Ho,, to Tell a Ball PLAYER.

When Cliff Markle. the ex-Yankee
was sent to Atlanta. some one told
Charlie Frank he couldn't be handled.
Too much temperament. was the
general verdict.
Hes the man I want" Frank
remarked after the first ten days.
There's always one good sign OF
a ball player at heart. Markle was
never satisfied unless he had a ball
in his hand. 1t never occurred to MIN
he had a certain turn to pitch In
He was willing to work every other
day II I'd let him. And when We lost
there wasn't a bigger crab in the
league"
Now Markle goes to Pat Moran,
one of the best of all when 1t comes
to handling a pitcher and the kid
who fared up and died out like a
rocket five or six years ago is now
on his way again with one Of the
greatest curve balls that ever broke
over the corner of a plate.
The, Greatest Curve.
There has been a touch Of argu-
nent back and forth as to whether
Walter johnson or Amos Rusie had
the greatest speed.
But who carried the greatest curve
ball Of the lot?
Our vote goes to Rube Waddell.
The big southpaw had a dip we have
never seen equaled.
His curve was not only deep. but
one of those sudden varieties that left
a batter helpless and bewildered.
Back around 1906 or 1907, Connie
Mack decided the Rube was through.
He had been slipping swiftly. pay
ing very little attention to any train
ing rules and working only when he
felt inclined.
So waddell went to st. Louis.
Mack brought his Athletics along
with a string of famous hitters and
the Rube asked permission to face
his old club.
He struck out seventeen of them
that afternoon. using curve ball that
stood the entire club on its head.
Other Stars.
Waddell had fine speed, but his
curve ball did most of the business.
The old guard will tell you Toad
Ramsay surpassed the Rube, but
Toad fingered and dallied before our
day.
Mathewson probably had a greater
pitcher using his head in wonderful
fashion even when the speed had left
his arm.
Matty has always believed that
Hod Eller's shine ball broke In more
bewildering way than any curve he
has ever seen. but this was largely
the result Of doctofing the ball
Hod was only an average pitcher
when they took his trick away.
Fred Schupp. when with the Giants
and his arm in condition. had a curve
ball good enough to battle the keenest
eye of the game. Schupp, lacking
Waddelps build, was almost unhit-
table when his arm was right. His
average of allowed earned run for
season. made in 1916. Is the lowest
ever known.
His curve came up and broke wi tn
terrific speed for a tremendous, dis
tance, and the question of hitting il
was mainly a matter Of raw luck.
There is a big difference between
a sharp breaking curve ball and the
hop that Is often attached to a fast
one. Chief Bender had this latter
quality to remarkable degree. A
straight fast curve BAH. even when
thrown wlth-terrific speed. is no great
help unless tho jump is there at the
finish. Even Bender once went two
months without the slightest hop to
his fast one, although his speed re-
mained and his arm was in fine shape.
His slump came and left without any
reason that - sasaS ever discover.

KEYSER TOSSERS
BEAT ALOYSIANS
Collegians Win, 80 to 80, But
Are Forced to the Limit
All the Way.

The Keyser Collegians. of Keyser,
W. Va, struck some real opposition
last night in the Aloysius Club bas-
ketbsll outfit. winning out by the
narrow margin Of 9 points. SO to so.
The game, which was played before
a capacity crowd in the Gonzaga
issue was in doubt until the closing
moments of play.
The Aloysians led almost the en-
tire first half. which finished is to
IL, but the ''hill-billies" evened
ond half. They could not, however
stay ahead. and first one team and
then the other seesawed into the
lead most of the closing period.
The visitors scored first, via the
free toss route. only to have the
clubmen tie II Up shortly after, and
then shoot into the lead on a 2-point-
er by Duffy. The locals did not lose
this adyartage during the half. The
keyser men. with only five players
in uniform. seemed to play well with
In themselves and showed a beau
tiful knowledge of team play. Time
and again they made passes, short
and long. without looking, knowing
that a team mate would be where
the pass was going.
The locals got away to some
pretty short PASSWORD, especially in
the first half, and worked up close
to the basket only to find their
shots hurried by the Keyser de-
fense men, especially Montgomery.
At that, DUFFY sneaked in a couple
more hurry-up shots and Fitzgerald
and Folliard added one each during
the half. The first half total Of the
Collegians was accounted for BY
long shots by Gibsn and Shaffer.

