Sam Hale Delivers For Gassers In Tenth Inning Victory
After Eddie Sicking started the tenth with a two-base hit, Sam Hale did not bunt as expected but ripped a left field fence hit scoring Sicking and setting up a Bronchos win mood. The Gassers, led by Verbout in center and a productive offense, weathered injuries and crowd chatter as Barfoot pitched well and Cixde kept opposition low. This fragment also notes a county clerk candidacy and Belmont Park racing chatter from 1918 with Cudgel facing Spuc amid minor ad lines.

Gravity and Bicycles Explain Why Heavier Riders Coasting Faster
A reader questions Galileo's equal-velocity gravity when a 200 pound rider on a bicycle coasts downhill faster than a 150 pound rider. The article explains air resistance and wheel friction as key factors, noting heavier bodies gain momentum to overcome drag, while in a vacuum all fall at same speed. It references Galileo’s cannonball experiment and discusses how surface area, mass, and momentum affect descent with air resistance. It also notes clouds would fall if air were removed.
