TERRIFIC HAIL STORM
CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE

i "J HACOA uOOIl' august 20,
Snowflake and vicinity was Wis
tied by a terrific hail storm. 1t
occurred shortly after six O'Clock
IN the evening and was violent
in the extreme. Hailstones vary
ing in size from that of a pea to
that OF plums fell in torrents.
Numerous specimens measured
were over an inch long. The
shower was in two distinct parts,
going over and then coming back.
Strange to say the storm was
was very local. Taylor was
practically untouched and it ex-
tended bl; alittle way .northward.
1t is reported, however, to have
gone westward and the ranchers
in the Dry Lake country are said
to have suffered serious losses.
The damage in town was prin-
clpally to growing crops. The
few who failed to have their
grain harvestednaturally suffered
more than those more fortunate.
All, however, sustained severe
losses of hay, fruit and vege-
tables. The total damage to
crops may be conservatively es-
timated at from ten to fifteen
thousand dollars.
But not alone was damage
done to crops. Nearly every
house in town leaked more or
less. In two or three instances
where prepared roofing was used,
the hailstones beat through like
seive. Evan j. Larson and
family completely 'foated out"
of their residence and are now
domiciled at w. E. Stratton's.

Leaves, twigs and branches of
trees were cut off in myriads.
and one huge cottonwood was
completed uprooted. This, of
course, was due to the assistance
of an exceptionally strong wind.
For an hour or two afterward
streets were veritable canals and
the physical appearance of the
city somewhat resembled that of
the far famed Venice (not Cali

by all, presumably; but no SER

To sum it all up, reliable au-

most since the birth of Snow
flake, declare that it was harder,
faster and more destructive in
in it's nature, than any storm
this country has ever known.

$40 feet. That was before had become
pitcher exclusively. Nv arm surely is
more powerful today than II was then,
ana yet do not feel sure that 1 could
throw ball $50 feet with any degree Of
speed ! suppose / accustomed my mus
eles to the 6O-foot distance and they re-
tuse TO do more than that for me-
One of the players who does the most
SURPRISING things in the way of throwing
the ball is the catcher. lie does not have
70 throw many, compared to other play
ets' but when he is called upon to heave
the ball TO second base, to get a man
stealing, he must throw IL like rife
ball on line and true l know several
catchcrs Who couldn't pitch two innings
aud who could not begin to get a BAH
IRON the outfeld to the home plate with
speed behind it. Yet. they seldom fail
base.
1t must be a terrible sensation for a
player to feel his arm going back on him
] never have experienced IL, l am thank
iul to say, but I have heard men say
that they realized when ball left their
hand that 1t did not have anything be-
hind II.
DIFFERENT MUSCLES DEVELOPED
You probably know men who could lift
n couple of hundred pounds with one arm,
Yet they could not throw a basebn q
across Broad street. That always seemed
peculiar to me, but at the same time I
realize that the muscles required to lift
2O pounds and those that propel the
baseball 200 feet or more are quite diff
ferent.
To prove TO you that even the different
kinds of throwing required on a ball field
require specialization, l need only to tell
you that the average manager will not
permit an outfelder to throw a ball hard
length n iDnn 10
IN warming UP. The managers contend
That il Is bound to ruin the outfielder's
arm in time.
Now is ii not strange that an out
fielder's arm should be injured by throw
ing the baseball 30 feet when he is called
upon to make throws several times as
long in game?
You cannot possibly appreciate, unless
you are on the ball field where you can
see it. what a difference there is be-
tween the throws of ball players. Take
two outtielders, and so far as a man in
the stand can see, one will heave a ball to
the plate just as fast as another. Yet
when you are down there watching the
ball travel you know that one man has
more of zip TO his throw than the other.
In other words, one gets the ball to its
destination just a second before the other.
SPEED is WHAT COUNTS.
a seCoHu' OF iractlon OF second, may
mean whole lot in baseball. Put a fast
runner on the bases and the slight differ
ence In two arms, not noticeable TO the
fan, will mean safe or "out" for him
at the plate or any of the bases. It's not
so mulch the question of the true drec-
ton of the heave, or the way the ball
hops, but the speed behind it,
And there is just where an arm counts.
The arm of ball player Is his meal

power in 1t no amount of hitting. speed on
the bases or baseball brains will get him
