FAILURE To GET
RESULTS REASON
Owner Ed Smith Takes DraS-
tic Step to Insure a Bet
ter Ball Club.

Harry Smith, manager Of the
South Bend baseball club has been
released by Owner Ed Smith, ac-
cording TO word received in South
Bend from Ed Smith Monday morn
ing. Ed Smith will take charge of
the club himself.
Fans who have had the inside
dope have been expecting such a
move for some time, for Harry
Smith has not been able to win ball
games, and according TO statements
by owner Ed, has been putting the
interests of the players above the
interests of the club.
Another reason is that Harry has
not been able 10 secure ball players,
although Ed has told him repeated
ly to go ahead and get the players
he needed TO make the ball club a
winner
An example of the favoritism
shown the players was that of the
last game against the Fort Wayne
club here, when Smith refused to
jerk Bill Robertson, although he
was being pounded for base hits
apIenty. Had "A substitute pitcher
been put i'm, the ninth inning rally
of the Benders might have won the
game.
Harry Smith is without a doubt
one of the cleanest ball players and
managers in the minor league ball
today. He has had major league
experience as player and man
ager and enjoyed a good season with
Wheeling last year. He has been
unable to get results with the local
club this year, however. and his re-
lease was the climax
This is one OF the most important
changes promised local fans by own
Ell Ed Smith. Several players are
hanging in the balance at the pres
ent time. and their releases may be
expected when the club returns
from its road trip next Thursday.

WHY NOT SKATE ON GLASS?
Science Explains Why Any Smooth
Surface Will Not Answer Purpose
as Well as Ice.

Why is 1t that steel skates glide so
readily over an ice surface? The
structure of the ice does not explain
this phenomenon. Nor does this mode
of locOmOtion depend on the smooth
ness of the ice-sheet. Glass may be
had with q very smooth surface, but
it would be very poor stuff to skate on
if available. The sport of ice skating
depends on the fact that water ex-
pands on freezing; for, since ice Is of
greater bulk than water, any force that
tends to reduce it's bulk will also tend
to change it back to water. AS the
whole weight of the skater rests with
each stroke on the narrow, sharp edge
of his skate, 1t follows that quite
large pressure is exerted on a very
small area of the ice surface. The re-
suit is that the ice melts and the
skater glides forward on film of wa
ter of the width of pencil-line, which
Immediately refreezes after the skate
edge has passed.
The colder the ice the greater must
be pressure to bring 1t to the melt
ing point, hence the fact that on very
cold ice it is difficult to make the
skates "bite." In any event only
slight amount of melting takes place,
for it requires about 1000 pounds Of
pressure to the square inch to reduce
the melting point by one degree cent?
grade. This may seem high pressure
to be exerted by skater, yet when it
is remembered that the edge Of skate
is only a very small fraction of
square inch in area, and that ice Is
seldom very much colder than the
point (since there is usually
water below the ice sheet at 80
Fahrenheit waiting to be cooled
to the freezing point, 1t will be
that this explanation is
quite reasonable.-O d. Won Bngeln in
Harper's Magazine.

six-ROom House With Many Special Features.

items of expense which do not enter
into the original estimate. 1t seems
unavoidable that the cost of a house
will be more than the estimate indi-
Gates. The man who has had expert
ence in building and finishing houses
usually figures a small percentage of
the estimated investment as a reserve
to make up for items of this sort.
The advice of the experienced to the
inexperienced builder of homes would
probably be: "Plan house which is
just the size you think you need and
then build it one-third smaller" The
chances are that the increased quality
of material and workmanship which
may be used in the smaller house over
what could be obtained for the same
money in the larger house, will give
the owner more satisfaction than he
could obtain from the slightly larger
rooms and the more bulky appearance.
Another thing which home builders
should think about is the expense of
finishing and furnishing the new
house. 1t is largely through the effect
of these items that the house is trans
formed into the home, although it is
necessary, of course, to incorporate the
fundamental hOmelike qualities into
the house itself. At any rate, lib
eral allowance should be set aside for
the purchase of articles of furniture,

One Thino He Knew.
