Who Had the Greatest Slow Ball?

 Ford mixes his slow ball with speed and the ''spitter.''
 FaIkenberg says he copied his slow one from Virgil Garv1n when both were with Pittsburgh. Fallxy grips the ball far back in the palm of his hand holding 1t between the butt of his thumb and the palm and releasing the pill without friction, 50 1t hardly rec wolves as 1t sails to the plate.

Many Freak Plays This Season

Other extraordinary features include twenty bases on balls by Pitcher Harry Harper in a game between Minneapo- lis and St. Paul of the American asse- ciation: the winning of two games in one day by Pitcher Mellinger of Cedar Rapids team of the Central associa- tion. who allowed fifteen hits and two runs in twenty-four innings against Marshalltown: a twenty-two inning scoreless tie game between Burlington and Keokuk in the same association; George Cutshaws two safe hits on one pitched ball. which Umpire 3Klern de- clared legal in the Brooklyn-Chfcago game of July 10. and Left Fielder Rube, Oldring's failure to take the field with the rest of his teammates until several balls and strikes had been call ed upon the batter. due to an interest ing conversation with Joe Sugden in a recent Athletic Browns game at St. Louis. These are only a few of the queer plays of the year.

HOW THE WHITE SOX LANDED JOE JACKSON

A TTEMPTS of Federal league agents
 to sign Joe Jackson just prior to his sale to the White Sox threatened to precipitate court proceedings against the Chicago third league team and also postpone indefinitely an agreement be- tween organized baseball and the Gi1- more organization, leading to peace. in the national pastime.
 This was learned recently from a re- liable source. Ban Johnson the other day was in Cleveland to convince President Somers of the Indians that he has a clear case against the Feds and if the American league chief has his way Weeghfnan's team will be compelled to defend itself ia court for tampering with a player under an iron clad contract.
 Calls It a Clear Case.
 There never was a clearer case on record of agents deliberately tamper- ing with man under ironclad con- tract than that of Joe Jackson, whom ten word to play with Cleveland for three years" asserted one who. claim ed to know the facts.
 Why Jackson Was Sold.
 Yes. that Is why Jackson was placed on the market by Cleveland and why the White Sox bought him. -Presi- dent Somers was incensed over the tactics of the Feds, and the fact that Jackson was in conference with them made it imperative that he be sold to some other team. as Somers was through with him.
 Joe Tinker After outf1eIder.
 ''Loe Tinker was trying to get Jack son to sign with the Feds. Secretary Blackwood got wind of it and went to Jackson's home. He found Tinker there. He called Jackson out and asked what he was doing. He told him he couldn't play with any Federal league team as he was under a con- tract to play with Cleveland and that contract couldn't be broken
 Wanted to Leave Cleveland.
 As the story goes. Jackson rejected the Fed offer and agreed to play for some other team, preferring the White Sox. The Cleveland batting phenom- enon had been banned by a number of Cleveland baseball writers and wanted to get away from there. it is said. !.
 President Conniskey has benefited immensely by the foraging tactics of Joe Tinker, the Federal leagues great est scout. When Tinker went after Walter Johnson and influenced him to leap to the Whales it caused a panic in American league circles. The sale of Eddie Collins to the White Sox at a recordS Sprice followed.
 Now comes the same irrepressible Tinker and goes after Joe Jackson. His persuasive powers have worked their same magic spell over the south ern, swatsmith. Jackson was spell

Polo Is a Rich Mans Game

 Polo is a milionaire's game. Only men of means can stand the expenses connected with the game. purchasing ponies. their keep and men to care for the mounts. It is stated on good au- thority that w. A Hazard of New York at one time had sixty mounts that were worth easily $5O.000. This season he owns about forty of the highest priced thoroughbreds suitable for polo playing
 A young polo player at Bryn Mawr. whose finances are somewhat limited. states that to start in the sport re- quires at least four mounts, valued at $500 each. about $2OO for equipments, saddles. brides, etc; s30 per month for keep and $50 per month for salary of groom and boy, making total of about $3.00O per year.

