PITCHING FOR STRIKE-OUTs
Manager Pat Moran's TwirIers Are
Urged to Fan Out Batters on
Opposing Teams.

Pat Moran urges his pitchers to work
for as many 'strike-outs" as possible.
Long ago Manager Pat was converted
from the Observation-Disclosures
your-support' crowd Of managers. The
handbook Philadelphia field was what
converted him, for on that arena the
strike-out pitcher is king. Even a
feeble hitter Is apt to hoist fly that
will carry over the nearby walls, but
when q man is struck out he Is dead
for the rest of the inning. Alexander,
who did his finest work for Moran, al
ways plays for strike-outs to the limit,
and Eppa Rixey has always been a
firm believer in the efficacy of the fan
out ball. With the Reds Pat has sew
eral pitchers whose leaping curves are
always apt to make the batters miss
three In a row, and he intends to give
these fingers much ieeway. Ruether
and Eller are strong On strike-outs and
Senior Luque likewise slings a cruel
fan-out curve.

Postofffce Department Says |
Has Speeded Delivery All
Over the Country.
EXTENSION Being PLANNED
New Routes Will Link Up ST. Louis
and Omaha to Speed Up DeIiv-
cries to and From the
Pacific Coast.

Washington, d. c. Records for
Transportation of mail along the east
ern seaboard and from New York city
west are being established daily by the
airplane mail service which now Is
we'll along toward its fifteenth month
of existence. The service, according
to Otto Praeger. second assistant post
master general, who is in charge, has
speeded mail delivery all over the
country.
Letters mailed in New York city or
arriving there from New England be-
fore eight O'Clock in the morning are
sent by airplane so far as possible, in
surfing their delivery in Washington by
noon. Those for Washington are sent
out on the first mail delivery in the
afternoon and those intended for cities
farther south are forwarded in earlier
trains than otherwise would be pOssi-
BILE.
The same is true of the New York
Chicago airplane mail route. The time
from New York to Chicago is cut down
to between nine and ten hours. There
is a corresponding saving on mail from
Chicago and western cities intended
for New York.
There are two airplane mail routes
in the country. one between Washing
ton and New York city and the other
between New York city and Chicago by
way of Cleveland.
Air Service to Be Extended.
Flights are made in both directions
over these routes every day, with such
success that the .postoffice department
is about to institute other routes which
will link up Omaha. Neb.. and ST.
Louis. Mo These latter routes are to
be opened almost Immediately. to care
for the volume of mail and to assist
in quick deliveries to and from the Pa
cific coast.
AirpIane mail service started on May
IS, 1918. largely as an experiment. with
Il route between New York city and
Washington. Two trips day had been
arranged, one in each direction. The
first flight from Washington was a
spectacular affair in which President

MAIL SERVICE BY
AIR is SUCCESS

Wilson and other officials figured prom
inently. and sent letters just before the
aviator started. Since that time the
service has continued without inter-
ruptiOn.
Postage for airplane mail at the time
was fixed at fifteen cents an ounce, the
pOstoffice department figuring that
speedy delivery made that price fair.
In addition to being carried by air
plane the letter was to be specially
delivered which ordinarily costs ten
cents In addition to letter postage.
Airplane mail service continued on a
paying basis for time. until the nov
city wore Off Many persons ut first
used the airplane mail for its novelty.
and the letters carried were unimpOr-
tant, apparently. At any rate, after
few months. the sale Of airplane stamps
dwindled, as did the mail.
Reduction in Rate.
Then the pOstoffice department de-
cided to fill'the pouches when possible
with ordinary first class letters. This
was continued until July IS. when the
rate for airplane postage was reduced
from fifteen cents to two. 1t is prob
able now that this rate will be con-
tinued, for while the service does not
pay for itself the added facilities in
deliveries are regarded by the post
office department as worth the price.
When the service was started the
postoffice department cO-operated with
the war department, which supplied
the airplanes and the aviators. This
arrangement had beAn suggested by
the chief signal oftitMr of the army.
who saw in the project an additional
means of training aviators for the
western front.
Army participation continued until
last November, when it was agreed for
the sake of efficiency that t. g entire
project should be taken over by the
postoffice department.
For this reason the service now il
entirely in the hands of the postoffjce
department and the aviators are Of
civilian status. However. the pilots
now engaged in the work have come
largely from the army. being officers
discharged from the service at the en-!
of the war.
The type of airplane used Is the or,li-
nary CurtisS machine. but the post
office department is preparing and. IL
congress provides the funds, will soon
put especially built airplanes at work.
These new airplanes are DIES, s,,ad
primarily for carrying mail, stabilized
automatically, so tlat there is no dam
ger of crash. In this regard thew
will be different from the army tyne
machine, in which ability to maneuver-
rapidly is an element Of safety.

