FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
"Mary Tudor"
Bloody Nary

Mary Tudor, Queen of England and
Referee of Ireland, was a. growing
young. girl when Chris Columbus be-
gan talking to Isabella about the land
where Blue Sundays were the big
thing in life.
Mary, affectionately known as
Bloody Mary reigned in England
and stormed in Ireland until she
achieved the age of forty-two-not
bad when one considers the dissipa-
tions she was addicted to.
Mary, not unlike the. modern girl,
loved excitement and was wont to
while away the quiet evening hours,
burning her enemies at the stake.
Mary was engaged to marry The
Dauphin not birdD but threw him
over when she learned that Charles
the Cinco owned match factory and
would furnish her burnings free.
Later she developed an appetite for
Spanish Omlettes and in order to get
the real thing, married King Phillip
of Spain.
The two did the fandango for a
number of years, during which Jane
Grey (not the modern actress) tried
to grab her job, and other envious
women tried to oust her.
Mary died, but not until after she
had run up batting average of three
hundred in the body burning league"
of her day. Mail is still addressed
to her at various butchering centers
along the Cornish coast

Small Pox In PitkIn

Pitkin Miner.
Last Saturday one of the little Gar
cia boys was noticed down town and
was broken out with some sort of
rash. Mayor Henderson's attention
was called to the matter and it was
thought best to call health officer,
as it was feared it was small pox
Accordingly County Physician Rus
sell was called and upon examination
pronounced the lad suffering from a
very light case of small pox. The
family was placed in quarantine, and
it is hoped that the epidemic will
stop with the one case. The boy is
a Mexican.

SIX GOOD COWS ON EVERY FARM
Is New Slogan of LarImer Co. Farmers

"Six Good Cows on Every Farm
is the new slogan of Larimer farmers,
according to d. C. Bascom, county
agent, who leaves today for Wiscon-
sin to purchase at lease three car
loads of dairy stock for the Fort Col
Inns and Wellington districts.

every farm in this county," Mr.. Bas-

hold it and have program at which
the farmers problems will be dis
cussed. If the business man could
| only see his way clear to put his sur
plus cash in dairy COWS, instead of
oil stock, the community would be
benefited immensely"
Mr.. Bascom quoted w. E. Letford,
president of the First National bank
at Johnstown, with saying that no
farms in the Johnstown district had
been mortgaged during the past two
years. Mr.. Letford is positive this is
the result of the community taking
to dairying on an extensive basis.
Dairy Tour Successful
Wednesday morning thirty-five
farmers from this part of the county
made tour of the Johnstown dairy
district. They visited the Ralph Har-
ris farm north of Johnstown, the
Whowell and Policy registered Hol-
stein herd west of that town, the
Crowley and Letford herd south of
Milliken and the E. ]. Bender and Son
Guernsey farm southwest of Johns
town. At several of these places COM
plete but inexpensive equipment is
used and it was these herds that
proved especially interesting to the
touring party as most of the mem
bers are just starting into the dairy
ing business on more extensive
scale. The tour was conducted from
Johnstown by Mr.. Letford, ]. w. Who

'HolU 1 ILnuented the First Cure Ball"

william Arthur Cummings, of
Athoi, Mass. invented the first
curve ball back in the Sixties"
He has written his own story of
how he did il and how he would
pitch to Bath Rube today for
The Evening Journal.
BY WILLIAM ARTHUR CUMMINGS
Inventor of the Curve Ball in 1867
Watching a clam shell sail gave
me the first idea of a curve ball.
Once had the idea planted in my
head. I started in to see il 1 could
get the same results with a baseball.
The boys around my neighborhood
ridiculed the idea They called the
ball I threw the Cray Cummings
curve"
told them I would get il per-
fected some day and that they would
then take their hats OF to me- They
did.
1t took me three or four years to
get the curve ball working.
After that had to perfect it so it
would break where l wanted IL.
How TO Do IL.
1 had to pitch the bali with one
foot just inside the front line of the
box, the other inside the rear line.
The arm had to be swung perpen-
dicular and the ball delivered below
the waist.
If anyone thinks he can curve a
bali as feet from the plate under
those restrictions, just try it.
AS the ball left my hand I was
allowed to step forward.
During my four years with the
Star Amateur Club of Brooklyn /
had the curve working nearly per-
feet
played professional ball for six
years.
Under present rules anyone with
a good arm can get all the curves
and breaks with a ball.
But we couldn't in those days-not
unless we fooled the umpire.
can do most OF the curves and
breaks now with n little practice,
but not full speed.
Pitching to Babe.
have been asked how would
pitch to Babe Ruth. That's hard
nut to crack. would serve him
the same kind of balls did all left
handed hitters.
I've never seen Babe bat.
But here's how I'd throw to him:
Raise curve close to his hands.
High out curve that would start
close to the plate and drop outside.
start the BAH two feet outside the
plate and high and make it curve in
and drop to the knee on inside of
plate.
1 should change the program each
time he faced me. Also, I'd change
the speed OF each ball.
Outgucss Ruth.
I'd like to look him over and try
to outguess him.
have figured this out, assuming
! was in my prime and had the same
speed 1 possessed in 1875 and '76.
A free batter like Babe win go
after a ball that looks good, but you
couldn't fool him often on the same
ball.
I'd start the BAH the same way
every time, but make It go another
way.
To do this. a pitcher must have
perfect control. confidence in him
self and outguess him.
A pitcher must also have perfect
control of his temper.
That's how I'd pitch to Babe Ruth
and I don't think he'd get any home
runs Off my curve bah.

Dempsey needs only to hold the

possible-improve rs per cent and
still have little chance of winning.
Carpenter is in as perfect shape
as It is possible for him to reach.
lie could go in the ring tomorrow,
capable of fighting his best.
But his best notch Is not good
enough for the rugged mauler from
Manassa-
His Pride Helps
He has the speed. skill. wonderful
strength for his pounds. courage,
and above all-pride OF achievement.
But his comparative frailty of
body is against him.
Attempts to build himself up 70
Dempsey's scaling has failed. He
can put on but a couple of pounds
without hurting his form.
His speed is undiminished. He
throws his punches with the same
accuracy and force as shown in
earlier workouts.
Not Big Enough.
But his size will not do at all
against the rushing. tearing, ham
mering. savage attack OF the cham
pion.
True, the Frenchman rs ideally
built both for offense and defense.
