more than half dozen curve pals
tt has been case of fast ball after
fast ball, with an occasional change
of pace mixed in to throw the paVs-
man off his stance.
During 20 years in the majors,
have seen only three pitchers able
to use their fast ball so much and
get away with it, namely Walter
johnson, Eddie Cicotte and AL
Thomas.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-10

-ArTER. JOHNSON had the
W/ greatest speed ever developed
w by pitcher when he broke
into the majors. Literally, he threw
the ball past the batters. Cicotte,
through trickery in doctoring the
ball, got a hop on his fast ball that
made it almost unaittable. l have
worked games in which Clcotte
used nothing but fast balls from be-
ginning to end.
Now that AL Thomas has Joined
this fast ball trio, it would seem he
had something out of the ordinary
in the way of speed to get by with
it as he does.
"Take a look at the ball
When Thomas is pitching, the
umpire gets that request score of
times during a ball game, when
some batsman takes healthy cut at
a fast one and misses it by wide
margin.
There is no getting away from
the fact that Thomas can sail his
ball. Often it works inside or OUT
side and at other times has per-
ceptibIe hop on it. So it is only
natural. when batters who have a
pe1chant for hitting speed, swing
in vain. that they request an in
vestigation, to determine. as Nick
Altrock would put it, "if the ball is
inferior"

the aisles and into few of the many
chambers whose mysterious darkness
tried to lure us from the protection OF
our guide. Blinking in the glaring
sunshine again we walked on through
the sands to the tombs Of Ptahhotep
and I'll. There, growing in the SAND
whose apparent aridity seemed in
capable of supporting life was small
dubious green plant which when
crushed seemed to be filled with
water. This marvellous little plant by
absorbing the morning dampness
through its large pores enables ami
mails to live on the desert.
We enjoyed a night drive to Mena
and the walk out to the pyramids and
the Sphinx, whose spell was not brok-
en- by the clamoring Bedouins who
poster the traveller by day. In the
velvety softness of the star-jewelled
night there was a stiffness that could
be felt, a peace in which one was awed
by the greatness of the monuments
and the vastness Of time and the little
ness of man. AS we walked we looked
back at the Great Pyramid and we
held our breath, for one very bright
star seemed to be resting on the very
point of the great dark wonder that
was the pyramid.
Adventures without end are waiting
for the traveller in this land OF Osiris.
One morning very early We climbed
the Pyramid of Cheops.
Not satisfied with conquering the
outside of the pyramid, we penetrated
to the very center through the narrow
inside passages. 1t was a relief to
regain the open air and to escape the
oppressive feeling of having that great
mass of stone over one.

Koran.
Every day seemed more glorious
than the last and lest we cloud our
pleasure we did not even think OF the
time when we would have to return to
Alexandria and sail away from this
enchanting land. We drove to the site
of the great ancient city of Memphis,
now a mound of dirt and disintegrat-
ing brick partly overgrown with palms
and partly covered by a mean native
village. Symbolic of the passing of
the greatness of the old civilization,
are two huge statues of Rameses
whose stone lips remain smiling in
spite of the fact that the statues have
long been broken and lying on the
ground. Beyond the village we passed
through rich, welEkept fields and came
to the sharply drawn line where the
power of the mighty Nile ceases and
the fertile plain gives way to the sands
of the desert.
Not far from the edge is the en-
trance to the Serapeum, the extent
and vastness of whose underground
chambers and tunnels is astonishing.
With lighted tapers we wandered
about in the passages marveling at
the huge limestone sarcophagi hewn
for the sacred bulls of Apis. Our feeble
lights flickered and sputtered along

Cruising the Mediterranean

In Old Cairo the houses looked
thousand years old, and ragged Be-
douins stole along silently or babbled
noisiiy in the market places. Beyond
wooden and iron gate on dirty mar
row street, we found the Coptic
Church of Abu Sergius. This dust

floor and thread-bare carpets once Of

and the Virgin Mary in their flight
from the wrath of Herod.
Leaving our carriages in the filthy
streets of Old Cairo, we were poled
across branch of the Nile on raft.

ing where a primitive native school
was in session, past Nileometer, an
instrument by which the height Of the
river is measured, on through ne
elected garden, brought us to the
banks of another branch of the Nile, to
the spot where Pharaoh's daughter
was supposed to have found the infant
Moses. The story of the finding of
Moses and of his life seems to be
favorite with the Arab guides, who tell

OINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS
BERLIN.
Martin Luthers Famous Castle Badly in Need of Repairing.

Berlin. Jan. 2s-The Wartburg where Mar tin Luther in 152l hurled his inkwell at the devil who came to taunt him while translatine the Bible, is in danger of disintegrating. An organization called the Friends of Wartburg with the assistance of the federal government has been renovating portions of the 900 year old fortress and castle which overlooks the city of Eisenach from the height of 1,2o0 feet. Much remains to be done
 The building, in dingy second floor room of which Luther was given refuge and quiet to translate the Bible, is in especially pre- carious situation. An attempt to save the famous frescoes in a half-exposed arcade, de- pcting the life of the Holy Elizabeth, is being made by installing an electric heating appara- tus to prevent rapid changes of temperature.
 The Wartburg is rich in tradition and his- tory. In the great music hall of the Land graves palace the famous minstrels contest (Saengerkreg) is said to have taken place in 1907, the tone poem and the event being im- mortalzed partially in Wagners opera Tam hauser" and in E. T. A. Hoffmann's tale '"The Battle of the Minstrels."

ONCE DABBLED IN ART

How President von Hndenburg once dab- bled in the art of painting is told by Professor Hugo Vogel, of Berlin, who was commissioned throughout the war to paint at army head quarters. in his recent book, When I Painted Hndenburg."
 Vogel describes how in January 1918 the field marshal came to his studio to examine a number of battle scenes and war canvases As he stood before a scene of Marienburg Vogel relates, "he seized my palette and began to make additions with the brush. First his spurs. Then he changed the persons depleted fleeing from the far shore of the Nogat river. They are running too fast the field marshal observed"
 During this visit Hindenburg also criticized the color which Professor Vogel chose for the trousers of the chiefs uniform in portrayng the battle of Tannenberg He cried out" Vogel said, Why, you painted my trousers grey. You must remember that had to leave Hanover for the front so fast that didn't have time to grab my field uniform. Thus it happened that l directed the battle of Tan nenberg wearing the black trousers of my peace time uniform. It won't do for you to paint them grey. That would be an historical untruth.'

 Schoeing before his trial on charge of fraud in the administration of estates hired at one dollar a head sufficient number of un- employed to wait in line and fill the courtroom in the hope of excluding all others.
