EBaHsA.Isa~Riddle.
Of: 1888 Season
BysGEORGE "A. = BARCLAY

BY GEORGE a.. BARCLAY
IND the National league put
~ itself out on a limb when
it adopted the deader ball for
the 1888 & season while the
American league voted to con-
tinue the lively one?
5 That question will come in for
plenty of attention from now until
the end of the world series next Oc-
tober. 1t has already had a good
deal of newspaper space. But no
one is really certain there is rad
ical difference between the dead and
so-called lively ball.
Government scientists have taken
samples of each, shot them out of
catapult-like machines and record
ed their findings. Sluggers from
both major leagues have tried their
bats on both dead and lively balls.
The results are still a question
mark.
The real answer should be writ
ten in the world series. If the Ma
tional league wins the event and re-
verses the trend that has given it
only three worlds championships in
4 the, past ten years, credit will be
given to President Ford Frick for
his owl-like wisdom. If the Amer
lean league wins, there can't be
much said in the way of alibis and
most people will then concede that it
is the league and not the ball that is
responsible. a''4 y 2 "'
Some critics have insisted that in
voting for a change last December,
the National league clubs had come
to the conclusion that the ball the
Yankees were pounding was too
dangerous to continue in use. In
fairness to Mr.. Frick it should be
assumed that the National league
was trying to improve the game.
If you are a devotee of strategic
baseball, there isn't much argu-
ment about the ball being too live
J ly. Strategic baseball--the sacrifice,
base stealing, moving the. infeld in

squeeze play, etc.-hasn't been

Olympic Problems

II INCLE SANS monopoly of lead
- ership in the track and field
events of the Olympic games seems
definitely menaced so far as the
1910 Olympiad is concerned BY
booking the games in far-off Japan
and on dates when our best ath-
letes will be unable to compete, the
rest of the world has found way
to beat us.
Not since the games were revived
many years ago has the United
States been defeated in track and
field sections. But by scheduling
such events in October, when col
lege athletes obviously should be
attending classes, the Olympic man.
aging committee is in effect offer
ing the track and field champion
ships to some other country.
q. The United States has two alter
natives-frst, not to send a team
to the 1910 Olympics; second to in
duce the universities of this country
to release star athletes long enough
for them to compete in Japan and
let them make up their lost studies
later. Since Britain and several 9TH
er countries have stated they will
not send teams to Japan, the first
alternative would be relatively
easy. Fulfillrnent of the second
would be tougher. Academic sched-
ules are sacred COWS in American
universities. They could not easily
be disturbed in order to head Ger

His Escape Almost a Miracle.
Use of the Silver Skewer

In the early part of the Seven
teenth century silver skewer was
used by the cutting squire to hold
meat in place while it was cut into
slices. Having cut off slice it was
placed on a slice of bread and then
served to guest. This manner of
serving is practiced in many of the
older countries of Europe. In time
the skewer used for holding the
meat gave place to fork, which
was a great improvement. One,
two, three and four-pronged forks
came into use in the latter part
of the Seventeenth century. By this
time each guest was supplied with
a fork and helped himself instead
of being served by the cutting
squire. a,t

Harriidge Doubts

Mr.. Will Harridge, president of
4 the American league, has some hon
est doubts about what happens
when you begin tinkering with base
balls. =
"When you change the ball it's
hard to tell what results you'll get"
he says. "For instance, we had
three experts appear at a meeting
of the board of directors of the
league to explain how they might
deaden the ball a trif1e. One said
the only way to do it was to cut
down the size Of the cork center. The
second said it would have to be done
with the wool, the yarn winding.
The third said the only way to get
any change was to use a different
cover.
eff the experts who make the
ball differ like that, how could we
know what the results of changing
the ball would be? It's an expert
ment and there won't be an answer
until full seasons trial has been
made" ...g
The consensus of opinion among
baseball men is that if there is any
vast amount of difference between
the dead and lively ball, the former
won't bother the players who have
the eyes and the power to knock
one over the wall.
If the dead ball assists the pitch
ers in improving their perform
ances, the only fellows who will
g really be hurt are those who really
aren't first class batsmen. The bar
gain home run is something that
should not belong in major lea que
baseball. q77 ttuaa 30ibs4s r.
The difficulty in distinguishing the
difference between the dead and
lively ball was illustrated by what
happened at the Chicago Cubs train
ing camp this spring. In the early
days of the camp, leftover balls of
the 1887 vintage were used first.
Then the 1888 models were brought
out. Somehow the two vintages be-
came mixed. All the oldtime play
ers, coaches and newspaper men
went into huddle. But they
couldn't tell one ball from the other
either by sight or touch.

Chippendale's Career Traced

Although Thomas Chippendale
was an English cabinet-maker who
had never visited the Orient, Chi
nese art had a great influence on
his creations. So says the Standard
American Encyclopedia. 1t was dur
ing the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries that Chinoiserie, fanciful
decorative work showing the influ-
ence of Chinese art, was brought 10
Europe. In the middle of the
Eighteenth century chinoiserie be-
came noticeable in every decora-
tive craft. Prior to that time the
furniture had been heavy and Sc
we're, but under Chippendale's use
of Chinese art, the style became
rather delicate with classical
tendencies.
