NAP RUCKER OF BROOKLYN NATIONALS.

NAP RUCKER OF BROOKLYN NATIONALS.
In time he mastered control of the slow
ball, which, batsmen say, is harder to
hit than a speeder.
Rucker soon was able to put the ball
over the middle or corners of the plate
at will lie studied the weak points OF
the opposing hitters till he knew just
what would fool them. Last year
Fuckers pitching was confined entire
ly to slow balls. He did not deliver a
fast one all season, and his arm as a
result gradually became stronger. The
famous southpaw is beginning another
campaign with the Brooklyns
In the practice games he has shown
up well. His arm is in excellent shape,
and he is prepared to resume the task
OF serving UP the ''teasers."

three. The men did excellent work,
particularly at Seventh and Ninth
streets where room had to be cleared
for the north and south bound cars
to cross every few minutes. At these
points the push was heaviest and the
officers were kept busy holding them
In check and preventing mfshaps as

and quickly. and a half hour after the

tico, a formal entrance, the exquisite
touch in bit OF detail, the color OF
old brick and even the settled appear
ance OF an ancient wall leaning on It's
falling foundations.
These Monuments of the past rich
in history and strong in their sincere
virility should be as familiar to us as
an old childhood picture book and as
cherished as a keepsake. though they
may be of bronze or marble or
humble brick with porticos OF wood
their measure is commensurate with
their character alone. An old To-
bacco warehouse of a century ago,
quaint, massive and eternal with low
raking roof and squatty silhouette
may charm us in the mood as much
as all the exquisite bronzes of West
Mt Veron Place.
The monuments of the City and
that means all buildings OF the first
architectural merit, are its heir
looms, priceless for the generations
to come and the greatest intellec-
tual asset Of the commonwealth.
Baltimore is rich in them all and
they should be held high in the
hearts Of all its people, that the
name OF Monumental City may in
crease In meaning ais one by one new
masterpieces grow.
