HAVEN EXPLAINS HOW BULLET WAS ANCESTOR OF CURVE BALL

"Don't bother to aim your guns because it won't do any good; just blaze away" was the order given to British soldiers during the Revolutionary War, asserted Charles T. Haven in the Upper Common Room of the Union last night.

"Not only were the British guns inaccurate, but the bullets bounced from side to side in the barrels," said Mr. Haven, noted fire-arms expert, in a lecture sponsored by the Harvard Memorial Society.

The bullets were round and their motion through the barrel resembled that of the screw ball thrown by Pittsburgh's Cy Blanton, and when the bullet left the end of the barrel, it had a sharper curve than Dizzy Dean's They went straight for a certain distance and then broke sharply like a pitcher nipping the corner of an imaginary plate.
