In the American Magazine Eddie Col lins of tbe Philadelphia Athletics writes about "Pitchers I Hare Faced." Following is a part of what be bas to say about Eddie Walsh, whom be re gards as the best spltball pitcher: "Walsh U tbe only real master of the spltball I know of. Be was tbe drst absolutely to perfect and control it Most spltball pitchers are wild, and they have trouble especially to make tbelr spitter a strike and usually have to resort to the fast one. but not Walsb. Many times I have seen him give a batter three balls and no strikes, and then three spltters would go swisb lug across tbe plate knee high, and tbe batter would sit down. Walsb Invari ably alms bis spitter nt one spot on a batter namely, between the waist and the knees. 1 have never seen n good spitter that broke above the waist.

Skyscrapers, New York Finds, Are Not a Paying Proposition. In New fork's skyscraper belt where tbe buildings run from one to fifty-Ore floors, tbelr average height Is under six stories and a half. Only half a dozen skyscraiiers In all tbe city may fairly be carted beautiful, though a larger number are admirable, feats of engineering. All the more noteworthy, then, Is the calculation of the secretary of New York's height of buildings commission thill, allowiug for depreciation, the skyscraper's Investment return Is but Vri per cent. Nor does this class of cdilice profit tbe community more than the Individual. The cost In light and air Is supplemented by the fact that skyscrapers burst sewers with their outliow. und force the city to Install a high pressure system for Are fighting. One often bears arguments against the construction of- high buildings based upon aesthetics. Tbe most ap pealing argument is likely to prove that of dollars and rents. Unless as an advertising proposition (which need not greatly concern us) skyscrapers don't pay. New l'ork bas found this out rather expensively. The results of the experiment are respectfully refer red to all those growing cities In which, as a matter of local pride, sky scraper construction Is now so earnest ly prooscd. New York Tribune.
