Ban Placed On Emery Ball
/ | II ] IL tt I'll
Pitchers Are Criticised
By JACK VEIOCK

YEW YORK, June 6.-The an
N nual howl against the use OF
= the emery ball by big league
pitchers has been set up as usual
this season by disgruntled managers.
It's getting so a baseball season
would be just as much OF a success
as a burlesque show without broil-
ers If the emery ball failed to come
in for some glaring publicity, so we
take It all as a matter of course.
Are the pitchers in the big show
still using the deceptive emery ball
despite the fact that il is supposed
to be tabooed?
Speaking of some American
League pitchers, Clark Griffith
of the Nationals AYERS that they
are still tossing the elusive hall
with the feathers on one side.
He Is positive that he has caught
several pitchers in the act. and
among them f. Eddie CtcOtfe of
the White SOx. old, but sfin get
ting by and pitching some very
uncanny ball for Pants Rowland.
Is Eddie putting over victory after
victory with the aid Of a nickeTs
worth of emery paper? We don't
know, but unless umpires can get
something on him il is only fair to give
him the benefit of the doubt and say
that he isn't.
In the National League several
chirps have already been heard
against the use of the deadly emery
ball, not to mention the unfriendly
bean ball, and the pitchers who have
been winning regularly are all re-
garded with suspicion by rival clubs
and managers.
1t won't surprise the writer to hear
some manager bowling about Cy
F'alkenberg's delivery before long.
Lanky ole Cy is a veteran and also
a fox He Is a good pitcher who uses
his arm and his head on a fifty-fifty
basis and Just as soon as the weather
quits flirting with zero Cyrus is very
liable to start turning the batters
back from the plate with painful reg
ularity. Cy will be accused of using
emery before the season gets by July,
or we'll miss our guess.
Does Cyrus use the emeryf He
says not And Dick GOssett. his
catcher in the American AssOci-
alton, backs him up. GOssett
says FaIky's stock in trade IL
fast one with wicked hop on

it, and n rise ball which he starts
from below the waist line.
In the Federal League they accused
Faikenberg, Ford and all of the vet
Grams with the use of the emery,
and they threw out a good many
Dasebans because they found EN-
roughed up on one side But the
upms never found anything that
looked like emery paper on any of
me pitchers, and il probably wouldn't
nave been much use for them to have
gotten out search warrants.
me pitchers who are foxy enough
70 get away with the trick delivery
stuft are also smart enough to cover
up And 1t must be remembered that
mere are nine ball players on a team,
any one OF whom might be holding
the secret of how the little pill gets
a currying on one side which makes
II act FOOLISH on the way to the plate.

Instructions Received by the
Adjutant General Of the
State for Use if Call for
Service Comes.
REGIMENT SUBJECT
TO IMMEDIATE CALL
No Men Will Be Accepted
for Service Who Have Not
Subscribed to the Oath
Prescribed in the Army
Law.

In preparation for a possible call to
tons were Saturday received by Ad-
jutant General c. S. Moody from the
militia bureau of the war department,
governing the Second Idaho regiment.
The instructions are but precautionary,
paving the way for possible mobiliZa-
ton, and are not construed as meaning
that such a call is to be issued imme-
diately In the event, however, of
war with Germany, the war depart
ment will probably follow up the in
structions with specific orders to carry
them out to the letter.
The Second Idaho, under the terms
of the new army law. is subject to call
for actual service at any time. 1t wa
under the provisions of this bill tL,lr
It was sent to the Mexican border last
summer and 1t will be under the au-
thority contained in the same act, that
the instructions issued to adjutant
generals governing troop mobilization
in Idaho, will be followed out If the
present deems the time has arrived for
some action.
The instructions to Adjutant General
Moody specifically state that no indi-
vidual will be accepted for service who
has not taken the oath prescribed by
section 70 of the act of congress, June
3, 1916, while those who, at the date of
the call, are members of the organized
militia, and who take the prescribed

SPEAKING first,
THINKING after,
NOT A GOOD PLAN

The woman who doesn't think can
scarcely remember the time when she
wasn't warned several times each day
| by her home folk that thinking before
hand was a thing she needed to do.
She didn't like the old adage, always
| think twice before you speak once"
1t didn't appeal to her at all, with life
so short at best, and so little time 10
say all the things you wanted to say
But she kept on hearing it, through
childhood and girlhood years, and
knew very well that she needed it
worse after she had grown to the age
when folks hestitated about quoting 1t
to her. She had gone on her bungling
way, with some preverse imp ever
prompting sudden remarks that pop
ped out without having ever been tele-
! phoned up to her think shop to be
o. KID.
Sometimes the woman who doesn't
take time to think twice, or even once,
! is dreadfully sorry for the blunders
she maNes, and each time she Is sor-
ry, she resolves that next time she will
think-but she doesn't! One of the
times she remembers very distinctly is
the large afternoon affair when she
had gone expecting a rare musical
treat. She was hungry for the songs
and the instruments, especially the
cello, which she loved. She wanted
it to reach right down into the depths
of her being and tug at her heart
strings. She wasn't worrying a bit,
because she had come farther than any
other woman in the big crowd and
consequently looked a trifle disheveled.
She was having a perfectly glorious
time-and then her old falling had to
spoil it all! The big, fine looking wo-
man just in front of her turned around
and asked: rs my hat in your way?"
And, quick as wink, without thinking
even half a time, let alone twice, she
answered, "Oh, no; your hat isn't any
bigger than your head"
MEANT 1T ALL RIGHT, BUT
She meant it all right, for the hat
was Gloss -fitting toque that didn't
bother one bit, but the speech sounded
dreadfully rude. The women all
around them Uttered, and the big
woman turned back quickly with very
pink ears. The woman who didn't
think was terribly chagrined Her re-
mark sounded as If she might have
meant that the other woman had the
big head, or that she would like to
take her heal off with her hat, or any
number of rude things. The woman
in the small hat continued to look
straight in front of her, and the wo-
man behind her looked at her pink
ears, and tried to listen to the program,
but 1t was of no use. All the instru-
ments seemed to be repeating her flip
pant remark to a stranger. There was
little lull in the program, and, feel
ing that she couldn't bear to have the
beloved cello spoiled, too, the woman
who didn't think leaned forward
touched the big woman's shoulder and
begged forgiveness, trying in q STAN
mering way to explain what she really
had meant. The big woman was really
and truly and sweetly big, for she
laughed heartily and said she under
stood. Then they both settled down to
enjoy the cello. And while the music
tugged at her heart-strings, the woman
in the back seat resolved that never
again would she speak without think
ing, and maybe thinking twice-but
she Will
