The Physics of Baseball by W. G. Wright 1918
A compact exploration of how physics applies to baseball, detailing how ball composition, bat mass, thrower technique, air resistance, and spin affect pitch and hit trajectories. It discusses curvature, rotation, spitting curve myths, and real limits of how far a ball can travel under varying conditions while preserving the sport’s practical, observable factors.

Enumeration Drop Tied to Floods and Birth Rate in Indiana
Indiana reports a smaller net gain in school enumeration this year at 1,433, down from 3,309 in 1912, due to floods forcing relocations and a falling birth rate. Total school children reach 762,927 with 386,417 white males and 360,805 white females. City enumerations rise while townships and towns show losses, reflecting consolidation trends. Meanwhile, Masons of Indiana elect new officers as claims for Masonic home sites in Crawfordsville Franklin Zionsville Rushville and other areas are explored. Five graduates receive diplomas at the Indiana School for the Blind. Leon Hayes of Muncie elected president of the Indiana branch of the National Letter Carriers association.
