticed that
the glass became corroded and softened
where the acid had touched IL. That was
hint enough. He drew figures on glass
with varnish, applied the corroding fluid,
then cut away the glass around the
drawing. When the varnish was removed
the figures appeared raised upon a dark
ground.
Mezzotint owed its invention to the
simple accident of the gun barrel of a
sentry becoming rrsted with dew.
The swaying to and fro of a chandelier
in a cathedral suggested to Calico the
application of the pendulum.
The art of lithographing was perfected
through suggestions made by accident.
DiscoS cry of Musician.
A poor musician was curious to know
whether music could not be etched upon
stone as well as upon copper. After he
had prepared his slab his mother asked
him to make memorandum of such
clothes as she proposed to send away to
be washed.
Not having pen. ink, and paper con-
venient, he wrote the list on the stone
with the etching preparation. intending

would have upon il. He applied the acid.

PITCHERS Do GOOD WORK

A benefit game was PLAYED al the
American League Park yesterday after
noon between the American Security and
Trust team. amateur champions of the
District. and the Sherwood aggregation
of the Central League. The proceeds
were turned over to ONeil, infielder Of
the Sherwood team, who was injured in
game during the latter part Of the sea-
son. A collision resulted in the player
being spiked and his leg broken above
the ankle.
The Bankers had an easy time winning.
The contest went six innings with the
score resulting l. to l. 1t was not until
the fourth inning that the members OF
the bank team got to the delivery of
O'Neil brother of the injured player. In
this session nine runs were chased across
the plate.
LOOMS and Holden did the twrling for
the city champions. The former started
and went like house afire for three in

The bringing of the Army and Navy
game to this city would undoubtedly
be a fine thing for the people OF this
city. and it would really seem logical
here. But there is one feature In fgur-
ing on such happening that seems to
have been overlooked If the Army ab-
solutely refuses to come as Tar south
other government institution rather
than do so, it is hardly likely that 1t
would agree to a place more than
hundred miles farther from tleir home
reservation.
1t would not be necessary to raise funds
to guarantee the bringing of the game to
this city. 1t would more than pay for
itself. with plenty to spare. The Mid
shipmen could probably be brought to
agree to this city, but the contest of the
Army is what would be lacking. The
government officials might intervene and
demand that the contest take place here.
but they generally allow those directly In
charge of the two institutions to take
care Of such matters.
1t is a fact that there will be no Army
Navy game this year. In a letter writ
ten by Glen Warner to a friend In this
city he made mention OF the contract
signed between Carlisle and the Army
and he stated that the contract was not
entered into by Carlisle until after posi-
tive assurance was received from the
Army that there was absolutely no
chance for an Army-Navy game. With
contract OF that kind in his possession.
1t is not likely that he will be willing to
relinqush it unless great deal Of pres
sure were brought to bear.

this season Capt. John Evans has been
able to make the largest list of en-
tries that the club has ever sent away.
The intermediate gig crew will not
take along a boat, but will use one
belonging to the New Rochelle Club.
Coach Dempsey will not accompany
the crews, but his brother, Joe Demp-

his recruits.
1t is not likely that Griffith will put in
many drafts for minor leaguers Having
had the minor leagues secured from one
end of the country to the other. he has
come to the conclusion that the players
which are not sold are not apt to be of
much value to a major league team,
hence, he is not apt to go to the trouble
of drafting them.
Present rules provide that whenever a
! player is purchased or drafted from the
minor leagues he must have at least thir-
ty days trial before he can be sent back
and Griffith is figuring and looking over
his youngsters for that length of time
! this fall and spring SO that he can do the

thick. must naturally according to his
physique and build generally swing
somewhat lower, or, as we term it, with
a flat swing and l consider his swing
lis in keeping with his build. and the sub
ject of my whole story is to try and cul-
tivate the swing according to ones own
build.
For instance, ii would be ridiculous
for the tall slim man to initiate the short
thick-set player. Naturally the tall slim
player can with perfect freedom and
ease produce a much more upright swing
than the more corpulent gentleman
whose club cannot possibly get away.
The difference is simply that the aver
age built golfer can turn or pivot from
the left shoulder to complete his up
ward swing, whereas the thick-set golf
er's shoulder becomes locked about three
parts of the way up; the club is taken
away quicker round the right foot, be-
coming a fat swing.
] hope I have succeeded in explain
ing to at least a few golfers that it is
most important to keep the clubhead
along the line coming through and that
some one may profit thereby.
