Somewhere about 1S45 the first re-
corded match was played by a club
lust organized in New York City and
called the Knickerbockers. Baseball,
or base" or FOUNDERS" had been
played before by boys of all ages; but
this club, formed doubtless because OF
the growing intcAest in the sport, is
undoubtedly the first organization
which really made the game study
and carried on regular practice and ar
ranged regular matches.
The game in New York was in many
respects different from the one played
in Boston, but our present "old cat IS
the basis of both. Boys had played
''old cat" ali over the country for for
ty years before the Knickerbockers
ever thought of forming themselves in
to club and making rules for the
sport.

"A few years later F. J. V. Skiff and

farewell benefit performance to Field
at the old Denver Academy of Music,
prior TO Fields departure for Chicago
The poet was stage manager and princl-
pal performer. In fact, Field was the
entire show, TO the qualification or all OF
his friends and the general public. Theo-
dore Thomas had just appeared at the
TABOR Grand opera house with his superb
orchestra. and Fields first number on his

clans in front. and attributing the har-
monious sounds to the creatures OF wire
behind him, was something never TO be

sisted largely of Fields performances at

accompaniment Numbers were render

The plaintiff also charges that Shul-
sen was accompanied by Joseph Will
liams, a justice OF the peace, to take
deceased's acknowledgment to the
deed of conveyance, but that deceased
was too near dead to comprehend the
purport of the deed and only made his
mark for signature and did not and

was made by fraudulent means and
