The ball rarely touches the thumb; the natural straightening of the first finger at the moment of delivery imparts the required break; but to bowl a length without the use of the thumb, and to train your fingers to fall at will into this cramped position, involves considerably more patience and practice than the average cricketer cares to give. At his best and in full health he was as fast as an ordinary player cares to encounter. 29. If the player be misled as to which ball is to play on him by a ball which is dead being wrongly marked on the board as still alive, he does not lose a life to his player. He was drowsy still and disposed to fall asleep again, if he but sat still a moment. While Will G. MacRae probably was the first of the modern by-line sports editors, the first reporter to make a specialty of sports in Portland, and therefore, almost certainly, in Oregon, was Henry E. Reed, still active as appraiser, broker, and all-around real-estate authority, who began his reporting career January 9, 1883, in the second week of the life of the Daily News.

The baseball vernacular is not there; reporting of the diamond sport is, putting it mildly, in its infancy. While on the Oregonian Reed developed amateur baseball in the city, being the first sports writer on the Pacific Coast to play up this important branch of sport. Amateur baseball got 150 words of notice on the election of Frank E. Watkins as captain of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club baseball team, together with gossip on an amateur league to be formed. Here follows 200 words of a speech made by someone introducing the players. Here we note an entire absence of detail. Men like Harry B. Smith of the Portland Telegram, now of the San Francisco Chronicle; Will G. MacRae of the Oregonian, and John A. Horan of the new Journal were given a fairly free hand and highly in creased space to devote to all the developing sport activities. Here's what the Oregonian of 1871 did when it was really trying to play up something like a billiard tournament. February 12, 1891, the Oregonian contained 1¼ columns of sports out of a total news space of 45 columns, or less than 3 per cent. The reporter followed up this story by interviewing the pedestrian the next day (Oregonian of July I1, 1871), a bit of unusual journalistic enterprise.

Those who are inclined to take a doubtful view of Dempsey say that his day has come. Upon this charge, which seemed to take the pugilists by surprise, the accused were held in $2,000 bail each, to await the action of the Grand Jury. It does not take a newspaper worker to realize that the foregoing headline leaves much to be desired in snappiness and action. He had just been roused up from a sleep of about eight hours, and he had got up and dressed to stir around a little. Wicket after wicket has he got at mid-off through Sam's fearless fielding, and run after run has he been saved. The ball comes down well clear of the leg stick, and is cut behind the wicket and between the wicket and the stumper! Hirst came up to the wicket with his swinging run, the ball left his hand; Bush's left leg shot out for his slashing stroke by cover, and it was only by astonishing luck that at the very last moment he stopped a yorker almost behind his right foot, and in stopping it overbalanced and lay prone-thus emphasising the luck he had experienced and the amount of the swerve.

The little cat boats were in great requisition, and had large parties of ladies and their escorts on board, whom they were taking out to witness the start. There were still, however, many days on which little or no space was given up to this type of material. New York Times-Issues of eleven days examined-August 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31-contained a total of 374 inches of sports, an average of 34 inches a day. Average space for the twelve days in August on which sport news appeared was 10½ inches, or less than per cent of the non-advertising space. Baltimore, August 14.- As stated yesterday both Mace and O'Baldwin were arrested, and gave bail not to violate the laws of the State of Maryland as principals or seconds in a prizefight within the limits of the State for twelve months. Rudolphe, the champion billiard player of the world, arrived in this place last Saturday, and in the evening gave an exhibition of some of his fancy strokes. No player gets a mention; there is no lineup; umpire gets no notice; no story of how the game was won; no score by innings.
