Who made the spit ball won

Americans, in 1908. But it is
claimed by some base ball writers
well up in the history of the game
that some quarter Of century
before. Bobbie Matthews, who
was the curve pitcher to follow
Cummings, really invented it.
Who improved the slow ball?
Radbournc, Providence star.
And do we not all hail Chris
Mathewson's fade-aWay and Nor
decai Browns hook curve, due to
his having only three whole
fingers on his pitching hand?
There's way to hold the ball,
there's subtle use of the fingers,
hidden jerks of the thumb, beau
tiful twists of the wrist, and you
become famous pitcher. Some
Of these different behaviors Of
the ball were noted in early his

set the pitchers thinking; then
they passed out of favor, and
were rediscovcrcd, and so it will

SKI VANISHES AFTER
THRILLING BROADWAY

NEW YORK, December 5.-Battling
Sikh, the singular Senegalese, who
achieved pugilistic fame by knocking
out Georges Carpenter, provided
broadway with a thrill yesterday
with the aid of a quantity of syn
thetic gin. a wrinkled dress suit and
a pair Of expensive patent leather
shoes.
He obviously had made a night of
1t. and part of the day, when he ap-
peared on Broadway, at 44th street.
He craved attention. So he emitted
one of his native war cries. He got
attention. The crowd that blocked
traffic formed a ring and the singu-
lar one executed as nifty a war
dance as ever was trod upon the hot
sands of his native Senegal
He moved up block, to 45th
street, taking his audience and his
enthusiasm with him. He repeated
his performance at each crosstown
street until he reached 4Sth, when
he was told the police were on his
trail He disappeared into a taxi
cab bound for the black belt in Har-
lem.
1t was Skis first escape from his
manager in a week. His last adven-
ture occurred when he fed his train
ing camp with $1,000, which rolled
away In a flood of alcohol.
His manager still is looking for

A base ball is a base ball. but
it's skittish little thing, as un-
certain as race horse, depend
cnt on who takes it in hand.
There are more personalities i'll
a ball than are dreamed of by
the average fan, and the batsman
has to get acquainted with them
and not notice their temperament
SO as not to get ratified. There
is the slow bali and the fade
away and the knuckle ball and
the hook ball, and the spit ball
and the palm ball, and the high
f1oater and the fast fader, and
the thumb jumper and the ball
that changes its pace with
seeming intelligence that fools
the man at the plate. And every
one Of these is a sort OF discov-
cry. The man behind the ball in
every instance has gone down in
base bail history as a particular
hero.
Whose name is identified in
mind with the spin or slow ball?
That of Alphonsc Martin, who
had fought in the Civil war and
sprang it on New York teams in
1868. We have already answered
the question: Who pitched the
first curve? Arthur Cummings.

the referee off the mat
Almost at the same time, Turner's
supporters claimed, he pinned Meyers

see fall. Wben. at the eighteenth
minute Of the bout. Meyers fiattened
Turner with wrist lock, however,
Mainfort was in position to see what

Mark Grid Season Tennis Controversy Brewing for Long Time
ROW STRESSES NEED
OF new net POLICY
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK. December 5.--"The
tempest in a teapot" stirred up In
tennis ranks through an article by
William Tilden and comment on 1t
by member of the committee, brings
up a point that has been stressed by
this writer for more than a year-that
no efforts are being made by the COM
mittee to develop doubles play through
out the country.
The throwing together of two men
at the last minute may jeopardize our
any time. but that is relatively un-
important compared with the fact
that no effort Is being made to induce
good mon to develop as essentially
doubles players.
A man coming toward the top in
tennis knows that as a singles play
er he may reach the height of being
selected as a member of the Davis
cup team.
More than that, from what the com
mittee has done in recent years, he
has no temptation to indulge in dou-
bles because the committee is not Sc
lecting doubles teams, but is picking
good singles players and throwing
them together as q doubles pair.
Even X we should lose for a time,
our development of doubles players
and consequently the spread of tennis
and the getting of more people on
the same number of courts. is a
worthwhile job. When respect is
shown by the committee for doubles
teams there will be a largely in
creased interest in that form of play
