the STUDENT who makes his college

the laws Of motion, mass and We

player could hit ball at any desired
angle, he could not be certain where
1t would go. 1t would depend too much
upon the rotary motion Of the ball.
Last summer I 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

This popularity of throwers Is un.

the variations depending upon the size
OF tho 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 a book on the physics OF pitching.
1t Is simple, while seeming complex.
1t was not SO very long ago that
Tying, the Harvard pitcher, developed

a group OF learned professors gath.

The professors who doubted the pos

doubts upon the alleged insufficiency
OF air resistance. They admitted the
