RECALLING ANCIENT HISTORY.
In Attempt to Fix ]. M. Mann as Dis
coverer of Curve Pitching.

New York, May 7.-Statisticians OF
athletics at Princeton university have
entered claim for j. M. Mann of the
class of rs as the discoverer of the art
of curve ball pitching During the fall
Of IA Mann pitched several games in
one week for the Nassau team, as
Princeton's star nine was known at that
time, and his peculiar delivery wore the
skin from the tip of his fingers.
Later in the week he was Obliged to
play third base but in order to save a
game went into the pitchers box near
the end of the game despite his fingers.
Owing to the tender condition of his
fingers, Mann was obliged to throw the
ball with little or no grip and he no
ticed the delivery breaking in odd man
ner. causing the opposing batters to
strike out.
During the winter months he contin-
ued the experiment and in the spring
blossomed out as curve ball pitcher.

2e ARRESTS MADE.
On Charge of Disorderly Conduct in Gin
cinnati Strike.

Cincinnati, May 1.-Two men and a
youth were slightly injured and 26 men
were arrested yesterday afternoon
charged with disorderly conduct, as a
result of an attempt to interfere with
the operation of one of the lines of the
traction company whose employees are
on strike.
Mounted police rode into the crowd
rescued the crew of the car and drove
the mob back to the sidewalks.
During the afternoon attempts were
made to interfere with running of cars
by blocking the tracks with wagons but
traffic officers kept the right of way
clear. At dusk the cars were Withdrawn
and last night the tie.up was as com
plete as it has been since the strike
began.
A demonstration of sympathy for the
striking carmen, made by the labor un-
ions yesterday, was large, about 1000
men being in line in the parade to the
Cincinnati ball park, where speeches were
made by union leaders. Mayor Hunt
and officials of business organizations
yesterday vainly attempted to bring
about settlement of the strike.

But the Armada men were ever hard to
puzzle. Pitcher Congo fooled only a
couple of 'em and by virtue of his one

FIGHT BY GANGS
Eight Men Battle in Street by School
Two Fatally Hurt--0ther Six Ran

New York, May IA crowd OF
school children ran shrieking to cover
when two groups of gangsters met and
began using reyolvers on street in the
Williamsburg section OF Brooklyn.
Eight men engaged in fight and two
of them lay mortslly wounded when a
lone policeman dashed upon the scene
firing his pistol. The other six men ran,
but two OF them were caught.
The police failed to find any cause for
the outbreak other than the ill-feeling
that has smoldered in gang circles for
the past few weeks.
