Philadelphia Inquirer. baseball issued Its who Jumped ORGANIZED the players and they got leagues, response Dave Danforth deand the steel circuit going serting back to Gnlumbus Evidently the others are satisfied to be blacklisted, or consider their grievances too great to be wiped out by any threats of drastic Mostly the players who deserted big league teams tor the independent ranks did so for purely financial reasons, and we are not familiar with many of the casc.s But .there Is one player who jumped whom we know to have a just grievance, and the case should act as a warning to tiro basytull magnates to correct an evil of long Mantling that has frequently cans d dissension among the ranks of worlds series ball clubs. The plaver we have reference to is Manuel i'ueto, the Cuban outfielder, who Cincinnati team to play with jumped the the Franklin, Ia club. Cueto played in e Twenty-ningames for Cincinnati last season, which was ten more than Hank Schreiber plaved. seventeen more than was played by Charley Fee and many more than either Eddie Oerner or Roy Mitchell played with the Reds Then the Cjncinna l team sent Cueto to Rohester in the International league in midseason and the Cuban proceeded to thump the agate for a batting average of 350 in the International circuit, so the Cincinnati team recalled Cueto at the end of the lnttrnaumal league season Cueto reported back to the Cincinnati club and after staving with the club a shoit time he was told by the management that he would not be needed any more that fall, as the season was almost over, and that he could go home. But he was told that he was still the property of the Cincinnati team, and they would send him h contract for this year. When he asked about his shurt of the worlds senes money he was told that it would be put before, the players, who decided such matters, and that he w'ould be advised of the result, but that he would get a part of a shire at least. So Cueto went to his home in Havana He wa Inter sent word that the players had voted that he was not entitled to anv of the world s series money, though S hreiber. who had played Irt ten less gntms, and See, who bad played In seventeen less games and neither of whom had been the property of the club all season, as Cueto had been, were each voted half a share, and . Gerner and Mitchell received a full share Cueto never received a cent of worlds serns money, though he was ali the time the property of the Cincinnati hall club and has hi correspondence with the Cincinnati club prov it. They owned him while they were winning tire pennant and he helped in the winning by pUving in twenty-nin- e games in the outfield during , ths sickness of Sherwood Magee, and they owned him during ths playing of the worlds series and they own him yet, so far as organised bail Is concerned. When I wat In Cuba last wtntsr I persaw the letters written to Cueto sonally by Garry Herrman, president of the Cincinnati club, and In which Herrman reiterated that he was still the property of the Cincinnati team and a contract would be sent to him for this season. Cueto, who doesnt write much English, appealed to me to write to President Huydler concerning his case, which I did, quoting the correspondence of Mr. Herrman, which proved that Cueto had at ai! times been the property of the Cincinnati team. But the Cincinnati team flatly refused to do anything in the matter and the league refused to take any action whatever. Cueto then received an offer from the Franklin team and promptly accepted it with the remark that he was through with organized hall for good. Now, no matter whether a fellow Is a Cuban or a Turk, or what he la right Is right. The aooner the baseball beads start to deal squarely with the. players the sooner they can expect the players to deal squarely with them. Cueto was entitled to a worlds series split, more so than some of the players who were voted a share because they happened to be present at the meeting of the players when the voting was done, but because the Cuban was not present the Cincinnati frose him out and the club players officials and the head of the National league permitted them to get away with it It was a rank injustice. I am not using hearsay evidence in making this statement as I myself read the correspondence written by Mr, Herrman after the world s series, which proves that Cueto was at all times the property of the Cincinnati team. If baseball law is such that !t permits the players on a team particiiating in a worlds series to meet and vote the division of the world's series money as see Is It to then fit do, they high time they changed that law. Every world's sees a squabble among the players series over the money and consequent dissension in the ranks of all pennant winning ball clubs, and there never has been any re&so,n at all why this question of dividing the money should be left in the hands of the players. Dissension over this division of the worlds series money broke up Jake Stahl's world s champion Red Sox after 1!M2, and Larry McLean once had to threaten to punch the whole Nei York Giant ball club in order to get hia split of the money after he had played the best ball of any during the series itself. Still the national commission, if there is such a thing, hasn't taken warning and taken the question of dividing the spoils out of the hands of the playera, where it never should have been left at all. The sooner they get busy and do this the Moner theyll begin to obtain harmony among the players of winning ball clubs.

How U it that the ball curves In midair, and changes Us course The explanation once, or even twice? lies In this fact: That the pitcher In ball delivering the Imparts to it & certain spinning or twisting motion, and this causes the ball to meet different degrees of air resistance on Its two sidee The side which is during the flight. spinning or turning away from the forward motion will meet with less air resistance than the side which Is turning toward the direction of Us flight and this unequal resistance, coupled with the balls own spinning motion, causes it to change the direction of its flight en route. When two changes of direction are noted, the ball baa been pitched In sue) e manner that the direction or angle of Us spin will change after a certain length, and this will cause a second alteration in Us course, owing to the resistance of the air on a different side of the ball.
