ON THE DIAMOND

Stanford University, March A.--
"president Hempsted win not be able
10 induce me to come back for another
season." was the emphatic statement
of Art Schaefer, the star third base
man OF the New York Giants, when his
attention was called to the fact that
President Hernpsted was on his way to
California to try to influence the in
fielder to return to baseball.
when Hempsted comes to Califor-
MA" Schafer said, "he win insist on
my returning to baseball, but no kind
Of inducement viii get me to go bacl;

fessional ball and / am through for

IL, from what indications / have re-
eeived and read in the papers, they
still think they can persuade me. Two
weeks ago I received two kilograms
from Hempsted in rapid succession
asking me to change my plans. I did
not think it necessary to answer.
"Last Tuesday a wire came from
McGraw, renewing the bids. l replied
that there was nothing doing"
When questioned in regard to the
possibility of his accepting offess
from other managers, Schaefer said:
az am member of the New York club
and am not open to offers from other
sources. The Federal league wouldn't |
hold the least attraction for me, any
way"

Sox Win and Lose.

San Francisco, March 9.-The white
sox did not care TO cop everything in
sight yesterday so they took the meas.
ure of the oaks at Oakland in the
morning and let the Frisco seals get
away with a good win before a big
gauge of rooters in the afternoon.
The morning attraction was brought
home by ID to 6. while runs and wal
lops were mighty scarce in the second
clash. which the majors dropped by
. to o.
The sox didn't look like themselves
yesterday morning and it was a dead
cinch that after such an outburst they
would suffer a marked reaction. When
they can land on bunch of hurlers
for IS swats they are going SON.
They did that against the oaks. In
the afternoon, however. they were
nursed like a bunch of youngsters and
the best they produced was six scat
tered taps.

TENNIS PLAYERS
PLANNING SEASON
Augustana Association Elects
Officers and Promulgates
New Set of Rules.

The Augustana Tennis association
has already taken up the preparations
for the coming season. The associa-
ton was organized late last fall and
ilaugurated an entirely new policy for
the promotion of the popular sport.
Instead of 10 separate clubs acting
independently of each other, each own
ing its own court. the clubs were
amalgamated into a strong associa-
ton which will through its manage
ment keep the courts in excellent
shape all the time and arrange for
additional ones If necessary.
According to the new ruling of the
association each person who wants to
play must show his membership card
which is withheld unless the dues of
the association are paid. The commit
tee can cali upon any of the members
to help keep the courts in order and a
fine is imposed if the member fails
to respond.
At the meeting of the association
late Saturday the following officers
We're elected for the year:
President-Karl Larson.
MISREPRESENTATION Herman.
Treasurer-Constant Johnson.
CONGRATULATIONS Palmquist
The executive committee consists of
the above named officers and the di-
rector of athletics. This committee
will make ground rules and carry out
the new policies of the association.
Any one not a student of the school
may play on the grounds upon the in
vitation of a member.
The director of athletics will make
with other colleges for
a tournament early in May. Many
local tournaments will be put through
during the season.

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


That 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 a hard pitched ball should
jump sidewise in most irregular
manner. although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly puzzling.
In the Journal of the Franklin Insti-
tute Professor W. s. Franklin of LIE
high university expounds the phenome
non as well 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 a 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 bali
does jump sidewise and in a most ir-
regular manner. This may be shown
by dropping a smooth marble in a 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 a 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 CHANGING manner past
the bat. The only requisite for this
battling effect is power in the pitchers
arm.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here.
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and is harmless to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity. 1t also neutralizes
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful ,effervescent lithia-

port-To Fight in Courts

Chicago, Ill, March 9.-Open war
fare on organized baseball was declar'
ed yesterday by President Gilmore OF
the Federal league. 1s-
When William Killifer of the PhiIa-
deiphia Nationals failed to report to Joe
Tinker. manager of the local Feds, at
headquarters yesterday, as he had
been ordered to do, Gilmore sent al
telegram to the presidents and owners
of the several clubs in the new or
ganization advising them to disregard
all former orders and to offer contracts
to any ball player, either under CON-
tract or not.
THE day of fair play is past" said
Gilmore 1--WE waited until the last
moment for Killifer to report, giving
so-called organized baseball a chance
to comply with our contracts, but we,
find that they have no regard for US (
and we must act accordingly. have
sent Killifer's contract to E. E. Gateg7
of indianapolis, our league attorney.
and have ordered him to start proceed
ing to enjoin Killifer from playing with
any team in the country excepting the
Chicago club.
Are Called "Pikers."
I'VE have been called pikers by B.
Bancroft Johnson, president OF the
American league, but we will give the
fans a chance to decide as to who is
the piker. Every owner in the league
has been instructed to go after any
player he wants. We are in the game
with load of money and we are not
afraid to spend. If money will get the
players we will wreck every major
league club.
"Killifer, by all the laws of contract,
belongs to the Chicago Federals, and
he will play there or not at all. Mr..
Gates tells me that we have clear
case of breach of contract and I do
no. think we will have any trouble en-
joining the catcher"
