A FEW FACTS ABOUT BASEBALL.

!, many interesting facts are known
concerning the game, but will
publish here few facts that ara
possibly new to some members of
the corps.
Baseball was first played in the
'30's or '40's, the first club being
formed In New York, and this club
called themselves the Knicker.
bockers.
The first matched game was
played at Hoboken, N. Y, June 10,
1916, and the first rules governing
baseball were drawn up in New
York in 1857.
We are now about ready TO form
a company baseball league, so let's
see when the first league was
formed. II was also in New York
in 1857, that city's team winning
the championship the following
season, 1858.
The first trophy was given by
the New York Clipper in 1861 and
the first salaried team was Gin
cinnati, in 1868. The first glove
that was used was by one Of the
the Cincinnati Reds, Douglas ALI
son, in 1856, and the first mask
used was invented by F.W Thayer
Of Harvard and was used by the
Harvard team Of 1876.
We have now seen how the game
was brought to prominence, so let's
have few facts about how the
game has progressed.
The Professional National Asso.
citation was formed in 1871, the
National League in 1876, the Amer.
lean Association in 1881, but
lasted only ten years. However,
this league was the fret to award
the series TO the team having the
best percentage. The Players
League was formed in 1890, but
disbanded in 1892, while the other !
most important league OF today, c
excepting the National) the Amer. !
lean, was formed in 1894, with h
Bon Johnson a. president. h
The first / TO 0 game ever played q

Warsaw, March 5.-The city was quiet last
night. The police made many arrests and pa

The |workmer IN nearly all the sugar facto-

the district is quiet. and there are signs that
the strikes are ending.
