How to pitch a curve ball Is a knack
almost every lad would like to pick up.
They can plctuie themselves fn lining
out dozens of batsmen In every game.
The art of ventriloquism Is a boy's
dream, but It Is not so lasting a deslie
as that of Imparting a curve to a base
tall.
Since Arthur Chapman discovered the
out curve it has. been Improved upon
ry professionals until they have the In
ward and outwaul, drop and raise
curve balls, all of which can lie thrown
by throwing the ball the tarn" way, but
by using a diffeient snap of the wrist.
There are several ns of throwing
the outward curve. The easiest Is by
holding the ball between the first two
Angers and the thumb, and, as the
ball leaves the hand, it should be de
livered by si.npplng the wilst towards
the left w'th the back of the hand to
the ground. The in curve Is thrown
Just tha leverse way, that Is, by hold
ing the front part of the hand towards
the ground. The snap must be given
with the wilst as the ball leaves the
hand.
DOWN AND VP SHOOTS.
The drop curve Is accomplished by
snapping the wrist when It Is over
your head towards the ground, and the
ball, when leaving the hand, slides over
the first linger near the tips.
The upshoot Is thrown underhand,
holding the bal as in the other cases.
When it leaves the hand the snao of
the wrist should bo given and the
thumb should be higher than the fing
ers. The latter should be on the side
of the ball nearest the ground.
The curves are all held In the same
way to deceive the batter, p.s the
straight last ball Is thrown the same
way, as well as the s-low ball. By this
means a batsman cannot tell whether
the pitcher is going to sene up a fast,
Blow or curve ball. The drop and out
ward iiirves can be thrown holding
the ball with the last three fingers and
tht thumb. This grasp will give a
slow curve and the fast and s'low balW
should be held tli same way to dis
guise the pitch. This wa.9 Tim Keefe's
method of tin owing the ball.
Another way Is by holding the ball
with the tivo fingers and without the
thumb, and when th? ball leaves the
hand It goes o'er the thumb and a.
sharper cuive Is the result. Hut It Is
very difficult to control the ball. Rusle
uses this curve, and all the batsmen
of the National league agree that he
has the fastest curve ever used by any
pitcher.
FIRST CURVED HALLS.
Jinny college professors once could
not believe that such a thing as a
controlled curve ball existed. Their
ccntentiJii was that It was an optical
delusion and contrary to the law 'f
Id ysles. However, It wuS practically
demnnstiated at Harvard. Two posts
v.eie placed on the cmpin, EO feet
op-iit Tlioy were nn a direct line. He
twn the?e po.,ts were placed two other
posts, one two feet to the right and
the other two feet to the left of the
strs'k-ht line. Tho 1 Itchcr stood behind
ore of the stralEht line posts, and
the catcher wus behind the one at
the othor end. The ball curved around
the posts, and was caught by the catch
er without moving fiom hu position.
This proved conclusively that the curve
was a fa-jt.

Tho non-arrival of Pitcher Proctor,
who was on th3 Scranton list two
months ago, Is p source of misunder
standing. It has already been stated
In this column that Proctor will not be
given a trial. It was ascertained that
he was too much of on experiment and
Manager Griffin very properly decid
ed Ic give Proctor a chance to shine
in " p locality othT than Scranton.
Dutch Herger was told of a story go
Ing tho rounds thnt the Scranton club
was trying to trado him to the Spring
field club for a pitcher. "It's news to
me," said he. "I don't care where they
send me. What's the use of kicking
when a club wants to swap you. Bet

