ANCIENT GAME
SOMETHING OF ORIGIN OF THE
NATIONAL SPORT.
Baseball Annals Are Always Inter.
esting TO Fans--History and
Development.

Real baseball is over sixty-one
years old. But the origin of the ma
tional game" is more in dispute than
the etymology of the term "fan.
The veteran journalist, Henry Chad
wick, popularity known as the faith
err of baseball" who is English1born
contends that baseball, while an
American sport, had its origin in the
game played by the English school
boy called founders" 1.-THE basic
principle of both games" Mr. Chad
wick argues, sis the use of bat, a
ball and bases" But it is a short
bat and a soft ball, and the player,
on hitting the ball, endeavors TO
make a circuit-a round-of all the
bases-in our vocabulary, a. home
run. AS a clincher, Mr.. Chadwick
says that, when debating the ques-
ton with Albert G. Spalding, there
entered the room a devotee of sport
Andrew Peck, whose name, coupled
with that of his partner, Snyder,
was known to most American boys
of twenty years ago in connection
with a popular style of ice skates.
when did you begin to play base
ball?" inquired Mr.. Spalding.

"Why, FOUNDERS" said Mr..
Peck.
But to this day. Mr.. spalding,
proud Yankee to the core, is uncon-
vinced Undoubtedly the foreign
faint in baseball bothered him not a
little for time, but he disposed OF
1t to his satisfaction in the spring OF
1889, when he visited Liverpool, af-
ter a tour of the British colonies,
with the Chicago and All-American
baseball teams. Throughout the
trip English subjects had chided him
with the antecedent of the American
national game, so he Issued chal-

There's a decided change of tone
at Washington in regard to the Japs.
Complaints that treaty rights were
violated at San Francisco, because
Japanese children were Disseminated
against in the schools, received
prompt attention from the admins
tration, as becomes one friendly
power, Jealous of its honor in re-
spect to treaties with another. But
now the Japanese press has assumed
a bellicose attitude and querulous.y
complains that Japs are assaulted
by mobs in San Francisco, a city in
the throes of a labor riot. with lis
highest officials and police under in
dictment and chaos reigning In ali
departments of the municipal gov
eminent. At the same time. 1t Is
said, Japs are sneaking across our
borders by hundreds. Washington,
no doubt, grows tired of the pettish-
ness of the orientals, especially
since Americans and all foreigners
receive such scant recognition IN the
orient. The Japs have grown a
trifle cocky over their defeat of Rus
STA, and Americas prompt RESPONSE
to their complaints.

and a penholder" A high bail was
"fouled'-as the Yankees called It
but the referee declared it fair
hit, and as the batter made circuit
of the four boundary posts before
the ball was recovered, he scored
four runs. The next batsman re-
peated the trick, and there was a
total of eight runs to the credit of
the Englishmen. Then, Feeder
Spalding resorted to low balls close
to the batsman's body, and only three
more runs were made before the
eleven British champions were put
out, and the inning was over. These
last runs resulted from the failure
of an American to hit one of the
champions with the ball as the rules
permit.
In their half of the inning, the
Yankees were inclined at first to try
to Zine OUT the ball, and the re-
suits were disastrous. But soon they
got the hang of batting with one
hand, and scored eight runs before
the eleven men were retired. This
left them three runs behind.
The baseball game was an entirely
different story. Three Englishmen
struck out, and then the Americans
went to bat Thirty-fve men crossed
the plate, and still the side had not
been retired. Because of physical
exhaustion both teams were content
that the match be declared off. Thus
the first inning in the base ball game
was never finished; yet the score
stood 80 to in favor of the Ameri-
cans.-Success.

THE SITUATION.

Inc presidential situation Is shap-

mates" The Parker fiasco and the
last campaign has sickened Democ-
racy of that sort of politics. Repub-
lican possibilities apparently can not
she attracted away from such person
alities as Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes.
Indeed the signal success of the
governor of New York, following in
dividual lines. has seemingly blighted
all hope of a reactionary candidate.
Hughes has accomplished more
reform legislation than any other
man in the same length of time. as
serts the Chicago Tribune. His
method of outlining a policy, and
then uncompromisingly forcing the
legislative department and the peo-
pie to assume their due responsible
ity has met with unqualified success
without the use of executive patron
age, the use of a bad means to a
good end.
His method is in sharp contrast to
the spectacular. and often crude one
of Roosevelt, but undoubtedly much
of his success is due to the lRoose-
welt influence on public sentiment.
Roosevelt, Folk and Bryan have
awakened public morals to such a
state that their successors have but
to appeal to them to receive imme-
diate response
Hughes now purposes a depart

policies" and conservative man"

the situation. This is the greatest
possibility in the Fairbanks propa-
ganda.
This condition of public sentiment,
that invites the half-complimentary
accusations of the southern Demo-
cratic press that Roosevelt is stealing
Organs thunder" that compels
the unwilling cooperation of the
New York legislature in Hughes re-
forms: and that turns Ohio polite

smOte them a year ago, is not sec

ment will be the deciding factor in
the national campaign The result
of the national Republican conven-
ton will settle in whose favor that
sentiment will prevail.
With prosperity continuing. wilh
reforms undertaken in all directions
and the presidential policies popu-
lar everywhere, the next campaign
naturally should find its alignment
on the issue of indorsing or repud-
iatlng the administration. It will be
difficult for those who are accustom-
ed TO consider national politics from
their personal viewpoint to find a
satisfactory candidate to meet reac-
tionary requirements. Knox, of
Pennsylvania. may be chosen, as. at
least. conservative; but Knox is no
nonentity. and the compelling influ-
ence Of public opinion might set
Philander Knox on course caleu-
