as no has been for the last twenty. six
years, 81
in 1897 this Nostor Of the great
American sport was gchoolboy of
thirteen in Brooklyn. In those days the
only prominent field sports IN vogue
were horse racing and the old English
game OF cricket which had a modest
and rather perfunctory following in
sonlo parts OF the country New York
was first IN adopting cricket. II being a
matter of record that match was
played on field near what Is now
Fulton market as carly as 1851. Horse
racing WAS quite active on Long Island,
especially on the old Union course

Baseball as II is now was unknown.
A game bearing a certain resemblance
70 II was played as early as 1881 by
the old Olympic town ball club. The
FIRST baseball club was not organized
until fourteen years later. That was
the Knickerbockor club, which until
then had played modified sort OF town
ball The national game as II Is played
nowadays dates rs existence only from
1851, the time OF tho organization OF
the lrst national association OF ball
players.
The First Professionals.
At that time and for a decade later
al baseball was amateur, all profess
@ionAlism being barred by the national
association rules II was IN 1865 that
the first professional baseball team was
organized. the Red Stockings OF Gin
cinnati, who were the irst mon to draw
Saiaries from what had always. been
regarded as a mere pastime. Three
years later Mr. Chadwick, even at that
Aariy day leader In the development

An instance OF the remarkable VI

been demonstrated at Horbling. near
Billingborough. England. A fine cross
bred Persian mysteriously disappeared
from its home and sixteen days later

MEXICAN SPRINGS.

Two local mineral springs in Mexico
are now marketing their bottled prod
uct and 1t is finding ready sale. Pint
bottles Of Mexican mineral water and
ginger ale retail for from Is cents to 80
cents Mexican currency. while the im-
ported products sell for more than
double those amounts. The native
products have made severe inroads up
on the amount Of foreign waters sold

place on the rules committee. Even
tually he was elected chairman, and IL
was then that he suggested the forma-
ton of state associations Clubs were
springing up all over the country, and
the number was becoming legion. Since
each individual club was entitled to
send delegates to the national associa-
ton conventions that body soon became
too crowded to conduct business. Mr..
Chadwick was responsible for the re-
striction of delegates to the state asso-
Citations. and the improvement was
great and immediate.
Origin Of Baseball.
As may be imagined, Mr.. Chadwick
has some very definite ideas as to the
origin of the national game They are
at variance with the accepted theories,
but he continues to hold fast to his
original belief that the modern game of
baseball is the outcome OF the old fash
toned English pastime known as
FOUNDERS. SO competent Il baseball au-
thority as A. G. Spaldlng declares that
the game is OF distinctly American orl-
gin, and he dates its birth from the
organization OF the original Knicker-
booker club in New York city, Sept
%, 1S45. Mr.. Spaldlng also believes
that the colonial game of one old cat
was the basic idea.
According to Mr.. ChadWick town
ball was tho first step in the evolution
from. FOUNDERS to baseball. Up to that
period no form of ball save lacrosse and
cricket had ever been played in the
country. Town ball became very popu-
lar, and it was played all over the
country until baseball began to assume
pre- eminence One old cat, Mr.. Chad
wick maintains, was not played at all
In those early days, but originated from
the preliminary practice with bat and
ball which took place every time
match game of baseball was on hand
Although "the father of baseball is
an Englishman--he was born in Elk.
eter IN 1924 and came TO America when
he was three years of age--he is in full
sympathy with the effort to make the
game as exclusively of American origin
as Is possible. Since he cannot con-
vince himself that such is absolutely
the case he admits that it consoles him

them to thousands of buildings In
scores of cities-ln fact, wherever there
might be o demand Having accom-
pDshed all this, DR.. Cahill began to
see his way more clearly He realized,
however, that much remained to be
done before any practical result was to
be expected He had no inclination to
put his discovery before the public as a
new and wonderful electric toy. He
was convinced that he was on the right
track and that time and perseverance
would lead him 10 the perfection he
sought. II was not enough to have dis
covered the way 10 produce merely
certain fixed quality of tone. All other
musical instruments do likewise The
thing to be accomplished was to be able
to produce on this single instrument
any tin1bre desired. the liquid sweet
ness Of the flute, the vibrant tremble of
the violin or the resonant blare Of the
brassos.

A Problem Solved.

in time Or. Cahill realized that mis-
system had solved this problem, A
single current from one dynamo pro-
duces only fundamental tone and no
Involuntary vibrations of the dia-
phragm are possible, Thence the in
Ventor proceeded to elaborate his
system. After infinite labor and many
dlsappointments he evolved a dynamo
for each elementary tone in the regis
ter About 200. dynamos were found
necessary. And then came the final OBJ
stacle, something that It required the
labor OF five years to overcome. II
was to provide a method of combining
a number Of different currents into
single composite current so that the al
ternating impulses OF one would not
nullify those of another
Finally, however, after fourteen years
of patient research, DR.. Cahill perfect

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured air cured and flue cured
The old and cheap way IS called air
cured; the later discovery and I'M
proved way is called fue cured.
In fiue curing the tobacco IS taken
from the fields and racked IN barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that

coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer

tobacco, grown IN the famous Pied

sweetening than tobacco grown IN

and has a wholesome, stimulating

cheers more than any other chewing
