FREAKS IN BASEBALL.
Apparently Clever Plays May Some
times Be Pure Luck.

Apparently Clever Plays May Some
times Be Pure Luck.
Freak plays make baseball humor-
Gus, If not interesting. Some of these
plays are said to be the result of quick
thinking; but, as a matter of fact, most
of them are simply luck.
Curious things happen. A ball fell
into a tin can, and, it being impossible
to get 1t out in time, can and all were
thrown to the baseman. Another ball
hit the end of a nail driven through
the opposite side of fence and could
not be got down until all the runners
scored.
A swift hit glances off the pitchers
hand, is snapped up by an infielder and
thrown to first, putting the man out.
Red hot liners or grounders some
times hit the first or third base bag
and glance away for singles or even
| two baggers.
The shortest two bagger known was
when the ball grazed the bat, shot up
! a few feet and fell in front Of the
| plate. AS the catcher reached for the
twirling ball it glanced from his glove
and bounded back to the stand, and
the batter made second easily.
A center fielder saw a NIT in the
way of the shortstop and walked about
sixty feet in to move it out Of the way
when he heard the crack Of the bal
and saw a hot ball coming straight a
him. He could do nothing but try t.
catch it and did to his surprise. Bu
he was given credit by the crowd fol
being a great student of batters.-Ar

HARDNESS OF WATER.
Solid Streams at High Velocity Are as
Rigid as Iron.

Rigid as Iron.
In the American Magazine a contrib
utor gives a most interesting descrip-
tion Of the resisting power Of water.
He says that solid stream of water
shot out of hose at tremendous ve-
locity is Just as powerful and destruc-
tive as a rod of iron. An extract from
the article giving an idea of the hard
ness and resisting power Of water fol-
lows:
Here is a fact which is probably
spent much Of his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This is what we
may call the hardness of the water
when a boat is running at speed.
Water at fifty miles an hour is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
bathe in. If you put your arm over
board from a hydroplane running at
fifty miles On hour and strike wave
crest the probability is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape,
and striking it is like striking so much
metal.
"In the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where stream of water under
enormous head is used to wash down
| billsides, q swordsman, in attempting
to cut into one of these streams, will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream is
| like bar of iron. The fact that water
at relative speed is so hard-or that its
inertia is so great, to be little more
accurate-is the reason why skipping
stone travels over the surface and is
| the reason why hydroplane boat
slides over the surface instead of plow-
ing its way through.
'"The picture we must have in our
minds, then, of speed boat is that she
is travelling not in water, as we or
dinarily understand 1t. but over the
surface of a semisolid, very much as
sled travels over snow"

Trade Commission. Ship Bill
About Mexico.

BY j. e. JONES

Washington, d. C.-The forma-
ton Of the federal trade commission
is almost reality and within a short
time the bureau of corporations will
pass out of existence, and the new
commission, with its broader powers,
will seek to put the finishing touches
on bad trusts and corruption that
may remain In big business Joseph
e. Davies, who has been at the head
of the bureau of corporations will
head the new commission. The
powers of the new commission have
purposely been made very broad, and
the purpose is to "flnd out" about
persons, banks, corporations, or com
mon carriers that are not doing
business according To the best
interests Of the country. The triidt
commission will also make investi
cations concerning the organization,
practices and management OF cor
porations, and their relations, as
we'll as the relations of their officers
to other corporations.