Aim of Ball Player Better Than That
 Of Rifle Shooter

EIWow! Did you see that throw?"
 Such an expression has been on the lips of almost every baseball fan dozens of times, as he has witnessed an outheIder, after making beautiful running catch. whip the ball from deep in the outf1eId to home plate without hesitating to consider the distance
 Just like a shot from a rif1e.' these fans have added as the throws have spanked into the catcher's mftt in time to catch a runner attempting to score from third. and they marveled at the accuracy. The fans would marvel still more if they knew that under the con- ditions the marksmanship of the out fielder was more accurate than would have been that of the average rifieman.
 If some of the followers of the latter activity doubt this just try running backward or sideways for fifteen or twenty yards and then without hesitat ing attempt to make a bullseye 225 or 25o feet away. Then, after you have failed by several feet or yards, fess up.
 The truth of this assertion probably is no more strikingly brought out than in wartime. when retreating force, in order to do any damage to it's pQr- suers. must first be called to a halt be- fore it's fire becomes accurate, Thus it was in the case of the Russians in a recent drive by the German army, for it was not until the former reached points of advantage,- where they could be halted without great danger. that the drive of the Teuton forces came to a stop.
 The secret of the superior accuracy of the outhelder over the rifernan is instinct.
 The instinct to use the arm in throw ing is known to every boy and man and many girls and women. It evil dences itself very early in life and the throwing of sticks and stones or other objects among boys of meager age is a, custom well known to everybody and recorded many hundreds of times on juvenile court records. This instinct is developed to the limit in the major league ball player. and it is because of this that his throwing. under the con ditions he works. is more accurate than would be the marksnaanshfp of the 'av- craze rifienan under the same condi- tions.
 Among the most accurate throwers in the big leagues today. the trio of Red Sox gardeners-Tris Speaker, Harry. Hooper and Duffy Lewis-form the greatest collection. The St. Louis Browns boast Shotten; the St. Louis Cardinals. Wilson; the Washington Senators. Clyde Milan: the New York Giants, George Burns, and the Brook lyn Dodgers. Zack Wheat. who, with the three BostonIans, class as the ex- elusive set of fine whipped outhelders.

BASEBALL play in the major and
 rnInors leagues this season has been productive of number of unusual performances. some of which have es- tablished records or surplanted those existing for some years. They include almost every department of the game. and at the rate they are piling up 1915 is likely to be remembered as the year, of odd features.
 Tn the Pacific Coast league Jack Ness. first basenan of the Oakland team. batted safely in forty five consec- utive games for total of seventy hits. breaking Ty Cobb's record of one or more hits in forty straight games made in 1911. Previous to Cobb's advent the record was held by Hal Chase. who, in 1907. batted safely inltwenty- seven con secutive contests. The same year that Cobb was hitting so consistently Otis Clyner was establishing the minor league record of safe hitting in twenty five straight games.

A GOOD ONE GOT AWAY.

WONDERFUL are the ways of the
 major leagues. The Detroit club is popularly supposed to have spent $15,000 to land Bill James. Last win ter they might have had Eddie Plank for $2.5o0. Thus far OF Ed has won fourteen games and lost eight with a light hitting club addicted to slumps- It is reasonable to suppose with the Detroit artillery behind him Plank would have won twenty games by this time. and that would 'cinch the gon- falon for the Tigers
 He might have done the same for any other American league club, yet they gave Eddie the twice over and the go-by.

 There are four good present day slow ball hurlers-Russ Ford. with his soap bubble'' ball: Falkenberg, with his reverse emery" Mathewson. with his "fadeaway,'' and Crandalls with his snake curve"
 Crandan went to the majors at an age when most pitchers are nearly all in. and his arm was none too strong. He was wonder for few innings, and McGraw used him to finish games for gfaltering fast ball pitchers.
 Eaters say Cranda1l's slow ball floats

A BASEBALL fan has asked. to de-
 eide an argument, for the name of the pitcher who in all baseball history had the greatest slow ball.
 That question has been put to the wise men of baseball many times, and they have never agreed. Old Hoss Radbourne, Clark Grifhth, Hank o'Day. Virgil Garvin. Christy Mathewson.< Otis Crandau. Russ Ford. Fred Falkenberg and Eddie Summers have been named
 Summers. with Detroit in 1907 and part of 1908. had wonderful slow ball. It was his ''l1nuckler.'' After time gripping the ball tore his finger nails
