In Merkle, Kllduff, Hollocher an

The pitching and catching staffs c

There is just one element in th

1: Mi6s Lathrop, a native of North

j The “Rat Lady,” as she is known

t j chiefly in air pressure tests. The ro

e changes in atmospheric conditions,
a and at different altitudes exhibit un

In submarine depth tests and in the
