UP) It Was 'a little over 50 years ago that Will Fer guson startled, the Georgia sandlots by throwing a curve ball. Ferguson follows the fortunes of pitchers In the big leagues now with the interest of a youngster, although 'he la getting along In years. He knowB all the tricks present day pitchers use, and said he knew about all ex cept two, back In his days on the mound. He never threw the spit ball or knuckle ball. It was in 1879, Ferguson said, 'that . he first heard of curves. The baseball books "told about them that spring, and printed diagrams showing how to hold the ball and turn it loose. j "I practiced according to directions, but couldn't do any tricks," he said. But that summer Ferguson got a chance to watch a pitcher from Knox ville throw curves and dogged his steps untllhe showed him how it was done. . . During his career as a pitcher, Fer guson lost but one game. That was against the first professional team he ever saw. Truo enough, there was the game between Fairburn and Douglasvllle in 1884 when the opposion took 60 runs off Ferguson's deliverybut ruxiivi viem aw r? n 2$ ounces TT 7 efficiehf IT'S DOUBLE ACTING Attend . . no KITCHEN CHAUTAUQUA 2 to 4 P.
