Sore cOrns, hard corns, soft corns or

lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness Or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can

BY PAUD PURMAN.
There's q, lot Of talk this season
about a new kind of ball used effec-
lively by several pitchers and which
has been known as the shineball, Ii
corice ball, talcum power ball and
what not.
Its use. so far as reports show, has
been confined to the American league
and for the most part to pitchers on
the Chicago club.
The name "shineball" probably is
the best way to designate the innova-
ton, which ballplayers declare has a
peculiar break, which is only exceed
ed by that Of the illegal emery ball.
As the emery ball was produced by
the use of a small rough spot on the
ball, the shineball is similarly caused
by a small, very smooth spot on the
ball. This may be caused by rubbing
talcum powder, licorice or any other
smooth. slippery substance on the
ball.
Eddie Cicotte and Danforth of the
White Sox, and Cy Falkenburg Of the
Athletics, are said to have developed
the ball particularly we'll, although
other pitchers are said to be using it

TEAMS BATTLING
In PARK TODAY
Warren and Brinsmade are
Clashing on Local Diamond
in Last Game of Season.

The Warren and Brinsmade base
ball aggergations are battling for hon
ors on the Dacotah Park diamond this
afternoon, in what will probably be
the last ball game staged in Grand
Forks this year.. The diamond Is in
better condition than yesterday. With
Drake in the box for Brinsmade. Man
ager Gill expects to make a winning.
The Warren northern leaguers hit
Shoulders hard in the seventh inning
yesterday, and brought in seven runs,
defeating Brinsmade II to 4.
The field was soft, checking to some
extent the speed of the players, but
the fair sized crowd was not disap-
pointed with the exhibition. The
first count was made by Magic OF
Warren in the second inning, but his
teammates, Wotell, Durham and Will
kus tailed in the third, leaving a 4
to 0 score for Brinsmade to battle
against.
The game, while far from being
errorless, was a good article of ball.
Walker at short retains his record for
speed and accuracy, handling the pill
with a, snap and pep that would go
second played his usual errorless
game. Bennett, the big colored catch
er, proved a sensation with the stick
and although working we'll behind the
plate, he did not display the ability
that ne is capable of while working
with Drake, the famous negro artist
who will pitch this afternoon.
Warren's work on the field and with
the clubs yesterday speaks for the
twirling and the fac that he allowed
the heavy hitting Brinsmade club but
four hits, kept his own team well in
side of the safety line.

the shiny spot Is on one Of the poles
of rotation. Experiments show that
the friction of the, air OF the sides OF
a moving ball is somewhat greater
than the velocity of the ball. The
natural surface Of even q new base
ball is rather rough and the friction
would be less on the surface made
shiny by the application of talcum
powder or licorice.I
This tends to pile up the air on the
side Of the ball which has not been
"doctored" and slow up the speed of
that side.
The air cushion causes a pressure
on the side Of the ball which has not
been "shined" and pushes the ball in
the other direction.
This is the mystery of the Shine
ball"
The use Of the ball by "Cy' Falken-
burg is particularly interesting.
Falky was the second man to use
the emery ball, which had been in
vented by Russell Ford. He used it
first at Toledo with such effect that he
was sent back to Cleveland. from
which club he had been farmed. In
1914 Falky, then regarded as an old
man in baseball, a pitcher who had
outlived his usefulness, won his first
10 games. He finished the season
with an earned run average Of 2.21.
The use Of this ball was discovered
the following year when both Ford
and Falky went to the Federal league
The use Of the shineball this year
was first noticed in a game pitched by
Falkenburg in a game between the
Athletics and Cleveland May %.

Its breaks are similar to those of