CUBAN GIANTS TODAY.
Rain Yesterday Only Made the Fans
More Anxious for This After
noon's Contest.
Yesterday's rain prevented the game
that was to have been played with the
Cuban Olants, but the disappointment
probably whetted the appetites of the
fans for this afternoon's game between
the two clubs. The contest will begin
at 3 o'clock. Seranton's players will
bo: Hoyd and O'Neill, catclurs; Morse,
Wellner and Yerkes, pltcheis; Massey,
first base; Ronncr, second base;
O'Hrlen, third base; Heard, shortstop;
Eagan, left Held; Walters, center tlela,
and Daly, right field, Ladles will be
admitted free to the grounds and
grand stand, ns they will be to all the
exhibition games. Meaney, Glllon and
Fallon will pitch tomorrow against the
Olyphant Browns.
The rain, while It gave the men a
welcome rest from the stiffening prac
tice work of the preliminary season,
did not relieve them from a busy after
noon. Manager Griffin had all hands
out at the park, where In the warmth
of the dressing room several hours
were occupied In oiling bats and gloves
and In "fanning." Tho latter consists
of telling a good base ball He or a true
story of the diamond, the trick depend
ing on the morals or conscience of the
teller. "Iete" Eaganvtold only one
yarn and he was awarded the bun.
"Kid" Brown, this city's colored mid
dleweight boxer, and an ex-Cuban
Giant, will pitch for the dusky boys to
day. On May 28 he will be a perma
nent fixture on tho team. He Is a
twlrler of more than ordinary ability.
On Monday the Scranton club goes
to Philadelphia to play the Athletics,
stopping at Reading on the return
home for games Tuesday and Wednes
day. Manager Griffin is now arrang
ing for games at Lancaster Thursday
and Friday.
It Is quite likely that the University
of Pennsylvania team will be here to
play next week Saturday. The uni
versity base ball manager Is now In
correspondence with Manager Griffin,
and If the question of guarantee can
be agreed upon the collegians will be
here.

TROUT SEASON OPENS.
Day Was Very Unfavorable nnd but
Pew CatrhcK Reported.
A more unsatisfactory day than yes
terday for the beginning of a trout sea
son would be dltllcult to Imagine. Out
of ton fishermen who on Wednesday
had planned to sally forth yesterday
they always "sally forth" probably
only .0110 stuck to his determination
nnd fished, and of those who whipped
the streams very few were of tho old
stock.
It began raining early Wednesday
night and the pour wan copious and In
cessant up to yesterday noon. The
watersheds filled the streams and
turned them Into torrents. Whatever
catches were made were reported from
the headwaters of the smaller feed
streams. The Indications are that not
until tomorrow will the waters sub
side sulllclently to make wading, easy.
Trout were offered for sale l'n the
Scranton markets at noon for $1 per
pound. A Tribune reporter who made
a tour of tho markets found but a few
pounds on salo at any stand, and It Is
likely that not over a half-hundred
weight were brought Into the city be
foro nightfall.
FOR AND AGAINST
THE BICYCLE TAX
Propositions Now Pending In This State
and Illinois.
GOOD ARQUMENTS ON DOTH SIDES
Tax Advocates Say a Wheel Is 11
Luxury mid That n Rider Should
Pay for It--W!icclmcn Nay That
Uicyclcs Improve the Honds mid
Are Veh.clcs of Necessity Rather
Than Pleasure.
In view of the propositions pending
In Illinois and Pennsylvania, to levy a
tax upon bicycles the following rea
sons for and against such a tax, which
appeared tecently In the Chicago Even
ing Journal aio Interesting. The argu
ments In favor of the tax are as fol
lows: 1. Cyclists use the roads und should,
therefore contribute to the local expen
diture. 2. A cycle Is a luxury.
3. Cycles constitute n class of traffic
which sometimes Inconveniences or en
dangers the timid pedestrian.
1. The possession of a bicycle Implies
means, which presents tli" piospect of
gettlrg the tax from the rider.
H. Money must be raised from one
class or another for local purposes.
6. Some people think a tax would
have the effect of suppressing the care
less and oftentimes reckless scorcher.
7. A tax would render registration
possible, and tlieteby increase tho cy
clist's ssnse of responsibility for be
havior on the road.
S. A majority of cyclists are young
people who do not contribute to the
lists of taxable property.
9. Some middle-aged and old people
regard the growth of the pasttme with
envy and Jealousy, not being attuned
to the age In which they live.
10. The permanence of cycling Is now
assured, and the taxation of bicycles
offers a steady, Increasing prospect of
revenue.
BICYCLISTS' ARGUMENTS.
The arguments against the tax are:
1. The cyclist does not wear out the
roads or leave offensive tracks as does
the horse traffic, create blocks, or im
pede tralilc In any manner whatever,
2. A cycle, though fieuently a lux
ury, Is often a necessity to the work
man and the business man as well.
3. The cyclist, although tho careless
pel son often casts his body before his
wheel, always suflcrs with his victim
In person, machine, and sometimes
purse.
4. Cycling Is pursued by rich and
poor alike, and a uniform tax on ma
chines would press harshly on the poor
rider.
5. A tax upon an Instrument of loco
matlon, not used solely for local pur
poses, would be costly to enforce, and
unless fixed at an oppressively high
rate the expense of arranging Its Inci
dence and collection would seriously
diminish the receipts.
C. Tho imposition of a tax or a pas
time and the enforcement of the law by
persecutions and penalties are unpop
ular in a sport-loving country.
COULD NOT HE EQUITABLE.
7. Many persons keep a cycle for oc
casional use, and to tax these equally
with the constant ilders would not be
equitable.
S. A tax would Invailably Impose a
check upon tho pursuft of a healthy and
beneficial pastime.
In some cities wheelmen are In fnvor
of placing a tax ranging from 23 cents
to $1 per year on bicycles, the money
to be devoted to the construction of
sldepaths.
SCHRIVER'S GREAT CATCH.
Did Not Cntch llio llnll Thrown
from Washington lloiiiinii'iit.
Catcher "Bill" Sehrlver, who will play
this season with the Cincinnati team,
has been credited with having caught
a base ball thrown from the top of the
Washington monument about three
years ago when ho was in that city as
a member of the Chicago team. In a
recent interview about the matter
Sehrlver sold:
"I did not catch a ball thrown from
the Washington monument. I did not
say that I did. In fact, I did not try
to catch the ball. A lot of the Chicago
players and the clerks In the Arlington
hotel were one day talking about the
feat. Some one made a bet that there
was not a ball player In the crowd that
could even judge a ball thrown from
such a height well enough to get his
hands under It. Anson took the bet
and selected me to attempt the feat.
It was no trick at all. I had no trouble
In Judglngtheball. I got both hands un
der It fairly, but I didn't try to catch
It. I'll bet tZO to ?25 that I can catch
a ball thrown from the monument If
the watchman will give the permission
to try It. A fellow can't Judge a ball
D00 feet In the air and keep an eye on
the watchman at the same time.
"Any time I can get a bet and be
given half a dozen trials, with no Inter
ference, I'll be ready to post my money
that I can make the catch. I never had
any trouble with foul files. I don't care
how high up they go or the condition
of the sky. I rarely fall to get under
them. I only missed three foul llles of
last season."

