Marked attention is now being paid to
the catch and the finish. The aim is to
get hard, sharp, snappy catch, followed
by an increasing pull through the water
To this end the men are constantly told
to drive their legs down hard once the
oar is buried. and a speedier start is ex-
pected once the crew is accustomed to
the new shell construction by Sims, the
English boat builder from whom Har-
ward has secured racing shells in recent

Force Of a Pitched Ball.

How fast does pitched ball travel?
At Bridgeport, Walter Johnson and
Napoleon Rucker pitched at ma
chine for testing the velocity and
striking energy Of rifle fire, with the
result Of establishing mathematic-
ally exact record. Johnson registered
a speed Of 1913 feet second, Fuckers
best rate being nine feet less. Rucker
thought that with more warming up
the only Johnson would be capable
Of shooting at the velocity Of $50 feet.
AS the record stands, it means that
the interval of time from pitcher to
batter is a split second. What the
batsman at the plate faces Is hurt

near Lille, recently. Experiments
were being made with the kite when
the anchor rope broke. and the boy.
who was standing near, seized the
end Of the cord as the kite rose in the

the kite lifted him of his feet he
seemed powerless to release his hold
and was carried aloft, while his moth

The kite rose quickly to height of
about fifty feet, with the boy dangling
at the end of the cord and screaming
for help Then suddenly 1t dipped,
and when it was at a height of about
twenty feet the boy let go. He
crashed heavily to the ground and

Left Capital Vulnerable.

One hundred years ago the residents
of Washington were seriously dis
turbed by rumors that the British
were planning an expedition for the
capture of their city. Grave as was
the danger, the authorities were slow
to move. After considerable delay a
fleet of gunboats and barges were as
sembled and placed under the COM
mand of the veteran Commodore Bar
uey. who had served with distinction
in the Revolution. But the land de-
fenses were almost totally neglected.
Though the government called for 49,
600 troops. the actual defense force
about the national capital consisted of
but few hundred militia. In conse-
quence. when the British finally
marched on the city in midsummer
they encountered little opposition.
