HemsleY Cures Feller's Witness
With Simple Pitching Suggestion
Strikeout King
Failed To Keep
Eye On Target
BY HARRY GRAYSON


CT. LOUIS-Rolly Hemsley, here
~ for the All-Star game, reveals
how he first curbed and then cured
Bob Feller's wildness with the
simplest of pitching suggestions.
When the now famous battery
mates-the kid and the veteran
first were brought together on a
transforming tour in the fall of
1887, Hemsley Immediately noticed
that Teller looked at the ground
before pitching.
Keep your eye on the target,
Bob. Never take 1t off" Hemsley
told the youngster. with your
stuff all you have to do is get the
ball over the plate. just try to hit
my glove"
The two have practically been
playing catch ever since.
1t was the pitching knowledge
the then 19-year-old Teller alb
sorbed on that transforming trip
that led him to tell Cyril c. Slap
nicka that Hemsley was the best
catcher to whom he had ever
pitched. and to suggest the Cleve-
land club make a deal for the

In three geological periods condi-
tions appear to have been especially
favorable for the development of
extensive swampy accumulations of
plant material that subsequently
formed coal
The oldest of these is called the
Carboniferous about 100000. 900
years ago. In America it is known as
the Pennsylvania. in reference to the
great development of rocks of that
age in the coal measures of Pennsyl-
vania. The vegetation was quite
different from that in present-day
swamps. The most abundant plant
had leaves that closely resemble those
of ferns. These swamps were so wide
spread that it is estimated that seven
tenths of the coal deposits Of the world
were laid down at that time And,
being the oldest of the major coal
forming periods, its deposits are the
most thoroughly compressed. Thus.
a great part of the worlds anthracite
was formed then.
In the second conforming period,
the Cretaceous, rs to 100 million
years ago, the region now known as

deposits were in existence during the
early part of the Age of Mammals.
thirty to sixty million years ago. The
plants that lived then were almost
exact counterparts of those now FORM
ing peat in my pond. The brown coal
or Ignite that burns with sooty flame
and a-strong odor is of this age. having
been subjected to still less compress
sion than the bituminous coal of the
Cretaceous period, and is most e.
tensively mined in north Germany,
where beds rs to $50 feet thick are
known.
Under certain special conditions,
when all the plant material decom-
poses except the most resistant resins
and plant wakes, special type of coal
may be formed known as camel coal.
Algae are often important constitu-
ents of this coal, suggesting that at
times it may have been formed in
deeper water than the swamp water
that formed more normal types of coal
deposits. This freak coal is mined
in England, as well as in Kentucky
and Ohio.

enough it's about coal - because in

bushes and grass had fallen into the
pond for untold years and had become
waterlogged and sunk. They formed
thick mat of partially decayed organic
material dug down as far as could
and found that the deeper | went the
more compressed the vegetable re-
mains had become. This was the be-
ginning of peat - the first stage OF
coal formation.

York City, Juniper Swamp is esti-
mated to have 10000 900 cubic feet
of peat The Everglades of Florida.
and the Dismal Swamp of Virginia
contain peat also. and are really great
coal deposits in the making. After the
peat has been buried for long time
under subsequent deposits of sand
and shale, it becomes compressed,
and most of the noncarbonic mate
rials are lost, so that the carbon ratio
is increased As a result we get 'brown'
coal or Ignite; then, with more COM
preston, bitumlnous or soft coal;
and then anthracite. Sometimes an
thracite may become graphite and.
very rarely, bits Of the graphite
may be changed to diamonds. There
you have the cycle.
