= IA big league ball is a work of art,
1t is made by specialists and goes
through more steps than you'd
dream. of as you toss the ordinary
looking sphere toward home plate.
There really isn't very much actual
hard rubber in ball--in fact, they
start the ball off with about a one
ounce hard rubber center. Then
over this center is placed a four-ply
gray wool winding. Next comes a
white wool winding of three-ply-
After this the rubber cement coat is
rolled over the spheres
AS though that weren't enough to
do to 1t, there comes another gray
wool winding, followed by cotton
yarn covering and another coat of
the rubber cement.
Now the ball is ready for its COW

addition to whatever games they may
indulge in. Older persons will do well
TO Rt their exercises in with their
condition of health.
Coming to the diet, it is a good plan
to begin with the idea of changing
the type of bacteria in the intestines
In normal health there is a growth of
beneficial organisms, and these are
necessary to maintain good health
In changing the growth it is often
found desirable to use specially pre-
pared buttermilk or TO introduce an
extra supply of these beneficial or
ganisms through other prepared
foods
For a laxative diet choose from the
following list: Celery, lettuce, Gu
cumbers, beets, all green's, radishes
cabbage, carrots, cracked wheat, bran
preparations, shredded wheat, wheat
flakes. oatmeal, figs, fresh and dried
prunes, tomatoes, nuts, fresh berries,
malt sugar, malt honey matted milk.
While the tendency is pointing away
from old-fa shioned remedies, such as
castor oil, this still holds its place.
Many specialists recommend mineral
oil. If this is used great care must
be taken to see that II does not harm
the digestion. A warm enema is per-
haps the safest mechanical remedy.

1t is the last half of the ninth in
ming. The bases are full, with two
out and the home team at bat. The
crowd is wild, cheering as only base
ball fans can cheer when 1t looks as
if the game is theirs.
Zing. Like fash the pitcher turns
and shoots the ball to first. A run
ner is caught just a little too far
off the bag, and the game is over
and lost.
Too bad, of course-but how was
il done? How did the pitcher know
just the right instant to throw the
ball?
The answer is signs. 1t was the
catcher who gave the signal that
caught the runner. A slight move
ment of the arm, a touch of the cap
and the pitcher shot the ball to first.
Base ball players are firm believers
in signs. They use them many times
in every game to indicate plays that
are to be made.
Especially is this true between
catcher and pitcher, for between these
two most plays are started. and the
use of signs or signals enables them
TO direct the movements of the op-
posing batter.
There are hundreds of signs and
combinations of these signs in use.
Every club has it's own particular set
of signals. However, there are some
which are more general than others
and which are not too difficult for
your team to use to advantage.
For instance, a pitcher sometimes
signals the kind of ball he will throw
by the hand in which he catches the
ball. or the hand in which it rests
when he steps into the box. If the
ball is in his left hand he will throw
n curve; if in his right, he will throw
a fast ball.
Again, color combinations are some
times used. If the pitcher touches
black before white (say the black let
ters on his shirt or his black belt and
then his white uniform), it means a
curve, while the opposite means a
fast ball.
Pitching signs are most generally
given by the catcher, however, and
this is the method that I always pre-
ferred. The pitcher usually gives
signs only in case he feeas that the
opposing club is stealing his catcher S
signs.
When the catcher is doing the sig
mailing he almost always uses finger
signs, indicating the ball to be thrown
by the number of fingers shown.

dampened before it is placed on the

Then when it dries it pulls up snug
7lyi and tightly over the ball.
+ When the ball has been carefully
covered it is rolled between two
soapstones to make. it perfectly
smooth. 1t is then carefully looked
over by an inspector before it is put
in box for shipment.
And next thing you know it's
hopping out of the pitchers fingers,
with the eyes of the whole grand
stand following it. 1t must be great

His wife was prominen! in social
and club circles of FL Centro be-
fore their removal.
In company with Sterling, he
was in this city yesterday after
noon, and amongst others, talked
for short time with DR.. r. L..
Palmer, who had known him for
several years. His friends here
were shocked to learn of his tragic
death only a short time after they
had seen him here.
Singh Well Educated
Singh is 3j years old, and has
been in this country u years, near
ly nine of which have been spent
in Imperial Valley. He is fairly
well educated, speaking excellent
English, and of higher type than
the average valley Hindu. Previous
to the passage of the alien land law,
he leased considerable property in
the valley and was favorably known
among the white lettuce and canta-
loupe men.
He told friends that he was hav-
ing trouble with Sterling and Hag-
er over the lettuce crop, and is re-
ported to have visited local lawyers
last week in an effort to get civil ac
ton against them. As lie is not
supposed to have had any share in
crops under the alien land law, it
was impossible for him to get civil
redress, and it is presumed he brood
ed over his difficulties, real or i'm
aginary, until he reached the break
ing point yesterday. Edgar B. Her
vey of this city has been retained
by Singh as his attorney in the
case.
An inquest on the double killing
was to be held this afternoon by
Coroner Lemons, at his funeral par
lors in this city.
District Attorney Utley stated
this morning that it is his intention
to bring the case to the attention
of the grand jury this afternoon,
and ask for an Indictment charging
S.mgh with murder
Espanio Gotta, Frank Torres, 1.
Varga and Andres Padillo, Mexi-
cans who were working on the Brad
ford ranch as lettuce packers, were
brought to this city this noon time
from Calipatria, to appear before
the grand jury to testify regarding
the murders. The four are said to
have been eye witnesses Of the af-
fair.
Deputy Sheriff Stirling Oswalt
was ON his way from Caipatria at
2 O'Clock with four more Mexican
witnesses, but was delayed due to
