Around the Gatun locks, where the

their enormous concrete walls the
highest water temperatures prevail. At
Gorgonap where the depth of water is

The "Why" Of a Pitched Baseball
What Makes It Break and Curve So?

Some Of the uncanny things
pitchers can do with a baseball
would give a professor Of physics
headache.
The sight of a pitched ball
shooting, darting. rising, falling,
hesitating and wobbling like a
man with too much holiday spirit
aboard is more than the man who
delves in mathematical gymnas-
tics could bear.
Would you know WHY a ball
behaves SO? Would you know
HOW the pitcher does it? Then
on with the story.
The fast ball.
The fast ball is pitched over
hand or sidearm and with great
speed. Overland the ball Is
gripped with two fingers on top
and the thumb underneath. 1t is
delivered off the ENDS of the
fingers, the fingers gripping the
ball tightly at release.
Due to this pressure, the ball
as it revolves backward, travelling
as straight as a thrown ball may
travel, until it nears the batter,
when it jumps upward. This is
the HOP on his fast one."
The curve.
The curve is held like the fast
ball, but the ball 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 (for right-handcd
battery or down and in (for a
left-handed batter) when pitched
by right handler. The effective
ness of the curve depends upon
the sharpness of this break. The
ball revolves on an angle of about
As degrees, AWAY from the
pitcher.
The slow ball.
One slow ball is held back in
the palm of the hand, gripped by
the thumb and little finger, the
other fingers not touching it save
at the base. 1t Is pitched over
hand like a fast ball, but instead
of revolving wobbles from side to
side until it loses force, when It
rotates rapidly AWAY FROM
THE PITCHER. This rotation
shoots it in the natural direction
and helps the downward break.
The spit ball.
The spit ball is pitched with
two fingers on top of the ball,
resting on a spot that has been
made slippery, and the thumb be-
meath, against seam. Delivered
overland, the ball breaks down.
ward sharply at the plate. In
flight the ball revolves AWAY
from the pitcher for some dis
lance, then floats DEAD and fin
ally begins to revolve rapidly
TOWARD the pitcher.
AL Orth had his own spit ball,
the reverse of Ed Walsh's. 1t was
thrown overland. being re-
leased about opposite Orth's knee
and pitched on an angle to the
batter's shoulder. Orth held the
ball with his fingers underneath
and thumb on top. wetting the
spot his fingers touched and grip
ping the ball at the seam, with
his thumb, giving 1t fast, un-
natural. backward spin which
helped maintain the angle in.

to carry some

opinion ought to carry some
weight.
He is pretty confident that he
will sign up Joe with Farmer in
the very near future. Two lodges
are anxious to land the match, he
declares.
Bonds is developing his foot
work and is paying marked at
tention to blocking, jabbing and
other fine parts of the mitt game.
He is young, strong and willing,
and there is no reason he should
not become good one, says Cor
man.

TIMING DEVICE

A Mechanical device to keep
time in prize fights and indicate
the number of rounds has been
invented by two Scranton, Pa,
jewellers.
This timer will do away with
the shortening or lenghening of
rounds to favor fighter-some-
thing that has been done in the
past.
The timer is large dial with
four figures as indicated by the
drawing. The hand consumes a
minute moving from one figure
TO another, and bell rings every
time IL reaches the naught and
the figure three.
Above the naught a large num-
Der appears, changing with each
round. so the spectators can see
at q glance which round is being
contested.
