Coolest June On Record.

WASHINGTON, July /. The
weather bureau announced that the
month just closed was the coolest
June on record in Washington, ID. c.,
in the last IS years, and that the
same is probably true of New Eng
land, the middle Atlantic states and
the oliver lake regions. In other
parts of the United States the tenn
peratures were also lower than
usual The bureaus official state
ment says in explanation:
GAS in previous cold Junes, the
distribution of atmospheric pressure

A shaft was sunk 900 feet. and an
ore body was struck which, when
sent to the Douglass mill at Dayton,
netted over $50 ton. Then two fac
lions began to war over the posses

blew up the shaft with dynamite, and
Gould disappeared with woman and
was charged with embeZZling the
funds. The shaft was caved in by
the dynamite and the mine got into
litigation and dragged through the
courts for years.

organization be formed. The scheme
was taken up Immediately, and il
June OF that year the first baseball
team was duly organized and PLAYED
together all season against the bes
picked teams they could find to OBJ
pose them. They took the name OF
knlckerbockers and under its le-
gend the first attempt was made to
place baseball on an organized foot.
ing.
In the following year, 1916, a
team calling itself the New Yorks
was put in the field and it played
the first regular scheduled game on
record between two organized clubs.
The contest took place June 10, and,
as 1t was extensively noticed in the
papers of that time, huge crowd
was in attendance. The playing
rules were, of course, crude, the prin-
cipal one being that the club first
making twenty-one aces, now known
as runs. was the winner.
In this first contest the New Yorks
surprised the Knickerbockers by de-
feating them in four innings by 23
to /. 1t may be of interest to know
that the uniforms of the Knicker-
bockers in those days consisted of
blue full-length trousers, white
flannel shirts and straw hat. In
1853 mohair hat and patent
leather belt were added to the uni
form, which remained the same until
the club dissolved in 1882
The rules, as adopted by the
Knickerbockers, were:
Section 1. The bases shall be from
home" to second base, AZ PAGES;
from first to third base, AZ PAGES,
equidistant.
Sec. 2. The game to consist of 81
counts or aces, but at the conclusion
an equal number of hands must be
played
Sec. 3. The ball must be pitched
not thrown, for the bat
Sec. 4. A ball knocked outside the
range of first or third base is foul.
Sec. 5. Three balls being struck
at and missed, and the last one
caught, is hand out; if not caught
is considered fair and the striker
bound to run.
Sec. 6. A ball being struck or
tipped and caught on the fly or on
the first bound is a hand out.
Sec. Z. A player, running the bas-
es, shall be out if the ball is in the
hands of an adversary on the bases,
or the runner is touched by it before
he makes his base-it being under
stood, however, that in no instance
is ball to be thrown at him.
Sec. 8. If two hands are already
out, a player running home at the
time ball is struck cannot make an
ace if the striker is caught out
Sec. 8. Three hands out, all out
Sec. TO- Players must take their
strikes in regular turn.
Sec. II. No ace or base can be
made on a foul strike.
Sec. 70. A runner cannot be put
out in making one base when balk
is made by the pitcher.
Sec. 13. But one base allowed
when the ball bounds out of the field
when struck.
These were the rules that guided
baseball from 1916 to 1857, when
the first convention of baseball clubs
was held, and a regular alliance was
formed for the guidance of the game
for all future times.
