BASEBALL HISTORY.

S. r. Church Has Given Public a Past
Record of National Game.
one OF the most complete histories
of baseball that was ever written is
now being published by S. r. Church
Of San Francisco. giving interesting
facts about baseball that have never
been dreamed OF by the ordinary fan.
The first volume, now out. gives a very
complete record Of the game from 1s47
TO 1871. including a detailed account OF
all the important games. Mr.. Church
shows that the came is American in its
origin. and not taken from the old Eng
lish game of FOUNDERS, as has been
claimed. In fact. he proves that the
English game was but a weak attempt
OF the Britishers In trying 20 copy aft
er the American game of baseball. The
first authentic record of baseball is in
1872. when several gentlemen in New
York met frequently on grounds To-
Gated where the Madison Square Gar
dens now stand and played the game
for recreation. This led TO the organ
ization OF the team called the Knick-
erbockers IN 1S45.
According 10 Mr.. Church. the first
baseball game between regularly or
ganized teams was played the same
year between the Knickerbockers and
nine called the New Yorks. which the
latter won in four innings by a score
OF twenty-three TO one. Clubs increased
all over the east until 1857, when the
National Association OF Ball Players
was organized 20 adopt general rules
10 govern the game and control the
sport This association had at one time
over 2eO clubs in its membership. and
held together until 1871, when a profess
sionai organization took control OF the
game.
The first professional ball players ap-
peared IN 1867; mp until that time every
body connected with the game being

their people. and promises that the British au-
