Soccer Bowling Ball
What are the origins of the terms given to balls of different lengths?
I can understand why short-pitched/long-hop came into use, as well as the description "good length". But what are the origins of the terms:
1) Yorker: what does this have to do York/Yorkshire/the Duke of York or New York?
2) Half-volley: I understand the term is used in many sports (soccer, tennis etc), but what exactly did the volley represent and why is a ball that pitches just short of the bat/foot/racquet described as "half of" a volley?
3) Full toss: I understand the ball has been tossed up "on the full", but where did the words "on the full' get its cricket meaning?
4) Beamer: A batsman would hardly be expected to beam happily at the bowler who has bowled one. Where did it get the name?
Yorker: originated in england from the duke of york
Half volley: the term volley originates from the missile projectile path , in cricket the term is used as it hits the bat immediately in the middle as it lands
Full Toss: tossing is throwing a ball or a coin, the meaning of full , you know, any ball without hitting the ground is called as full toss
Beamer: the term is originated from a beam, a beam is usually a straight horizontal concrete between two vertical concrete coloumns , as civil engineers know better, they cast beams to support coloumns , so the bowler and batsman are two vertical entities here, and the trajectory of the ball , which is just horizontal is called the beamer.

What are those things called where one thing hits another, then causes that to hit something, and so on?
Let's say a soccer ball fell, hit a door, the door fell, hit a string, and the string poured milk into a cereal bowl or something.
What are those called?
I saw one on Halo 3 - here's the link.
Rube Goldberg device?
