don. If anything, she was somewhat
afraid of the responsibilities proposed to
be undertaken by her spouse, to whom
she was devoted.
The Magistrate did not promise def

offered to him. He would think over the
matter. He could retire on a pension
at any time. This he would do now
without delay, and Philip could certain
ly count on his friendship and advice,

would be difficult for any one to deal

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

bearing the address OF the Pail Mall
tertained at dinner occasionally by one
of his wealthy friends. but which was
far removed from the limit imposed on
the pocket OF any man whose resources
depended on the exercise of an ordinary
profession
But Philip still figured in his mind
as ragged urchin. Not even the
skilled police magistrate could picture
him as the actual owner of millions of
pounds worth Of portable property
Hence. the boys appearance now told
in his favor. Cursory impressions soon
Welded to positive bewilderment when

detail save the actual locality where his
astounding adventures found their cen.
Ter and genesis
Telling His Story
Mr. Abingdon did not doubt for on.
moment that the boy was telling the
truth. The romance OF his narrative
was far beyond fiction.
Philip himself grew enthusiastic as
he went on. His brown eyes blazed
again with the memory Of hts wrath
and shame at the arrest. lie told the
Magistrate how the proceedings in court
had affected him, and gave a vivid pic =
ture of his bargaining with Isaacstein,
the packing of the diamonds, the fight
between the policeman and a burglar.

ditions of men. and the ruses he had
adopted TO preserve his secret
At last he came 10 the transaction
which secured for him the ownership OF
the news itself. He read copies OF his
letters to the solicitors, and their re-
plies. and then, of course, the Magis~
irate knew where the meteor had fallen.
That is a very clever move on your
part" he said, smiling 1T invests you

MENTAL REACTION.

Mental reaction plays a very impor-
tant part in baseball. The player must
make decisions and act upon them
quickly. How long does il take catch
er to determine whether to throw to a
| baseman or not and to act upon the de-
cision? How much time is required by
any player in the field, or the batter, or
the runner, TO decide upon given action
and take it? The determination of this
is one of the services which such de-
vice as Mr.. Gilbreths may perform for
the baseball manager.
In this connection ii is interesting 20
note that in the case of the Brown
catcher the interval between catching
the ball and the beginning Of the throw
TO second in one case was seven-tenths
Of second and in another eight-tenths.
The catchers for the Giants in every
case recorded started the ball on its
flight to second within two-fifths OF a
second after receiving il, and the aver
age for all was below a third of a sec
ond. one throw being made in a rifle
over a quarter OF a second. This would
suggest that the reaction time OF 4
catcher of long experience Of the major
league class is one-half that Of an aver
age college catcher. This point. how
ever, on which IL would hardly be fair
10 generalize beyond saying that reac-
ton is an important element in play and
that upon IL hangs the success or fail
ure of a player.

STUDY OF ACTION.

There are opportunities for study Of the
actions of the runner also. This field,
perhaps, offers particularly good oppor-
tunites for the application of the lessons
of motion study The speed with which
the batter gets away from the plate on
the journey to first may make all the
different between a hit and an out.
With the assistance of the background
and its squares it is stated by Mr.. Gil
breth that it would be possible to plot the
course of the ball on its way TO the home
plate and 10 tell at what point in its
flight IL began TO curve. In the Brown
tests il was found that the catcher who
was obliged TO receive the ball on the left
side II he was a right handed thrower.
would have great difficulty in recovering
I'm time 10 get ball to second before u
runner
The pictures taken at the Polo Grounds
showed number of interesting things.
Ii was noted, in cases where the ball was
struck, that the batter hit 1t before the
pitchers foot had risen TO its full height
above the ground. This illustrates the
speed with which the ball travelled. In
the pictures of the Brown pitcher the

before the latter had passed his body. the
ball being thrown after the fashion of An
apple on the end Of a stick In the pict-
ures of the pitchers of the Giants the ball
left the hand. in many cases, after it had
passed the centre of the swing. One
showed II actually on the bat They also
demonstrated the mechanical character
OF the "wind-up." There was little varia-
ton in the duration OF this phase OF
pitching a ball. although each pitcher
differed from his fellows in this respect
In other words, each pitcher had style
Of his own-a fact which. perhaps II did
not require a moving picture machine TO
demonstrate. The 'wind-up" in nearly
every case consumed more than so per
cent of the time occupied in the cycle of
pitching a ball and returning 1t to the
second baseman. 1t is a great stage play.
whatever else il may be.