known.
Practice Died Before Revolution.
There is nothing to show that the
practice outliyed the revolution. In
Maine, up to 1852, a husband was liza
bic Tor debts of his wife contracted
before marriage. and no such subter-
fuge as the snock marriage could re-
lieve him.
Smock marriages were frequently
performed in Vermont about IL century
ago. They We're entirely honorable to
both the participants. for they put
wholly aside all considerations of
financia, and selfish interest. Accord
ing to tradition, they all turned out
happily, and well they might. The
principle involved in them may be said
to have triumphed in our social life
the great majority of marriages being
now SmOck marriages in the sense that
tie parties are financially independent
of each other
Fly the way, one Of the earliest and
strongest arguments for woman Suf-
frage was the necessity of relieving
women from the financial bondage that
they We're under to their husbands 80
years ago. All that a woman had then
practically belonged to her husband.
Wendell Phillips, in his address at the
first national woman suffrage cOnven-
ton, held at Worcester in October,
1851. called attention to curious case
that had lately occurred in this state.
A man married woman who had
$4,000 of her own, inherited from her
father. Dying about year after his
marriage, this man left a remarkably
generous and manly will-he left these
$4,000 to his wife. so long as she
should remain a widow!

Lawyer Unearths Interesting In
formation About "SmoCk
Marriages."
WERE COMMON CENTURY ago
Brides Appeared in Scant Attire to
Protect Husband From Liability for
Her Debts-Various Expedients
to Preserve Modesty.

Bangor. Maine-A Bangor lawyer
attending court in the ancient town of
Wiscasset. Lincoln county, recently
went rummaging in the Colonial court
records Of the place and in the course
Of his reading came across the official
registration of a "smock marriage
Not knowing what smock marriage
was. the lawyer looked farther, and
got considerable light upon strange
custom prevalent in England CEN
fury or more ago and also to some ex-
tent in the American colonies.
SmOck marriages were weddings
where the bride appeared dressed In a
white sheet or chemise.. The reason
for such a garb was the belief that If
a man married woman who was in
debt he could be held liable for her
Indebtedness If he received with her
any of her property; and also, that If
a woman married man who was In
debt. his creditors could not take her
property to satisfy their claims If he
had received nothing from her at
marriage.
In England, says an antiquarian.
there was at least one case where a
bride was clothed in puris naturalibus
while the ceremony was being per-
formed in the great church at Birming,
ham. The minister at first refused
to perform the ceremony, but. finding
nothing in the rubric that would ex-
cuse him. he finally married the pair.
To carry out the law fully as the
people understood 1t, the ceremony
should always have been performed as
1t was in the church at Birmingham.
In the case noted. but, modesty for
bidding. various expedients were used
20 accomplish the desired end without
the unpleasant features.
Sometimes the bride stood in a
closet and put her hand through. a hole
In the door; sometimes she stood be-
hind a cloth screen and put her hand
out at one side; again, she wound
about her a white sheet furnished by
the bridegroom, and sometimes she
stood in her chemise or smock. Event

Umpire Emslie, seeing Dan

annoying that the game was de-

many of the athletes urged tbe
veteran official to leave his most

game alone.
Bob, however, refused to do
so and remained on the job for
the entire afternoon, though his
bruised wrist was giving him
constant pain. He received the
unusual compliment Of round
of applause from the fans when
it was seen that he was going 70
