 Cow Holds Up Train.
 The passengers on the 2:20 train that passed through here to Hartford yes terday had bit of a thrill and com edy which delayed the train for ten minutes and made the crew work over- time The train had just left Berlin JuncvtiOn and had picked up enough speed to get to Hartford on time when there was a series of frenzied shrieks from the locomotive whistle, a grind ing of brakes and a stop that was so sudden that a man just about to meld so kinds in a, game hf ptnocle stuffed the kings down his opponents S collar in confusion.
 The passengers knew that something must have happened so they all rushed to the front Of the car. When they reached the front of the train there was a. black COW on the track. about ten feet in front of the locomotiv The cow was annoyed and stood with feet braced and head down and ap- parentIy had no intention of giving any ground to the noisy engine and it's crew. The passengers suggested sev- eral places that the COW could go, but it did nothing of the kind.
 We'll scare her" the engineer said and he grabbed the whistle cord and gave an ear-spIitting shriek. The COW raised her head for better look and responded:
 NIooooooooo"-and then put her head down again, satisfied that she Could make as much noise as that thing.
 The conductor tried to talk kindly to the COW. but that method didn t work. The man who tried to meld so kings suggested getting out and read ing the government regulations to her coWship. A mass attack was agreed upon to remove the animal from the tracks so sticks were procured and the attack began. The COW showed ex- ccllent military judgment and it took some time before the crew was able to remove the disturber. The engine whistled again, the passengers clim bed aboard and the train was on it's way Oal<um Picking at M. F.. Church.

SPITBALL SAFE
FOR ANOTHER SEASON
in MAJOR LEAGUES

The spitball has gained another
lease IN life. When the American
Association barred the moist delivery
during the winter it was freely pre-
dicted that the major leagues would
follow suit n that the pitchers who
depended upon that brand Of pitch
ing would have to go back to straight
pitching or get out Of the league.
But the majors refused to take the
action and the pitchers are safe for
another season at least.
The objections to the spitball are
numerous. Being an unnatural de-
livery it is claimed that it's use is ar
unfair advantage on the part of the
pitcher and hat batting averages suf-
fer. 1t is also said that infielders are
likely to muff the moistened sphere
causing ragged fielding.
There are few major league pitch
ers who depend entirely upon the
spitball. in fact the delivery is used
mostly as a camouf1age. The batter
is put at a decided disadvantage when
a pitcher pretends to moisten a ball
and then comes through with Il
straight delivery. because he has been
expecting one thing and having set
for it gets something entirely differ
ent.
Eddie Cicotte used the spitball as
much as any other pitcher during the
last season. He wa also accused Of
using the shine ball which he denied.
At any rate Cicotte was pretty sue
cessful and there are probably many
pitchers who would like to have had
Cicotte's formula.
Jack Chesbro was one of the great
est opponents of the spitball. His
record of Al victories in one season
has eve been %equalled and his sue
cess was due mainly to the use of the
moistened sphere.
