EARLY BASEBALL TEAMS.

ouCCtSs.
Baseball teams existed as early as
ls45, but the first league was formed
in 1857, when the National association
of Baseball Players was organized.
This, as the title implies. was an or.
ganization of players-in fact. anna
teur players. They did not remain
true amateurs for long, however, and
iu 1871 baseball was placed squarely
on a professional basis, when there
came into existence the National Asso-
citation OF Professional Baseball PLAY.
ers. II will be noted that the players
ers still governed the sport, and they
continued to do so until 1876. 1t was
in this period that there grew up the
great abuses which menaced the very
life of baseball. namely, gambling and
the buying and selling of games. In
1876 the players were deposed from
the government Of professional base
ball. and they have never since con.
trolled the game

From Thursdays Daily.
The following from the Telluride
Journal will be of interest to Du-
range fans.
In the summary of the ball game
between Ogden and Telluride played
Saturday at Ogden when the score
was 8 to 2, the Telluride's were play
ing mighty good ball. their only trou-
bic being their inability to hit Muir
ply, the Ogden pitcher, safely. The
game was called, however, in the sixth
inning, on account of a storm. At
that time Telluride had sixteen put
outs to her credit and Ogden had
only eighteen. Buckles and Ward are
the only players who brought in runs
and every Telluride man except Stan
ley had been to bat three times. Stan
ley and Hurley both pitched. Murphy
struck out six men, and Telluride
pitchers none. Miller got two-bag-
ger but did not bring in a run. Tel
uride doubled, F'riel to Staley to
Buckles.
Looking the game over from re
corded points Telluride had chance
to pick up some had the game gone
the full nine innings, but with the
streak Of hitting Ogden had. the
chances were against them winning
However, when you figure out that
Ogden had been playing all season to
sether and Telluride played theiT
1rst game together, you can account
for the uneven score.
At Salt Lake Sunday the boys did
better, the score being to 5. which
is anybody's game until finished.

A TRUE AMERICAN TYPE.
Outing.

outlHR.
Tennessee has been termed a
mother of states, and as the founder
of the first American colony beyond
the mountains, no one of the deter
mined frontier fighters who did vail
ent service there deserves so much
as Gen. James Robertson to be called
the Father of Tennessee.
Robertson's settlements were small.
his followers were rude, rough men.
but the future of those little colonies
was big with destiny, and from the
loins of his pioneers has descended a
race of men who. measured by achieve
ment, are perhaps inferior to none
that ever trod the earth. The deeds
OF the leader himself were enacted
in an obscure corner of the world, but
his heroism was not less than that of
other men whose face is brighter be-
cause the theater of their action was
more In the gaze of the world. His
character was of the grim, austere
type of the Scotch Coventers, from
whom he sprung. Accepting for his
guidance in life the gloomy tenets of
pure Calvinism, and applying its pitt
less logic to all life's affairs, he did his
duty as it was given him to see with
fidelity.

TELEGRAPH NEWS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Building In
spector and Commissioner Shoemaker
ir charge of the erection OF the Penn
sylvania state capitol at Harrisburg,
announces that he will make a full
confession regarding the 100000
graft in building and furnishing the
capitol Mr. Shoemaker says he was
ordered to cover up a shortage in the
state treasury brought about by the
manipulation of a former United
States senator. who Is now dead, and
another prominent politician still liv-
ing Shoemaker says his confession
will send the latter to the penitentiary.
The confession of Mr.. Shoemaker
has caused a sensation in political
circles. Although he did not men
tion the name OF the dead senator,
inference is that 1t is Quay. While
Shoemaker connects only one other
with the dead senator 1t is believed
great many will be implicated.
