terms-a fast ball and a curve.
All balls that are twisted out of
their natural course are called curves.
The outcurve. the drop, down shoot,
and so on, are simply a curve ball to
the professional player. To us there
is no such thing as an incurve. That
is what we call a fast ball. OF course.

right handed. A so-called incurve Is
nothing more than a ball thrown In
a natural way with great force. A
ball thus thrown will naturally curve

So when you hear ball players

will understand that curve means
anything that takes an unnatural

great speed is a fast one.

RICHARD HAslNS|DE:
TRACK WITH OPTION
Beckett Is Eliminated as an
4! 0pponent-Interest High
E., in Coming of Firpo.

NEW YORK, January 20
M Negotiations will be contin-
cd today between Jack
Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey,
and several boxing promoters who
arc anxious to stage several cham
pionship bouts with the titleholder
and some of his challengers next
summer.
Despite the six-day option kearns
sold yesterday to Tex Rckard, one
OF the promoters, binding the cham
pion from accepting for a work
week any offer that may be made
by other bidders for fhe champions
service, it is expected that con
ycrsations" will ensue today.
Kearns probably will confer with
Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston
Red Sox, and Tom ORourke, match
maker for the club, which has a Ii
cense to stage bouts at the Polo
Grounds. and perhaps he will see
E;ckard again today. At any rate
definite agreement will be made with
no one except the Texan.
While negotiations are continuing
Luis Angel Firpo. the Argentine
giant, will be preparing to embark
for the United States. He Will sail
on the Southern Cross from Buenos
Aires on February I and Will arrive
here about February 10.
Different Welcome Awaiting.
The welcome with which he is
greeted will be far different from
here, about a year ago. Then un-
known. in a land speaking a strange
language. with no one familiar In
sporting affairs to guide him. he made
an appearance, created sensation
and fought several bouts with sec
Ond and third raters before return
ing home.
Reports from South America are
that Firpo is much improved In ring
ability and capable of taking care OF
himself when he meets Bill Brennan,
the perennial stalking horse. at Mad
isca Square Garden March II. When
here Firpo demonstrated terrific hit
ting ability, but his crudity was
amazing. and he stood little cnance
against a clever man.
Joe Beckett, English heavyweight,
has been eliminated as possible op-
ponent for Dempsey, SO far as Kick
ard is concerned. He said he had
cabled Beckett several offers recently
10 fight either Gibbons, Harry Greb
or Gene Tunney, leading light-heaVy-
weights, in this country, but had re-
celved no reply.

latter is not allowed except by pitch
ers who were already using it at the
time the rule was passed to abolish
it. Every team has to register its
,spitball pitchers and notify the
league heads in advance of the sea-
son. Unless a man is so registered
as splitter" he is not permitted to
pitch that ball. In time all of them
will disappear. Youngsters are not
allowed to use that freak of the
pitching art and the spitball itself
will soon become obsolete.
Personally. ] never liked the spit
ball because I think it affects the arm
of the man who uses it. Just the
same, have had some spitball pitch :
ers Bugs Raymond was one of the
best in the world. Mathewson could
pitch the splitter, but rarely ever used
it in a game. He never considered II
part of his equipment.
Thirty years ago we had some mas
terfu1 pitchers. In the next chapter
| want to discuss some of them IN
connection with the Temple cup
series.

Chicago has always said "Hoyt' when
the subject Of trade came up with New

pitches when the young man is not

as opening the throttle and putting on
steam is concerned, but he also can
exert a certain amount of wilful per-
sonality which is not always best for
his pitching.

SUGAR PRICES HIGHER,
Raw, Spot and Futures Markets
Are All Stronger.

NEW YORK. June 21.-There was a
little better demand in the raw sugar
market early today. prompted by the
continued good inquiry for refined
sugar and prices were u cent higher,
with Cubans quoted at " cents cost
and freight, equal to 1928 for centri-
fugals, with duty-fres sugars on the
same basis. There were sales of
10000 bags of Cubas and $4,000 bags
Of Philippine Islands to local refiners
The higher ruling of the spot market
and the increased activity in refined
sugar led to renewed buying in raw
sugar futures. with prices at midday
13 to 81 points higher.
The market for refined sugar was
firmer and list prices were advanced
25 points by one Of the local. refiners
to $50 for fipe granulateds