FAINT HEART ALWAYS WINS
 FAIR LADY

CHICAGO, Oct. IA. - 'rhc old-time cavemhn idea cf perfect icvcr has been supplanted by the modern version of "Faint Heart Always Wins Fair LaGv," HOW iu feminine favor along with bubbed hair. short skirts and rolled hose.
 In the scenarios of 19,000 women sIDn tied in ! contest coudrct d by 3 large Chicago newspaper, the bash full hero outnumbered the bold and fearless one tight to one, according to James Shryock, director of the cNrretit;on.
 "This was revelation to the judges who were famous authors, ii- rectors. educators, dramatic critics and actors," he said. "They, with conventional literary opinions, be- lieved women in real life worshpDed the leonine, dashing, confident type Of hero, choosing him for her husband when his assurance and possessive manner had captured her heart.
 "But the stories showed unmistall- all that women, when given a chanc : to cypress their real likes and d.s- likes as they did in this contest. many of them writing under non de plumes, prefer the stammering, wistful, abashed lover rather than the cave man type"
 They were careful to draw the dis function between timidity and fear, Shryock said The great majority of heroes were retiring in manners and backward in approach but brave in morale and, when aroused, courageous in physical combat.
 This was attributed by some judges to the fact that women prefer being worshipped to being mastered. Others were of the opinion that this showed women want husbands who would be too bashful to flrt with other women Shy men don't desert their wives, they said Still others declared this signified woman's natural desire to mother and protect timorous men.

EPISCOPAL CHURCHES
 USE DIVINE HEALING

i CHICAGO, Oct. 14-Consideration at the Protestant Episcopal triennial general conference of divine healing and the question of giving it official sanction as a part of church work drew attention to the fact that several churches in the Chicago diocese al healing.
 Among such churches are the Church of the Redeemer, of which Rev. Dr. John Henry Hopkins is rector, and St. Chrysostom' of which Rev. Dr. Norman P. Hutton is rector. The Rev. H. P. Pullin, assistant rector of St. Chrysostom, declared that the purpose of the class at this church was not to supplant the physician, but to cooperate with the physician by strengthening faith and mind.
 Our method" he said, "is that of James dickson, the Anglican layman who conducted meetings of healing in Chicago few years ago. It involves private prayer of intercession, meet ings with prayer and the laying on of hands, and private conferences with the ill
 ''The people of the parish are much interested with the work. I know of no miracles that have resulted from it, but I am satisfied that those whc have come to these meetings for helE have been generally strengthened. Ii is our endeavor to take their minds off their troubles and to make them realize that there is something higher than their minds which directs them"
 "The question is not one of divine power, but of it's application" said Rt. Rev. s. M. Griswold of Evanston, suf- fragan bishop of the Chicago diocese. "The report to the conference of the commission of the church which ex- amined the matter was very thorough going"

AMERICAN GIRL BEATS DUTCH
 WITH COSTUME

VOLENDAM, Holland, Oct 12.-The people of this seaside village have two sources of income, fishing, and the tourists who come to see the medieval costumes of the villagers and com ment on their adherence to old time customs. The men catch the one, and the girls the other. For Volendam has it's belles, and the old world attire of their forbears becomes them we'll.
 But this year hundreds of American flappers haxe been among Volendam's visitors, and they have introduced chaos. The local girls have not been blind to the charms which the svelte American girls seem to hold for the young men of Volendam, and it is no uncommon sight to see Volendam misses walking behind groups of American girls, making vain attempts to initiate the slouching, Iackadaisical walk and blase air of assumed world wisdom.
 The debutante souch, the long pointed shoes with French heels, the short, scant skirts and chic hats have aroused the envy of the young Dutch women and created a panic in the village which may cease to be a great mart for souvenirs if it's female popu lation begins to copy world fashion sheets.
 The village elders are up in arms. Tirades have been launched against the follies and foibles of fashion. The lacemakers who fashion the quaint white caps for women, the manufac- turers who turn out the wooden shoes, and the shopkeepers who thrive on the nuaintness of Volendam, are conduct ting an anti-flapper campaign.
 Of course there are Dutch flappers, but the Dutch girls generally have too much weight to simulate fashion sheets successfully, and Dutch mo- distes lack the skill of American and French dressmakers. So the Ameri- can girls and their extreme attire have stirred little Dutch girls who were never thrilled by the efforts of the girls of Amsterdam, to copy the man. nikins of Longchamps.

IJNDERTAKER IS HEAD
 REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

RENO, Oct 14.-Boy, page MT. Charon, superintendent of the Styx ferry!!
 An undertaken is chairman of the Republican State Central Con- mittee of Nevada anl, between flu nerals, is actively engaged in prose- cutting the campaign for the G. O. P. ticket.
 His name is Silas E. Ross. He is a member of the City Council, but there his professional classification does not stand out so prominently, as there is a printer, an insurance man, a civil engineer and members of other pursuits working with him.
 But as chairman of the Grand Old Party's State Central Committee he is declared to be the only "mortician' the word which appears on his neat gold-and d-black sign-in the United States to be the active head of political campaign.
 The Democrats say that it is quite proper that an undertaken have charge of Republican affairs in Me- vada.
 The Republicans retort that "Si'' Ross will officiate at the funeral of the Nevada Democracy in November.
 Mr. Ross does not wear white gloves when presiding at meetings of the State Central Committee.
