ROCKFORD|TE GIVES SOME INTERESTING
"REMINISCENCES OF BASEBALL YEARS AGO

An old timer writing IN the Rockford
Star gives some interesting pointers
about baseball in the early days. He
says:
Rockford is the home of baseball i'll
the west. Therefore, story about the
game in the early days will not be
amiss. There was no professional
baseball in the early '70s, though the
Atlantics of Brooklyn. Mutuals of New
York. Athletics of Philadelphia Ma
tionals OF Washington and Forest Citys
OF Rockford We're semi-professionals,
most of them playing on the coopera-
tive plan. Few cities had ball parks,
and none had grand stands. A lively
bah was used, and the scores some
times were 100 to IS. Players wore
long trousers.
To the late Harry Wright is due the
credit of introducing professional base
ball. He was Philadelphia and
tried TO interest the city of Brotherly
Love in securing a great team, but
failed He then went TO Cincinnati
where he was received with open arms.
He engaged the best players in the
country, put them in a gymnasium.

Utah there is no doubt, and little dis
guise of the endowment robe, it's being
unremittingly worm and it's symbolism.
Anyone who has lived any length of
time in Utah will tell you that every
Mormon who has received the right to
wear an endowment robe, never omits
to wear it. Such garments are on sale
at Mormon stores in varying quality to
suit the purse of different believers,
though none but Mormons can buy
them. The endowment robe is never
wholly out of contact with a true Nor
mon. When the bath is taken the robe
of course is taken off the body but is
wrapped around the arm, or in soma
similar way is kept in contact with the
person. Indeed it is an openly talked
of thing in Utah that because of the
inconvenience of taking bath and at
the same time not entirely separating
the endowment robe from the body,
great many MormOns never take baths,
and great many more don't take
them as often as they ought. Abundant
evidence of the fact of such garments
and of their use is found in the case of
Mormons injured by accident and TAX
en- to hospitals for treatment, and of
bodies of Mormons dead from violence
and taken to morgues.
