EMERY BALL MAY.
BE THE ANSWER TO
STELLAR TWIRLINC
BY HAL SHERIDAN.
written for the United Press

written for the United Press.)
New York, Dec. 1.-THE now famous
emery ball may be the answer to the
great pitching which the Federal
league produced last summer. The
records show that, taken as a whole,
there was better twirling among the
new league than in the older organiza-
tion. 1t is significant that many of
the moundsmen who did the best work
were "come-backs" who had suffered
harsh handling by American and Ma
tional league batsmen before they for
sock the old love for the new
Cy Falkenberg's ca is one in point.
The lanky Cy is highly flattered by
having it said of him that he pitched
even mediocre ball for Washington
some years back. He did fairly well
for Cleveland later, but not well
enough, so he was sent to the Amer
can association. Then Cleveland took
him back. His return to the big leagues
and to winning form was noteworthy.
Folks who know Falkenberg person
ally claim that it was he who invented
the emery ball, and that his victorious
campaign after a time in the minors
was due to tossing a sandpapered
sphere to the batters. Then Cy jump
ed to the Feds. His winnings greatly
outnumbered the defeats, and there
was little effort to conceal the fact
that Cy worked the emery ball over
time.
The Federal league has not declared
against this seraping of a baseball by
a piece of emery to afford the pitcher
a better grasp which permits in turn
better control, and there are Fed play
ers a-plenty who knew positively of
the emery ball having been used by
their pitchers throughout the season.
That's not a bed idea someone had |
the added interest that |
would follow If big league holiday |
lates were rearranged. Secretary |
Foster of the Giants is a strong boost
sr Of the plan to have West and East
meet on holidays, instead Of having
eastern and western teams play among
themselves on those days. In the old
lays eastern clubs met western clubs
md the result was added interest as
veil as added eagles to the Golfers of
he magnates. Under the system in
ogue for the past few days the fans
re claimed to have tired Of seeing the
ONE old clubs play on holidays. Sec
etary Foster pointed out that the
'est turns out strong on the Fourth OF
uly but not so well on Decoration
ay. 1t is just the opposite in the
ist, according to box office figures.

BIG GUNS
While Doing Deadly Work Are
Burdens to the German !.

Correspondence of the Associated

LONDON, Oct. 2,7-Although the
big guns used by the Germans have
been the surprise of the war and are
accredited with having caused the
fall of Liege, Namur and Antwerp,
some military experts in England
question the wisdom of.icarry such
weapons into the field. regarding
them as burden which an army can
not afford to transport.
Colonel F. NJ. Maude. discussing
the heavy guns. says in the Standard:
.'It would be interesting to obtPtn
the exact facts and caduculate Wnat
the policy of taking the 42-centfmeter
and 2S-centimeter howitzers into the
field really cost the Germans in loss
of transport power for the food OF
the troops. I am willing to grant
that the 42-centimeter weapon was
admirably adapted for its purpose OF
destroying steel and concrete targets
presented by the forts at Liese anu
Namur. But seeing that the. We1gnt
of one of the shells is nearly equal
to the weight of whole square meal
for one of their battalions, would not
the available horsepower. whether
mechanical or actual. have been far
better employed in hauling food Tor
men to the front in the first IN
stance?"
Military experts writing for the
English press say that big guns are
not really novelty The new iea-
ture is their general use in the recent
campaigns. Heavy guns Were trled
in the Franco-Prussian war over
rnuch the same territory where recent
fighting has taken place but their
movement was found too much of
burden.
