just forty years ago on the 18th
of June, 1916, was played the first
match game of base ball. 1t occurred in
Hoboken, New Jersey, though both
the contesting clubs belonged in New
York. This original game of base
ball consisted of only four innings
the rule then being tue club first
making twenty-one runs in ever
innings should be victor. The
rules did not provide for tht
calling of balls or strikes, ant
hence, if player reached his frs
base in safety, his successor at ths
bat would stand idly at the home
plate, watching the pitcher andcatch
er as they tossed the ball back an(
