Viigue rumors have drifted over the wires from time to time about a won derful new twlet to the baseball In vented by Owen Summers, the new TlRer recruit of the American league. It Is called the "finger-nail ball," but must of the fans have supposed It w is merely some slight variation of tin' knuckle-hall, the fade-away or the splitter that was being exploited for the benefit of Summers, hut accord ing to the Baseball Magazine, "Silk" O'Laughlin says It Is something en tirely new in baseball, and Is the most remarkable delivery In use to day. "I've been behind pitchers of every kind and description for a good many years." comments "Silk," "and I don't want to look at any stranger thing in the pitching line. If I saw anything more weird I'd think I had the Jim Jams. I have worked behind Sum mers In several games which he has won, and that ball of his Is easily the most wonderful piece of pitching I ever saw. How he gets such a freak ish break on the ball Is more than I can fathom. "lie grips the ball with the tips of his fingers when ho goes to throw. It lushes through the air like a float er, and yet has speed. Just as It gets near the plate, the slight curve on it stops and the ball Is apparently sus pended In the air for the fraction of a second, until It looks as If Summers has thrown a boomerang that Is about to start back towards him. For Just that fraction of u second It seems to cease moving, and then Instead of continuing on its natural course, the curve Is completely reversed, the ball going the other way. He can use it as a slow ball, when It breaks more slowly, or he can put speed on It." "I got It trying to develop this knuckle ball I had heard so much about," says Summers. "I watched Eddie CIcotte, who first used the knuckle, and tried to follow him. He rested the ball against his knuckles but I quit that because I could not control It. I found by holding the ball with my finger tips and steady ing It with my thumb alone I could get a peculiar break to It and send It to the batters with considerable speed n nd good control. I worked on It two years." The delivery requires strong, wiry fingers, and these Summers possess es. His fingers are well placed and remarkably long and he has a grip like a vise. The nails must be kept trimmed or they will be torn In de livering the ball. Summers suffered from a torn nail from his own deliv ery two weeks after the season open ed up.

Horsea Burned Fire, which resulted Alive, In a S1000 loss to the owners, broke out In the Barn on the Baker & Druse ranch on Summit View road Friday afternoon, says the Yakima Republic. Two horses, a quantity of hay, the build' Ing Itself and a dozen fruit trees were destroyed before willing neighbors could form a bucket brigade and pre vent flames spreading to near-by out buildings and the house. The cause of the fire is a mystery. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Riggle have been living on the ranch al Isprlng. They were moving their furniture and other household effects to town when the blaze was discovered. It Is be lieved a drayman who assisted in the moving dropped a lighted match In to a dry manure pile. So quickly did the flames spread that It was Impossible t odo much fire fighting.

That Josephine county is the most resourceful, as well as the most pro lific. when it comes to productiveness of the soil, of any In the world, Is no longer a mooted question, says the Grant's Pass Courier. When a farmer can raise a big crop of pota toes and a crop of gold and sliver coins on the same piece of ground at one and the same time this should b sufficient to convince even the most skeptical. This feat has been per formed by L. E. Sharp, who resides near the mouth of Jones creek. Mr. Sharp's farm fs what was for merly the old Curry place, and last season while digging his potatoes he picked up with the spuds a $10 gold piece of the date of 1848. The coin is not worn perceptibly, which would Indicate that it was lost before it had been In use very long. At anotner time and In very nearly the same place he plowed up a Spanish shilling. dated 1793. This silver piece shows evidence of long usage. How these coins came to be where they were found or how long there, is a mystery. League Team to Dlslmnd. Owing to the somewhat limited pat ronage of the baseball games in this city during the last thre weeks, It is doubtful If there will be any more league ball here this year, says the Walla Walla Statesman. Yesterday's game was witnessed by some 30 or 40 people and games before have been played to smaller crowds. A 14-ln-nlng game brought out but about 50 people. Although there can be noth ing definite learned about the future of the leaeue as far as this Is con cerned, it Is hardly probable that It will be continued. Tuximyers More Numerous. Over 30.000 personal tax statements will be collected and returned by tho county assessor this , year wnen tne work of securing valuations has been completed.

A curious Bort of vanity was de scribed at the meeting of the French Academy of Medicine when Profes sor Deulafot detailed the ' case of a man who for over two years had been afflicted with ulcerous sores, which broke out on both arms. The patient consulted over a dozen physicians and tried many varieties of treatment, without relief. Finally he submitted to the amputation of his left arm above the elbow. Some Improvement followed, but later the sores made their appearance with greater frequency than ever. He was then admitted to tne Hotel oieu and placed under Professor Deulafol's care. After keeping the patient under close observation for some time, the professor declared the patient to be a simulator. The man admitted that he had been In the habit of produc ing sores with caustic potash, and Llttlefleld Rules Milium Dry. The Portland Journal says in a dis patch from Condon: In the circuit court here yesterday Judge Llttlefleld decided the case of the saloons against the county court, In which the saloons of Condon contended the city charter was supreme over the county vote on prohibition in favor of the county court. This closes every saloon In Gilliam county for two years. Busy Day for New Judpc.
