The Nation Games

Base bali promises to be played
to a greater extcut TIE coming sea-
son than even last year. Arrange
ments have already been made for a
state tournament at Madison in june.
The following analysis Of the game
by philosophical observer may not
be unintcresting to its lovers:
The game is great invention. 1t
is easily understood. Nj You have
to do is to-keep your eye upon the
ball,
It is all abou. the ball.
They also use a bat. The bat is
a club built on the model Of the club
Barnum killed captain Cook with.
This is why the organization is
called club.
One fellow takes a club and stands
on a line. and another stands in
front Of him and fires the ball at
him.
Tho chap With the club hits back.
The ball Aies in the other Girec-
ton.
The first fellow drops the club as
though he was scared, and runs like
a pickpoeket with an VI. F., after
him.
Several fellows run after the ball:
somebody catches it and fires it at
somebody else, when the chap who
bad the club stops running.
Another fellow then takes the
club, and the same man, who is
called pitcher, pitches on him,
fires the ball at him, and he hits
back, knocks the ball, drops his
club and cuts his stick for the first
base.
Half a dozen fellows out on picket
duty scramble for the all
One reliable B. B. is posted be-
hind the club man, in case the club
man misses tho ball, to see that it
don't 60 by and hit the umpire.
When one side il out, the other
side goes in, and when both sides
are out it is called innings.
1t is quite an intelligent game,
depending entirely On the use OF
your legs. The first principle of the
game is running. --
When you are lin, you run away
from tic ball when you are out, .
you run after it.
1t is splendid exercise; keeps you
SO warm consequently it is always
played iu the summer Tine.
