The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-09-07
Emery Ball Is a Real Puzzler

confidential mood he passed the secret on to two or three other pitchers, and they in turn gave it to some other twirIers.
 Use Is Crowned On.
 But the sad thing to be noted in con- nection with the emery ball' is that its use is frowned on. In the Ameri- can association there is rule that any pitcher detected using the latest mem Der of the deception family will be find $100 and suspended for thirty days. AS far as it is known. this is the only league to take official action with re- gard to the ''emery ball." although all unpires have been instructed to main tain a close watch against it's use.
 The new twister gets it's name from the fact that the roughened surface was first produced by nassaging a small spot with piece of sandpaper. It was discovered that the act made the horsehide perform gyrations which it. had never been known to perform before. It needs to be thrown only with ordinary speed and comes Up to the plate straight and true and look batsman.
 Breaks Suddenly Near Plate.
 Now, here is what it does. When within foot or two of the plate it breaks suddenly and goes up or down, according to the way it was thrown, almost perpendicularly. The jump is generally for eight or ten inches, when it breaks suddenly again and shoots right across the plate. No batsnan in the world can gauge it. It may go up or down, or the pitcher may make it take a side motion. and unless. the catcher is aware of whats coming and the direction it will take he's as help less as the batsman.
 The element of danger to the bats man is the reason why the new ball is looked upon with disfavor. It breaks so fast that he has no chance of step ping out Of the way should he happen to get in the road of a fast throw. If the ball happened to be high and thrown to break in toward the plate Inere'd be no escape for the batter. He would get as nice a beaning as if some one stood over his head and pounded away with a club.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-09-07

batsnen fell down in attempted hit and run plays, and each time Schalk threw to Collins. Neither throw was good, be- cause the batsmen irlterfered with Schalk,. but Collins took both throws in bad positions, yet tagged out the run ners.
 Plays Great Fielding Game.
 Tn the fourth, when Gardner on third and Thomas on first tried a double steal, Collins took Schalk's throw. chased Thomas back toward first, keep ing one eye on Gardner all the time, and suddenly wheeled and threw to third, nipping- Gardner off that base In the sixth, when Speaker tried to steal second after a pass, Collins received, a low throw, scooping it off the dirt, and with catlike quickness tagged the great Iris, as he slid past That was follow led by a single and a muffed fly that would have made several runs for Bos- ton but for Collins feat.
 Tn the second game. which Chicago won, Collins got, on first every time he came to bat. In the first inning he sim gled with two out, then sneaked to sec ond when an extremely short passed ball escaped Carrigan. This put him in position to score, but Fournier missed the ball in a hit and run play. and Co1- lins was called out at third by a hair.
 Makes Homer on Speed.
 .eIn the third Collins came to bat with Weaver on second and one out. This time he mau1ed a fast liner over sec

those that fans of Cleveland are try ing to wish on to Harry Leibold, the De- troit boy who has taken his manager place in center field and is regarded as having made good in his first year in major league ball. A place on the Cleveland board of education is the thing referred to.
 At the recent primaries it was found that some of the dyed in the wool bugs of the Forest City had cast ballots for the nomination of LeiboId, Larry La joie and Vean Gregg to the board named. None. Of course, got any great number of votes. Each, in fact, got six. showing that the same fans hand ed in ballots for. each of the players.
 It isn't really material whether all or any of the young men are qualified for the job. None could take it if he were nominated and elected. Leibo1d lives in Detroit, Gregg in Washington state and Lajoie just outside the corporation limits of Cleveland. Jennings was once suggested for city attorney of Cleveland, but that is as near to po- litica1 preference as any Detroit player has got

Game of Fisticuffs an Uncertain
 Sport.

GGENIGHTING is just as uncertain a
 sport as polo, baseball or hock- ey,'s.-said a promoter the other day, commenting on the two recent knock outs in the lightweight ranks.
 @Just think of it! Joe Rivers knock ed out by Frankie Callahan and Sam my Robideau knocking out Gilbert Gal : lanti I don't remember two greater surprises since I've been connected with the game, yet both of these boys are corlzfng hitters-
 '"That knockout of Rivers is nothing short of a tragedy. I wired him to come on to New York for a bout. He sent back a night letter saying that he had started. His wire ran:
 s.ttOn tf1ey way. Will. fight my way back .so that I can pocket your expense money. Have a good match in Mil waukee, but will start the ball rolling by pumping off a boob in Memphis. See you soon. -ifs
 And" concluded the promoter, with a sad face. Callahan was the boob"
