SPOTTED WHEN HIS
HEADCEAR BLOWS OFF
Range Livestock Industry Never Would Have Grown
Up Here IF 1t Had Not Been for the Heavy
Winds, w. S. Kimbal Points Out in Defense.
By W. s. KINIBALL.

When the editor OF the Tribune
asked me for an article for the indus
trial edition and 1 inquired II he
wanted an Industrial article, he re-
piled that he preferred that other
stuff" So do I. However. my
loyalty to Wyoming impels me to
come to the defense of the wind. and
I do 1t from an industrial standpoint.
Tho Wind Builds q Railroad.
A majority Of those who have come
to Casper during the past six or
eight years apparently do not appre-
ciate tho Importance to Casper OF the
range livestock industry. Time was
when It was Casper's sole and only
support and responsible for making
Casper oven in those days the best
business center and llveliest town in
central wyoming, and until the town
had reached a population of possibly
three thousand people. The live
stock industry is now, as It was then,
responsible for the support of three
thousand souls; or one-eighth to one
seventh OF our total population.
It is essential to the welfare of the
range livestock industry and to Cas-

tho reliability OF the range livestock
business.
When I hear some of these PEG

following a heavy fall Of snow,

who ne the splitter more as threat,
may last bit longer.
Coveleskie, Bill Doak and Grimes
use the spitbal almost exclusively.
On the other hand, Shocker and
Faher use II more as threat.
Shocker Is a wonder at mixing them
up, while Faber has fine side-arm
fast ball and mighty good curve.
He resorts to the splitter In pinch

IT Is questionable If any delivery
originated by the pitchers has caused
so much agitation as the spitball.
arguments for and against it have
constantly been offered since its in
PRODUCTION.
Being a freak delivery it caused
the brainy pitchers to delve deeper
for trick stuff. AS matter Of fact,
the splitter is indirectly responsible
for every bit of trick pitching that
has crept into the game.
There is no denying the effective
ness of the sptball when properly
controlled. the most difficult feature
of the delivery.
It's complete passing. however,
will meet with the approval Of every
major league batsman.

with the splitter. They are Faber of

That the spitball is still an effec-

that three of the first eight pitchers

the only pitchers who use the moist

Thus in reality, there are only

pected when they stack up against
the High school nine Of Connecticut's

playing high brand of ball this sea-
son and have outscored and outhit
their opponents two to one. They
have also shown speed in baserunning
and will keep the Torrington back

probable that KAMA will toe the rub

Miller will again don the mask and

Eric Anderson short. The outfield will
be picked from Conlon, Herold. Mel

The day Of the spitball pitcher is
fast passing.
II won't be very long before that
species of pitching will have entirely
passed out Of the major leagues.
How many years before the spit
ball becomes merely a memory?
Well that is purely matter Of
opinion, and opinion differs widely on
all things pertaining to baseball.
/ think is is fairly conservative to
say that within six years the spitball
delivery will have become very much
passe.
Just at present there are only
about nine pitchers of any promi-
hence who have the right to con-
tinue the use of the splitter.
When the sptbal delivery was
eliminated from the game, certain
dispensation was given pitchers who
depended on its use. These pitchers
were made immune from the ruling,
and were given permission to con-
tinue the use of the delivery while
they remained in the majors. That
was only fair,
Few Spitballers Remain.

ANNOUNCING
View Addition

About May LIST we propose to submit for your approval
the most beautiful, scenic, protected and restricted
high class residential district that can ever be offered
Greater RaWlins.
This property comprises between sixty and eighty acres
Immediately adjoining Park Hill Addition on the north
and west.
The Rawlins Townsite Company, owner, has employed
DeBoer & Pessman, landscape architects of Denver
Colorado, to lay out and plat this property in order to
take advantage of the contour of the ground. Engineers
and construction crews are now at work under their
direction.
Mr.. DeBoer was landscape architect for the City of
Denver under the late Mayor Speer and many of the
beautiful boulevards and parks of that city were de-
signed by him. No better talent could have been en-
ployed to lay out your future domestic.
Mountain View Addition will be protected in a large
measure by the hills on the west and north. From there
an unsurpassed view of Rawlins and Elk Mountain in
the distance is obtained on account of the elevation.
Beautiful homes in American cities are and have always been built o
high, signify ground overlooking the surrounding territory. 1t is a law
of human nature. The automobile brings this beautiful addition within
five minutes ride of the business district; or you an walk it in from
fifteen to twenty minutes. Mountain View will be to Rawhns what
Capitol Hill was to Denver; 1t means something to have your home in
a neighborhood of pretty dwellings, where your investment is forever
protected by rigid building restrictions.
