We experimented once with pneu-
matte gun the rifling in the barrel Of
which gave 1t heavy rotation in any
desired direction. 1t was merely an
exaggeration Of the curve. We shot
balls under 80 pounds of pressure, max
ing them curve sometimes hundred
feet. Putting the up curve motion on
the ball (Which always tends to curve
in the direction, of it's rotation), we
aimed the gun at a target exactly on
straight line, and the ball, going
straight for perhaps a hundred feet,
suddenly seemed to- slacken speed,
then 1t leaped upward and rose at
terrific rate until it passed over the
cross bar Of the flag-pole in the cen
ter field, 70 feet, above the ground
Yet the ball was not disobeying the
laws of physics, rather proving them
In its terrific speed it had encounter
ed an air billow which 1t could not
penetrate, and 1t had bounced on this
denser bunch of air and rolled up
ward.
One would think that If baseball
is hit into the air is will follow ball
istic curve in ratio to the angle OF
ascension reduced by the amount Of
air pressure. Physics says 1t should
1t will not, and no man can draw the
ballistic curve that any fly ball will
follow. The greatest range Of any
projectile in theory, is gained by an
angle Of 45 degrees. Military authori
ties know that, owing to air resist
/
ed at an angle just under 40 degrees
Having both the theory and the prac
tice, therefore, ball players to make
home runs should hit the ball at ar
angle of 40 degrees minus. One Of

runs was near that angle, the other
scarcely 30 degrees, it went farther.
AS a matter Of fact. even. If ball
player could hit ball at any desired
angle, he could not be certain where
it would CO. It would depend too much
upon the rotary motion of the ball.
Last summer l saw 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
his hands by two feet. The ball had
shot" suddenly from it's true path.
In a game between Washington and
Chicago late last fall, Walter Johnson
hit ball at an angle of close to 40
degrees, and with terrific force. /
should estimate that 1t was nearly 80
feet high, at its greatest elevation.
Had 1t followed the true ballistic
curve, 1t 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 it COM
ing toward him, as if the batter had
hit 1t 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,
sprints desperately outward and turns
exactly upon the spot where the ball
will alight. then catches 1t, 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
it 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 II tossed. Kilt
ridges thrown ball came more slowly,
but 1t Jared and bruised the hands.
This popularity of throwers is un-
derstood well by players, and one of
the first inquiries concerning a new
player is whether he throws light
or heavy ball, which refers to the
striking force Of the ball. and not its
weight. ball revolving naturally,
and thrown over the finger tips, as q
fast ball is thrown, has a tendency to
lift, Is light One that loses its ro-
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
physics. and also about baseball, could
fill book on the physics of pitching.
1t is simple, while seeming complex.
1t was not 30 very long ago that
Tying, the Harvard pitcher. developed
curve ball that started a protract-
ed argument which finally resulted in
group Of learned professors gath.
ering to decide whether ball actual
ly could be made to curve In the air.
The professors who doubted the DOS
sibility Of ball curving based their
doubts upon the alleged Insult iciency
Of air resistance. They admitted the

all have as their object the preven-
ton of rotary motion, or to give false

The ball that presents the most air
surface to the resistance of the at
mosphere slows up quickest and yields
more rapidly to gravitation. The one
that spins oftenest (not necessarily
fastest) curves most.

True Love.

Homer Folks. the secretary OF the
State Charities Aid association of New
York. said of eugenics the other day:
THE love match is good thing for
eugenics. By this l mean that it is
better for a pretty girl to marry a
brave. handsome youth for love. true
love, than 1t is for her to marry an
elderly millionaire for his money.
''Mercenary people like to sneer at
love In cottage. and bread and
cheese and kisses. and all that sort of
thing. But these sneers are false.
For"
Here Mr.. Folks smiled.
For" he ended. when poverty
comes in at the door. love flies out and
gets a good job"

Logic.

lO0sCs
Logic is a method employed by
some people to convince themselves
that they are right upon any question
ir which 1t would be extremely in
convenient for them to be proved
wrong.
Logic is INDUCED in almost exclu-
sively by professors and youns mar
ried men. Old married men know bet
ter. They usually employ silence in
stead
Logic is generally used as a substi-
tute for experience. 1t has essayed
upon several occasions to compete
with ridicule, but has generally failed
to come to time after the first round.
Logic shrinks before poetry. inven-
ton, art and character. 1t is the last
resort of mediocrity.-Life
