riXGKK NAIL BALL
IS LATEST THING
Owen Slimmer of Detroit Ha New
nt Delivery In Twisters.
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.

Found Coin of 1818 In Garden.
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

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

statements were returned to Assessor
Sigler, says the Oregon Daily Jour
nal. The field work of the assessor-'
office for the year Is about ompleted

such a rapid rate that the work of
making out the roll Is progressing
rapidly.

French Scientist Describes Strang
Case of Morbl Mentality.
A curious Bort of vanity was de
scribed at the meeting of the French
Academy of Medicine when Profes

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

was supreme over the county vote on
prohibition in favor of the county
court. This closes every saloon In
