AS Sampson found his strength van

so Senator Thomas of Colorado found
his official identity lost after paying a
visit to a barber shop In the capitol.
He even was spurned by the senate

Senator Thomas long has gloried in

heat of an unusually hot spring day
settled on Washington 1t ceased to be
a source of qualification or glory.
The senator stood the discomfort as
long as he could and then decided to
be shorn. An overzealous barber
shipped the statesman's locks down to
the scalp.

CHANCES Of Climate.

A scientist who recently investigated
the causes Of secular variations In tenn
perature at the earth's surface thinks
that they are more probably due to
changes in the amount OF carbonic
acid in the atmosphere than to varia-
tons in the heat of the sun. II the
amount of carbonic acid that the air
now contains was diminished little
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, II is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla-
ciaI period. On the other hand, an in
crease of carbonic acid to between two
and three times tbs present amount
would raise the mean temperature Is
degrees and renew the hot times Of
the Eocene epoch.

The Physics of Baseball
BY Hugh S. Fullerton


The first law of physics is that all
that goes up must come down; al
ways excepting the cost Of living. The
frst law Of baseball Is not to let 1t
come down.
The difference between the physics
Of the classroom and of the diamond is
that the student learns the laws gov
erning inertia, velocity, dynamics, the
curvilinear trajectory of projectiles,
resisting power of air, attractive pow
er Of masses; and the ball-player, by
experiment, deals only with the freak
variants Of these laws. Many times
che student who makes his college
team is apt to think that the prof was
stringing him when he laid down
the laws Of motion, mass and We
1ocity. For a baseball under skilled
manipulation and control seems, like
trust, to come as near violating all the
laws as possible The ball always is
striving to do exactly what the laws
OF Physics say 1t should do, with half
a dozen other forces striving to com
pei it to do something else, and with
the bad boys in uniform trying to in
vent new methods Of making 1t violate
&he law.
II the supreme court should find the
law Of gravitation unconstitutional,
or II the ball player could breathe in
an absolute vacuum, baseball would be
a simple proposition. The ball would
keep on going in a straight line until
some one stopped 1t. Line hits would
continue to travel in a straight line
until some fielder, standing on the
needle point Of infinity, jumped and
pulled it down with one hand.
There Is professor Of physics In
q great eastern university who wrote
me inquiring as to the physics Of the
spit ball, and who later lectured to his
classes upon the subject / asked sew
eral great pitchers to demonstrate for
the benefit of the professor how they
held the ball, swung their arms, re-
leased 1t with their fingers, and how
much power they applied and to what
point on the surface OF the sphere.
Among them was Clark Griffith, mas
ter in theory, who used to be past-mas-
ter in practice. / asked him to take
the professor to the grounds and show
MIN things. The result was a note
from Griffith, In which he said:
Don't send any more bugs to see
me"
The point is that the players do not

Walsh strikes Collins out three times
with runners on bases 80 long as he

erning rotation, air pressure, fric-
tion, retard and accelerated motion.
ETC., ETC., are proved by the actions of
the ball. So physics and baseball as
studies have kept aloof from each
other.
Yet every move in ball game af-
1ords problem. There are basic con-
sditions which, in themselves, are
worthy Of study. Consider atmospheric

runs was near that angle, the other
scarcely 80 degrees, 1t went farther.
AS matter of fact, even, II a ball
player could hit ball at any desired
angle, he could not be certain where
It would go. 1t would depend too much
upon the rotary motion Of the ball.
Last summer. / saw a hard line hit
driven straight at Charlie Herzog Of
the Giants. He put up his hands to
catch the ball, then suddenly threw
his head aside just In time to avoid
being hit in the face, the ball missing

should estimate that 1t was nearly 80
feet high, at its greatest elevation.
Had it followed the true ballistic
curve, it would have passed over the
center field fence The ball sudden
ly stopped, started to drop straight
downward then caught in another
current OF air, and Bodie, who was
running after the ball, overlook 1t COM
ing toward him, as II the batter had
hit it from center field. Under condi-
tions such as these study of aero
nautics would help players more than
physics would.
The outfielder who gets the jump"
on the ball at the crack OF the bat
figures its trajectory at glance,
spirits desperately outward and turns
exactly upon the spot where the ball
will alight, then catches it, has all
the calculations ever devised beaten.
Physics assumes that balls, thrown
with equal force, following the same
angle OF projection over the same
range. will be alike. never doubted
1t until practiced at second base with
Malachi Kittridge and the lamented
Tim Donohue throwing the ball down
to me. Donohue threw faster, and
seemed harder, yet the ball came into
the hands as lightly as If tossed, Kilt
ridges thrown ball came more Slowly,
but it Jared and bruised the hands.
This peculiarly Of throwers is I'M
derstood well by players, and one Of
the first inquiries concerning new
player is whether he throws light
or heavy ball, which refers to the
striking force Of the ball. and not its
weight. A ball revolving naturally,
and thrown over the finger tips, as
fast ball is thrown, has a tendency to
lift, is light. One that loses its 70
tary motion, and oscillates rather than
rotates, is dead" and heavy. Every
player throws different kind of ball,
the variations depending upon the size
of the hands, the length of the fingers
and the manner Of holding the ball.
The man who knew enough about
and also about baseball, could
fill book on the physics OF pitching.
1t Is simple, while seeming complex.
It was not so very long ago that
Tying. the Harvard pitcher, developed
q curve ball that started a protract-
ed argument which finally resulted in
a group of learned professors gath
ering to decide whether ball actual
" could be made to curve m the air.
The professors who doubted the pos
sihility Of a bali curving based their
doubts upon the alleged insuficiency
Of air resistance. They admitted the

The entire science of pitching con-

WEST ASKS ALL
OF THEM BACK
ISSUES A STATEMENT
Calls on Legislators to Return To-
norrow to Complete Unfinished
Business-Validity of Certain Meas
ures Is at Stake, he Declares
Makes Appeal to All.

Salem. Ore, March 3.-RecogniZ-
ing that public necessity requires
members of the legislature to return
personal views as to the unwisdom of
holding over into another week, Gov
ernor West issued signed statement
calling upon the members to assemble
once more to attend to unfinished
business and effect sine die adjourn
ment.
Failure to return and adjourn in
the ordinary way, the governor points
out would cast grave doubt upon the
validity of the laws that have been
passed, resulting in costly and lengthy
litigation. The governor has deter
mined not to allow any political, per-
sonal or other consideration to stand
in the way of the performance of the
duty made necessary by the eXtraor-
dinary methods of the house and sem
ate leaders.
When it became evident the tactics
of the steam rollerites and the ring
leaders in forcing through the pro-
gram of an adjourned session might
bring disaster to all the important
bills that had been passed, because of
the possibility of not being able to
secure a quorum and make a formal
adjournment, the governor stepped
into the breach and issued his APP
peal in order to protect the state from
the possible dire results of the rollers
political schemes. His message says:
"To the members of the Legislature
ut appearing that a grave question
has arisen as to the validity of certain
measures passed at the recent session
of the legislature, should that body
fail to meet again on March and ad-
journ sine die, earnestly hope that
each member will report at the ap-
pointed hour in order that all unfin-
ished business may be given proper
attention and by adjourning sine die
leave no doubt as to the validity of
the measures already passed. To
those. good friends who have stood by
me in the fight during the recent ses-
sion make this a personal appeal

Beautiful Decorations.
The city was in gala attire not only
for the women, but for the inaugural

color. Intertwined with the guidons
were those emblazoned "Votes for

at the depot plaza for the arrival Of

to the Avenue in a wild rush for
view of the women's pageant as soon
