In the early eighties the batsmen had the privilege of calling for a high or low ball when at bat. The high ball had to pass the zone from the neck to the waistline. The low ball from the belt to the knees. The hurier who possessed a good drop ball was getting ,by with wonderful results. In the days of the 50-fo- pitching dis-tance the down shoot was much more effective than it is todav for the rea- - son that It didn't break until right on top of the batsman, so the man at but could not, tell much about the height It would pass the plate. . Charles Buffington, with the Boston and Philadelphia clubs from 18.83 until 1893, was considered one of the high-clas- s hurlers. Buffington had a drop ball that was a beauty and when he had It working right It was practically unhlt table. Buff wns tall ' and his height enabled him to start this de-livery high and It would sweep down on the unsuspecting bat sin tin like a kingfisher diving nfter a trout. Buf-fington pitched the ball with a high overhand swing and in Us course toward the plate It would look to the batsman like a high ball, the kind he culled for. Its deceptlveness fooled him Into swinging and he invariably would miss the bull by a foot. , The batsman who called for a low ball would gnze at the evident high one started by Buff and let his bat settle over his shoulder, when the ball would suddenly duck down and pass over the plate at the height called for. In 1SS4, while pitching for the Bos-ton club, Buffington fanned 402 bats-men, which is the record for the Na-tional league for a season. In a nlne-lnnin- g game against Cleveland, played In 1884, the big liurler fanned 17 men, which is the second best record to major league baseball. FAMOUS PAINTERS WHO HAVE STARVED '.'. Story of Nineteenth Century ; Masters One of Suffering. Again and again I am asked by peo-ple who "know nothing about art, but know what they like," what there Is to admire in the pictures of Van Gogh, two of which have Just been acquired for the British nation. I only run the risk of being laughed at if I say that Van Gogh did not paint a mere chair, but. the soul of the chair, and that It Is Impossible to explain It to those who do not feel the passion with which that wonderful Dutchman t realized his conception of the real na-- f ture of Inanimate objects as well as of living beings. The wonder to nie Is not that there are people willing to pay $15,000 and more for one of Van Gogh's pictures, but that this practical recognition of his grnutness was decayed until after his death, and that he was allowed to rspeud his life on earth In sordid pov-erty and neglect and on the verge of starvation. But such Is the story of the masters of the Nineteenth century, and more ' particularly of the Impressionists and their Immediate precursors, Jean Fran-col- s Millet, the painter of the world-fame- d "Angel usj" Is a notable ln-- ) stance. One of his biographers tells '1 us that "his days were darkened by , adversity and hope deferred, the gaunt specter of Want hovered ever about 1 his home and was only driven from his threshold by almost superhuman efforts, while sickness and suffering I were never lcag absent from his pil-low." Even more tragic than the story of ! Millet's life Is that of Meryon's and Montlcelll's. Meryon's whole career was a heartening struggle against od- - verslty, ending In starvation and mad-ness. When he had completed his won-- i derful Tarls set of etchings he vainly tried to find purchasers for It at $5 the set. In 1010 an Impression of cue of the plates, "L'AbsIde de Notre Dame," sold for $3,200, and $1,000 la about the average price paid by col-lectors for a single Impression of a I plnte from the Paris set. Montlcelll "lived In such poverty that he had to-- go round the cafes of Marseilles to sell small masterpiece! v for $2.W), disposing of them only with difficulty even at that price, and died, half-ma- In destitution." London Mail s Harvard and Penn to HI $ Play With Virginia ilc I'nlverslty of Virginia will J pluy two eastern elevens this ijc season, Pennsylvania at Phil- - adelphla on October 18 and Har- - vii rd at Cambridge, October 4.

Greasy Neale, former couch at Washington und Jefferson, now at Virginia, ex- - pects to put forth a great team this fall. Keeping Air Moist In homes heated by hot nlr furnaces, with registers In the floor, It Is a good plan to keep cans of water hung In the register. Any handy person can make holes In a tin cn In which to fasten a wire halo, and this enn be hung on a narrow strip of wood laid across the furnace pipe. Just below the floor level. A two-qua- rt can will require filling twice a week. This will not only pre-vent the furniture from drying out, but Is an aid to the health of the fam-ily, as It keeps the nlr moist.

How Much Can Man Lift? ,r Just what a man can get under and lift with his back Is a mooted question. I have seen a man get under a plat-form upon which 22 men were stand-ing and rear up and stnnd with It for over a minute. When I was nineteen years old I picked up with my arms and carried for a few paces a casting weighing pounds. Later I carried a sugar barrel full of chains weighing around 000 pounds and have carried hundreds of barrels of oak-bar- ex-tract ranging from GOO to 800 pounds. I used to be a trifle proud of these feats until I got to perusing the World Almanac and noted real lifting and car-rying feats which made my best look like child's play. If I remember right-ly the heaviest lift made with the handa (unassisted with a rope around the neck) Is around a ton. Edgar Young In Adventure Magazine.
