ESSENTIALS OF PITCHING.
First Comes Control, Then knowledge
of Batter's Weakness.

First Comes Control, Then knowledge
Of a Batter's Weakness.
Control is the thing" say all the
great pitchers, and all the great pitch
ers agree that d study OF the batsman
is next in Importance. There are GER
tain batters who can punish certain
kinds of balls, while against differ
ent style Of pitching they are CORE
spondingly weak: If a batter likes a
fast ball at the waist line it becomes
the duty Of the wise pitcher never to
give him a ball to his liking. Perhaps
he is weak on a curve ball at the knee
on the outside. The foxy pitcher
makes a specially Of offering him that
kind Of delivery TN abundance. In de-
Gliding what is best to pitch to the va
rious batters a brainy catcher is, Of
wonderful assistance.
Then, too. the pitcher must study
situations. When he divines that
sacrifice is the. play it is usually the
best plan to keep the ball high. Such
ball IS harder to meet squarely,
while. it is almost, impossible to give it
definite direction On low ball the
skillful bunter can usually place it to-
ward first or third: as is desired. For
batters who have" a tendency to pull
away pitchers usually keep the ball on
the outside. mostly depending on the
curve. Seldom do batters who pull
meet such balls squarely. AS rule
they hit fast balls on the inside hard.
The batter who hugs the plate closely
and steps into the"ballis bothered most
by a fast ball on the inside. as it has
a tendency to make him meet the ball
on the handle. thereby losing most Of
the force he puts into the swing.
The pitcher must also take into con-
sideration the position Of his infleld
and must know who is covering the
base on throw. so that he may pitch
to aid his infelders:-Billy Evans in

LOVE LINKED WITH DEATH.
Where Women Propose and if Reject
ed Must Kill Themselves.

Where Women Propose and if Reject
ed Must Kill Themselves.
In the Pacific ocean. between Fiji.
New Guinea. New Caledonia and the
continent of Australia, lies the Melane-
sian group of islands, where head hunt
ers and cannibals abound. Strange
and grewsome as are many of the Gus
toms Of the tribes, there are some that
are most romantic. For instance, on
the island Of Tucopia the women pro-
pose marriage instead Of the men.
When a girl of Tucopia sees man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her husband she does not
rush up to him and ask him to marry
her. On the contrary, she gives the
subject deep. thought and often the
man a most careful investigation be-
fore she pops the question" The rea-
son is that his answer spells life or
death to her.
1t Is a tribal, law that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore woman asks
a mans hand only when she feels
Sure that his answer will be the hap
Ply one. -~.
Many are the strange and seemingly
inexplicable questions with which the
women Of Tucopia ply the stranger
who cannot realize the personal mo-
tive back Of the solicitude of the dusky
bellies who inquire If he is married or
not and the state of his wifes health.
Romances are consequently very apt
to turn out in happy marriage.
But there have been inpumerable in
stances when q poor girl, smitten by
the newcomers charms, has been COM
PEELED to kill herself because the man
with whom she has fallen in love has
had to refuse to marry her.
Badness with the women Of Tucopia
is a sign of beauty. and never until
she is bald does Tucopia woman be-
come fully convinced that she is really
lovely. ~Es~.-,,'
But. bald or not. she takes great
care whom she asks to marry her. for
the tribal law has never been known
to fail. If rejected woman does not
kill herself she, is executed under the
most dishonorable conditions by the
leaders Of the tribe.-Buffalo News.

BUILD HOUSES
ON VALLEY LAND
DR.. Mead Urges Landown-
ers to Improve Tracts and
to Loan Settlers Money.

Land oyV ners Of the Rio Grande val
lev who wish to settle the unimDroved
acres should build houses upon these
lands and make improvements upon
them" said Dr. ElWOOd Mead, PROBES
sor of the University Of California
THE project now has the advantage
that il has demonstrated what the
lands Will produce and a stable value
has been fixed upon the improved prop
erty, based on what il win produce
Anyone coming here can buy improved
land and know exactly what it Is
worth: this is not true of the unim-
proved lands To establish a perma-
nent value such lands should have
houses upon them"
Is Cheaper Way.
Dr. Mead pointed out that it was far
cheaper TO provide adequately for the
incoming farmer by proper housing and
implements than to let MIN incur these
costs. plus the extravaganza Of expert
ments.
He also advocated the loaning OF
money TO the farmers at five percent
with the privilege of paying I Il per-
cent on the principal annually and tho