Boston, April 15. Shortly after John
U Sullivan returned from Carson City,
his manager, Frank V, Dunn, posted
$1,000 with a Hoatorf paper to bind a

ness, it la claimed, nnd this money will

able to go to New York, has empowered
Nelse Innes, sporting editor of the Hos
ton Herald, to go to Now York nnd

the latgest iuiie offeied by any dub.
Mr. Innes will be In New York tomor
row to see Kltzslmmons nnd demands
an answer "Yes" or "No" whether .10
will fight Sullivan or not. Whatever

of Al Smith, who was the stakeholder
In the Fltsslmmono-Corbctt match.

AROUND THE ROPED ARENA.
Under the old London prize ring rules
a round lasted until one man went to
grass. Mitchell and Sullivan fought 39
minutes without a pause. That Is, Sul
livan fought and Mitchell sprinted.
When John L,. Sullivan fought "the
Slade' he made a prophecy that wi3
subsequently fulfilled. lie said that he
would put "tho Slade's" head through
a big bass drum and sure enough when
the time came Sullivan knocked his op
ponent clear through the ropes and
"the Slade" was extricated fiom the
big Instrument only after tho liveliest
tussle.
George Dixon and Cal McCarthy
fought 72 rounds before their light was
called a draw. In tho second round
McCarthy bioko his left hand and for
flvo hours he fought with his right.
There was no champion declared that
night in Uoston.
Since Maher began training for his
expected contest with Tom Shatkey he
has taken off a lot of weight. Maher
is giving strict attention to his wind,
which has bothered' him In some of his
past fights.
Steve O'Donnell appears to be afraid
of Joe Rutler. Tho Olympic club, of
Athens, Delaware county, offered him
a good purse to meet' Hutler, but Hilly
Mudden, his manager, stated that Steve
would not box any colored men. It Is
not so long ago since Steve boxed Wal
ter Johnson, a colored man, In Phlla
delhla. Peihaps he got too much of a
drubbing that time and don't want an
other dose.
WHIRLS OF THE WHEEL.
Philadelphia wheelmen have been
