Intentional Pass
PrOUes Boomerang
For Vol Batter

The intentional pass, odious al
ways, lost ball game for the
Chicks in Nashville Thursday.
Bill Thweatt walked Catcher JON
nard, of Nashville. in order to get
TO Newell. supposed to be a weak
hitter. and Newell broke up the
game with n single through the box.
This is as 1t should have been.
Any time a pitcher deliberately
walks q batter the succeeding swat
ter ought to swat the ball out Of the
lot, And they usually do. The So
called strategy OF walking one bat
ter to get to another works about
one time in fifty,
The intentional pass has no place
in real sport. and it's always re-
freshng when any pitcher, be he
homeling or a hostile, fails to get
away with 1t.

AMBER FORMED BENEATH SEA
Natural Resin Of Plnss Turned Into
Precious Material BY the Action
Of the ElementA

The worlds supply Of amber. that
rare and therefore precious substance,
the gold of the NORTH" as 1t has been
called. comes from the coast Of Sam
land in the eastern Prussian PENN
sula. between the towns Of Burstrort
and Palmnicken. and here the shafts
of a famous mine run out under the
Baltic and the miners are actually
working under water. Ages ago the
country was q land Of pine forests
which the ocean overwhelmed; the
pine trees vanished beneath the sur
face Of the sea. and then. century by
century, the wood became fossillzed
and the natural resin of the pines was
turned into amber. Millions Of years
were needed to transform the resin
into amber, and the search for amber
has developed romantic and picturesque
episodes like those that have become
part and parcel Of the story Of gold
and diamonds. An amber mine, how
ever, is not necessarily under water
and there IL an open-air mine at Palm
nicken where amber Is dug for In much
the same way as diamonds are s0ugh
in the mines of Kimberley. In nor
NAL times this one mine provides oc
cupation for about 5000 ambe'
seekers.

-Four centuries ago Ysrdinand Me-

rope. His was the 6rst circumnaviea-
ton Of the earth. Had he not been

along with Ladrone and Guam islands.
and was intent on making them Span

The discovery Of America By Co

Europeans that the earth was round,
but the findings Of Magellan clinchsd
the argument. He started with crew
Of 40 men and nve vessels, but the
one ship that survived the cruise only
took back q remnant Of that party.
Many died Of scurvy. and some fell
during mutinies and battles With M

worlds geography. He outlined ths
entire eastern coast Of South America
His discoveries offered the Spaniarda
