you like, you can include Palmyra

COURSE OF A PITCHED BALL.
Why Straight Fast One Jumps Side
ways In the kir.

Why a Straight Fast One Jumps Side
ways In the sir.
That a pitched baseball curves in the
direction in which the nose Of the ball
is moving because of the spin-upward
if the twist given by the pitcher is up
ward, toward the right if the twist is
to the right, and so on-is matter OF
experience that is quite comprehensi-
BILE, but how hard pitched ball should
jump sidewise in a most Irregular
manner, although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly puzzling.
In the Journal of the Franklin 1nsti-
tute Professor W. S. Franklin of Le-
high university expounds the phenome-
non as we'll as the philosophy Of twist
ed balls. Multitudes of fans who
have always supposed that the battling
qualities of straight pitched ball
were due simply to'its swiftness never
suspected this eccentricity. Professor
Franklin states the case in this way:
Consider very smooth ball which is
moving through still water without
spinning There is certainly no more
reason why the ball should jump to
the right than to the left. Therefore it
must continue to move straight for
ward. That is good logic. But such a
ball is no more subject to logic than is
a sharp stick The fact is that the ball
does jump sidewise and in most ir-
regular manner. This may be shown
by dropping smooth marble in jar
of still water. The marble goes nearly
straight for several inches and then
suddenly jumps sidewise. Similarly a
smooth baseball jumps sidewise irreg-
ularly as it moves through the air if
the ball is not spinning.
The explanation lies in the fact that
a rapidly moving stream of air splits
when it flows past ball with unstable
dividing lines or vortex sheets. The
unstable sheet will squirt now upward,
now downward The condition is the
same when the ball splits the air and
is shunted in a glancing manner past
The bat. The only requisite for this
battling effect is power in the pitchers
arm.

BULL DOGS TO

Kimball, S. D.--Members of anti
ball are aroused over the announce
ment that a fight of bull dogs has
been scheduled to take place in Kim
ball on Saturday of this week. 1t is
believed steps will be taken to pre-
the fight. The fight was arrang-
ed as the result of a visit to KIM
ball by a man named O'Brien. who
is the owner of a bull dog with a
long fighting record. He offered to
bet $50 that his bull dog could whip
any animal of it's same breed in
Kimball.s
A kimball man, who is the owner
of a bull dog which he believes is
the greatest fighter in the state or
northwest, covered the bet and plans
to match his animal against that
owned by O'Brien. But it is probable
the authorities will be compelled
to step in and prevent the spectacle.

outgrowth of the agitation.
"The city has made no move X

is to pass a resolution fixing the
