The war poets have not over
looked the fact that the greatest
tragedy of all is hers.
Miss Mary r. Campbell of the
psychopathic bureau of the Chi
cago municipal court is an expert
in the tragedies of women and
children. Her opinion was
sought.
do the poets really know
what II means? Do you suppose
they have any real idea of the
deformity, feeble-mindedness and
actual insanity which will ap-
pear in the generation just born
and the one to be born In the next
few months?
do you suppose the en-
perors and kings thought of

AS Miss Campbell began to
project her imagination into the
future of Europe in the light of
her experiences with subnormal
and deficient women and children
who are brought to her for ex-
animation in the newly established
psychopathic bureau, her horror
at the tragedy grew a thousand
fold.
THE work of the eugenists

EDDIE COLLINS UNCOVERED
MYSTERY OF EMERY BALL

him out on strikes for the second time
Collins insisted that the arbitrator
make an examination of the ball. The
umpire did SO and discovered a large
rough spot on the leather sphere,
which Collins insisted made II pos
sible for Heating to get the unusual
break on the ball. He also requested
that Connolly examine the glove used
by Heating, as he insisted he was
creating the rough spot by means of
a substance concealed in the glote.
Connolly did so and much to his sur
prise discovered a piece of emery
paper concealed therein.
That was the public birth OF the
emery ball. although the delivery was
several years old at the time. Umpire
Connolly made known the facts of his
discovery to President Johnson. His
verdict in the case spelled the finish
of the emery ball as far as the Ameri.
can League was concerned. A bulle.
tin was issued to umpires and mana
gers, which contained the information
that use of the emery ball would re
suit in fine of 800 and a thirty-day
suspension to the pitcher resorting to
the unfair practise.
viii Keep Unplres Watching.
While President Johnson's message
was the death sentence to the emery
ball as far as the American League Il
concerner, the possibilities created by
the use of the emery paper still live
and in the future the umpires win of
ten be kept busy throwing out bal

the field all the time. What started
out with Just keen rivalry has ended
in a sure enough fight, and with the
Americans just one game ahead, and
35 games already gone, it looks as
though the big battle would be fought
right here in Honolulu. The rubbing
in that the Braves gave the Athletics
this year in the worlds series made
every American Lacquer jealous of the
prestige or IFS outfit, and this trip is
a sort Of post-post-season struggle
between the two major leagues. It's
been fight all the way, too. It's fun
ny how there can be so much rivalry
on the field, and such good fellowship
of it. Conditions on the trip are
rather unusual, OF course, because the
players of both aggregations are
thrown together constantly, and not
Just casually. as would be the case be-
tween clubs in the same league dur
ing the season. There have been sew
eral near-fghts on the diamond, but
nothing approaching ruction outside
of Office hours, as it were"
Asked what the players thought of
MoilMli field when they worked out
there yesterday morning, Snodgrass
said that 1t was very satisfactory.
THE infield seems bit slow and
somewhat rough he said, shut the
heavy rains you've hac accounts for
that. A good rolling will take some
of the humps out, too. Otherwise the
ground is fine, and whole lot better
than some of the lots we've played on
lately. I'm glad we're going to have
competent umpiring here, for that de
partment has been somewhat fierce in
a good many towns. inexperienced
local talent has worked, and the play.

for the best of it, and there has been

NTH Honolulu Overlooking with
Wv major league baseball talent,
there is a chance of those who frater-
nize with the diamond stars to get a
large line of baseball gossip and lin
side stuff'' OF the game. Ball players
are not, as rule. good single-handed
takers. That is to say, several are
necessary 10 start a real tanning bee.
Then one carries the other along, and
a connected story can be compiled.
Here is the real inside history OF
the famous emery ball. youehed for
by several Of the big fellows:
The place was the polo grounds,
New York. The contending teams
were the Athletics and New York
Americans. The pitcher for New
York was. Ray Heating. master Of the
spit bail; the batter was Eddie Col

team. II was the second appearance
of Collins at the plate. Heshad struck
out his first time up. Keen of eye
Collins is not often a strike-out vic.
tim, but he had been completely
fooled by Heating He had taken
three swings and missed each ball
by such a wide margin that he was
confident something was wrons, some.

was entirely with Collins.

Ford Makes the Discovery.
To Russell Ford belongs the credit
of discovering the emery ball He
first hit upon the secret and in 1910
through the use of the emery ball he
was the talk of the American League
circuit. He was credited with having
spit ball that he could break any
way he desired. Ford worked clever.
~. He had the emery paper attached
to a piece of string, which was
fastened to the inside of his under.
shirt He had a hole in the center OF
his glove. At the end of each inning
he would slip the emery paper under
the tight-ftting undershirt, while at
the start of each inning he would al.
low it to drop into the palm OF the
glove, which had been removed.
