put into effect will prevent pitchers from using this form of delivery this year. Some pitchers depend upon it almost exclusively for their effective ness, and last year they were given a year in which to make a change. They were permitted to use it lust year. but told that they must abandon it this coming season.
 Briefly the spit ball Is thrown from tho thumb The first two fingers of the hand are made slippery by saliva so that 10 friction from them results when the ball leaves the hand. such friction coming as the ball rolls from tho thumb There Is thus a downward whirl to the bah. but differing froh the whiri given 1t when a drop curve Is thrown.
 IL seems as though there were only a difference in degree of moistness allowed in the ordinarily thrown ball and the spit ball. Every pitcher nrolstcns hts fingers slightly when throwing n straight, overland ball. giving 1t an upward whirl which re- suits in what ball players call a light" ball. The tendency Is. therefore for tho ball to defy the laws of gravitation and to rise. although the rise is scarcely noticeable. Were n pitcher to moisten these two fingers so that instead of creating friction, that fric- ton would be removed. the ball would receive it from the thumb when thrown overland.
 Aside from the unfairness of prac- tically taking from some pitchers their means of livelihood. it would seem that the "spit ball'' though somewhat unpleasant. has a place in the skill of tho gamo as secure as that of the straight. light ball. or the curve.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS
- ON -

Those unfortunates who live on the Chestnut and East Main street car line are at the point of rebellion over the type of cars being used to trans port them. These cars-two in number appear to have been used as sand carriers back in the dear old days when pork chops wore selling for three pounds for a quarter which brothers and sisters, is going a long distance over the back trail.
 Various names have been applied to the cars and to the line. Among those which can pass the censor and appear in print without shocking the read ing public is the Rocking Chair Express but that is an unjust re- fiection on the rocking chair which, as most humans know, is a pleasing vehicle for wearing ruts in the setting room" carpet. There is noth- ing pleasing about the East Main Chestnut trolleys. according to those who ride in them daily. The interiors offend the eye, as we'll as the spine, and they would not be acceptable even in Cntral American village. When strangers or visitors see the cars on Main street they enjoy hearty laugh at the expense of New Britain and wonder whether we know that the Civil War is over.

TO JITNEY MEN.

To the Editor of The Herald:
 It would be more than appreciated If some of the jitney owners would run some of their busses from Main street up East Main street to East street down East street as far as Seymour avenue. Turn and go back by the way of Smalley street. A great many working people would appre- ciate a jitney mornings and evenings as it is rather discouraging to pay a 10 cent fare to ride in one of the boxes on wheels that the Connecti- cut company is running on the East Main street line, and then walk half the way in the bargain.

ANARCHISTS INGRATTTUDE.

A lawyer and a layman were con victed yesterday of being guilty of criminal anarchy. They were sem fenced to serve from i've to ten years in prison.
 When they received their sentences both were defiant. They denounced the "capatalistic judiciary system" of this country. and it they blamed for their conviction.
 The lawyer was born of iIliterate opportunities offered by our institu- tions that he had taken his place among the professional men of the country. Through those institutions and laws and the democracy of this land he had placed himself in a position to become famous.
 No other country in the world would have given the child of ignor- ant persons that chance that has been given him. The manner in which he returned the favor Was to commit nets which would tend. if carried to success, to undermine and finally destroy those Institutions through which he had gained knowledge and. education in the law. Practically he bit the hand which fed him.
 There are so many cases of this kind that it would seem their pub llrallon would be enough 10 drive fair-mtnded men. whether educated or ignorant, from the ranks Of the mas.y Of people socialisticalIy in- cIined Ingratitude is so despicabIe that those who show it become d by word. Here was ingratitudc indeed.
 Many pupils learn more than their masters can teach them. But few pupils are ungratcfuI for the nbors of those masters in aiding them to lay the foundation for the larger education gained by an application of first principles to subsequent study Those who consider themselves wiser than their teachers or wiser than those who have enabled them to gain an education seldom seek to destroy. peldom denounce their benefactors who have supplied them with the means of learning.

While on the subject of trolley cars it Is worth noting that hundreds have determined not to patronize the elec- tries after the fare goes to ten cents. The Connecticut Company is counting on increasing its revenues by means of the new rates but if the spirit throughout the state can be gauged by the spirit in New Britain it is doubtful whether their anticipatons will be realized.
 Through the generosity of nature in providing mild weather. household CTS have saved thousands of dollars in fuel which is still in the bins in stead of having found its way up the chimney. And a strange fact is that thus far the Observer has heard no words of pity expressed for the coal dealers nor no suggestion that pub lie tag day be held for their benefit.
 Had the fall been cool, as in past years, a direct hardship would have been worked on the people having only small incomes. There has been little reduction in the cost of living and an increase in the price of coal, which has been creeping steadily up ward, would have been an added bur den which few could bear.

ANENr THE HIGH SCHOOL.

1 oIIlCc,
 Church St, City.
 | Dear Editor:
 Although much has been said about
 the school system as a whole, I would | like to say few words. regarding 1 the present system at the local High l school; first is the matter of inside | suspension. If pupil has done wrong | he or she is given inside suspension, | although l might add that the young | ladies very seldom arc punished, es- | pecially the pretty ones. Inside sus- pension is usually for one or two | weeks. During that time the pupil is ! made to sit in certain room the entire time. during classes and sixth periods. Many times pupils Hunk" their report on account Of this @Of course punishment is necessary. But does it seem as if a week or moro of precious time should be wasted? Then , the matter of thn detention room,
 c"camp" as tho pupils call iD. It seems to me that pupils are treated more like babies than young men and women. If a scholar is tardy and unless he can prove that the car is lato- he is given three nights in camp and has to stay in the office the first period. Think of it. making the scholars lose one hours work when they haven't enough ''pulf' to get away with the excuse that the car was late Taking up the matter of detention room-If the pupils have sixth periods in the camp" he or she must first finish those before any work in their classes can be made up. Imagine backward scholar needing his sixth periods with ten or fifteen nights in the detention room. Has he show to pass? Tn the detention room if n pupil is liked by the teach CT in charge and he is seen whisper ing, all is quiet and serene, but if a pupil is disliked. and is seen whisper ing. ten or fifteen nights" is auto matically placed beside his name. Again. if five or ten nights are placed by mistake beside his name can they be removed? Not one might" The teacher will say, "'I do not remember about it. I suppose I gave them to you for misbehavior, and the matter is closed.
 Another cease is the matter of me- chanical drawing Since when have the pupils been made to furnish the paper in the Public schools?" Last week it was announced that all pupils using a second piece of paper on one blue print must pay one cent for a small sheet and two cents for large sheet. Such a plan could yield a nice little income to the person or per sons concerned. No more can be written now. as one of our "beloved" tea.hers is advancing upon the group.
 Please note that we are not talk ing about all the teachers. for most of them we admire and respect for the fair minded, liberty loving Am orleans that they arc.
 wish that we who composed this very mild Declaration of Rights and "Grievances" could have our names printed but if we wish to con- tinuc to attend that seat of learning we must leave our names out.

 If you would be so kind as to pub fish this declaration. we would ap- preciate it and thanking you in ad- vance we remain.
