Lefty Turns Teacher

Nov that Frank Lefty ODOul.
L the ahable outfielder. has be-
come manager Of his home town
team. the San Francisco Seals. he
has pulled up a chair to go in for
serving in the capacity Of school,
master. The former big Lacquer,
recently OF the New York Giants,
aims To impart to his pupils the
trick Of hitting big league pitching.
Saws Lefty. You gotta keep look
ing for the fast ball instead of the
swcrve. and bear down and keep
books on the pitchers delivery"
Lefty is a veteran of 10 years in
the majors and his opinion IS i'm
pOrtant. And he was a better than
fair blaster of the hOrsehlde. ODOul
remarked the other day: I got to
the point where I was pretty sure
what was coming, a speed ball or
curve. I formed the opinion that
a fast ball revOlves backward and
a curve VI nClEW Ddll AAAC OPSooAtC.
Frank called attention to the fact
that pitc' ers hold a conference be-
fore a new series begins and discuss
the strong and weak points of OPP
posing hitterS. In the very first
game. therefore" says Lefty, you
learn what you are going to get If
you are weak on certain deliveries.
I got so I could tell from the first
two OF three balls pitched to me
what 7 was due for Then 1 went
in for deep study of the mound art
and endeavOred to wait for that
fast ball that I knew I could hit.
OF course, I was fooled at times,
many times. But in the long run I
believe I got my share of base hits
and benfited by making constant
study OF opposing hurlers."

Small Bets Rule

NHARA estimates that between
~ $500. 900 900 and $500 900 900
was bet on horse races in the United
States in 1894. The last day of the
1884 season at Narragansett drew
IS 600 paid admissions. During that
same summer meeting $4,000 600
went through the mutuel machines.
The S4e.0OO.OOO bet at the track
was oriy a small portion Of the
money wagered on the same races
il the bookmaker "StOres" through
out the country. O'Hara is reported
70 have made the following COM
ment during a race horse tanning
bee in Florida recently:
I made a careful check and found
that 70 per cent Of all bets at Nara
ganSett went through the 50 win
dOWS. That means that the 50
players bet 100000 of the $40
100000 total. And I believe that
proportion was pretty well followed
throughout the country.
In the old days a Lucky Baldwin.
Riley GrannOn or a Pittsburgh Phil
Smith would bet 100000 or $500 900
on a single race. There are no Gran
mons or Pittsburgh PhilS or Lucky
Baldwins left today. But the total
volume OF betting on horses is
greater than ever in history

bread and butter and then drank

 New York, Aug. 19.--(UP)- Vigorous action by congress to pass must" legislation before ad- journment upset the stock market to-day. Prices had their most sew ere decline since late May and vol- ume was so heavy for time that the tape Jagged minutes behind the market.
 Signal for the saIling came when the house passed the. Guffey coal bill. Wall Street regards the bill as a throttle on profits on the coal industry.
 Introduction into the house of the amended Crosser bill to estab- fish a railroad pension bill to re- place one declared unconstitution- al by the supreme court brought heavy unloading into the railroad shares.
 Before the late selling steel shares had been bid up on the gains in operations at various cen- ters. U. s. Steel issues made new highs and Bethlehem approached its high. Aviation shares gave a of strength, and the coppers mounted on a favorable earnings report by Anaconda plus the rise in the price of the metal. Gains were held by some of these issues despite selling.
 Motor shares held well until late in the day. DuPont hit new high at114 IA on its dividend announce ment and then slipped back.
 Heaviest declines were sustained in the rails where Union Pacific broke nearly points. Losses of 1 to more than points were noted in American Telephone, American Can, Columbia Gas, General Elec- tric, New York Central, Westing- house Electric, Southern Pacific and Montgomery Ward.
 The bond market was enlivened by weakness in rails and 8 sharp break in Italian bonds. U. s. gov ernments were steady.
 Grains sagged off. Wheat closed
