morrow. All arrangements have been

two clubs, and the first game will be
played on the West Side, Tuesday,
Oct. 7. This leaves a day of rest at
the close Of the regular season.
JUmpires will be appointed by the
National Commission at once. Fol-
lowing the first game on the West
Side, the teams will play out at 35th

each park until one gang cops four
games.
Edward Walsh staged the second
act Of his comeback drama in Bos-
ton yesterday, and the result was
something to enthuse over. Callahan
allowed his star to work only five in
nings, fearing to take chances on
hurting his arm by longer strain.
But in those five innings Walsh
looked more like the idol Of former
days than any time this year. He
picked up his stuff where he left it
on his first trial after visit to Bone
setter Reese, and travelled some dis
lance more on the road to effective
ness and regular duty. In his first
effort witness cropped out, an un-
usual defect for Walsh.

very nearly pFecipitated a riot. Ring
side speculation varies Slightly regard
ing whether O'ROurke struck more
percepuble, but apparently uninten-
tiOnal. The fact that Thorpe jumped
two inches into the air in order that
II would hit him in the groin, is de-
clared by many.
Severe criticism was handed out re-
garding the actions of referee Stew
art, who was roasted freely by the
ringside fans. Thorpe was allowed to
head against O'ROurke's chin, Bat
Nelson style, thereby obtaining a van
tage point to protect his stomach and
send in what were intended to be club
like blows to the body. Thorpe easily
had the advantage in the first eight
stanzas The fact that O'Rourke ap-
peared to be piling UP a margin during
the ensuing rounds strengthened the
claims of the fans that he received a
raw deal from the referee.
Thorpe showed so percent improve
ment over his boxing form when he
clashed with frankie Gage at Juarez
several months ago. His judgment of
distance was perfect. O'ROUrke was
invariably tented into missing an
overland right swing, while Thorpe
would get in left leads to the face and

are practically numbered now. Poor
Hal Chase!
Odd Jumps of Curves.
Since the day when still existed
scientists willing to hazard the asser-
sion there was no such thing as a
curve ball, much has been learned about
the odd jumps, stops and twistings
which the leather sphere may be made
to perform by a skilfuI pitcher. All
the important pitchers have developed
their own peculiar balls, some of which
no other man has been able to throw
in just exactly the inventors style.
There are, however, certain balls which
are now recognized as necessary TO a
pitchers education
For instance, there is the SLOW ball"
To throw this, the baseball is held in
the palm of the hand. The thumb and
little finger grip it, while the other
fingers do not touch it, except lightly.
The pitcher projects the. ball overhead
Instead of revolving, the bail wobbles
from side to side It rOtates rapidly
away from the pitcher, losing its force
In a manner surprising to one who has
not faced it. The rotation shoots the
ball downward much faster than it
otherwise would
The EAST Ball.
The fast ball" is pitched with great
speed overhead or side arm. If the
pitcher prefers an overland delivery,
the ball is gripped with two fingers on
top and the thumb underneath. It is
delivered off the ends of the fingers,
which grip the ball tightly at release.
The ball revolves backward. travels
straight toward the batter until near
him, and then takes a lightning jump
upward.
When this ball is pitched sidearm.
the grip is the same. But the back of
the hand is turned. so fingers and
thumb are horizontal. The ball then
jumps in the direction of the gripping
fingers If a right handler pitches this
ball, the jump is to the right.
The curve ball" is usually held like
the fast ball; the bail is released over
the side of the first finger instead of
over the tips The break or curve de-
ponds upon the pressure applied by the
fingers at release; upon the snap Of
the wrist and upon the power Of the
pitchers arm.
Effective curve balls break down and
out Cfor right handed batter) or down
and In for a left handed batter) when
pitched by a right handler The eff
IectlVeness of the curve depends upon
the sharpness of this break. The ball
revoIves on an angle of about IS de-
grees, away from the pitcher
How splitter is Thrown
The spit balT' is pitched with two
fingers on top of the ball, resting on a
spot that has been made slippery, and
the thumb beneath, against the seam.
Delivered overland, the ball breaks
downward sharply at the plate. In
flight the ball revOIves away from the
pitcher for some distance. then floats
dead and finally begins to revoIve ran
idly toward the rifchar
