The Origin .0f the Game of Baseball

town, N. Y, in 1899 Abner Doubleday subsequently graduated from West Point and entered the regular army, where, as captain of artillery, he sighted the first gun fired on the Union side Cat Fort Sumter) in the civil war. Later still, as major-genera1, he was in con- mand of the Union army at the close of the first days fight in the battle af Get tysburg, and he died full of honors at Mendham, N. J., in 1893.
 Tn the days when Abner Doubleday attended school in Cooperstown, 1t was a common thing for two dozen or more of school boys to join in a game of ball. Doubtless, as in my later experience, collisions between players in attempting to catch the batted ball were frequent, and injury due to this cause or to the practice of putting out the runner by hitting him with the ball, often oc- cured.
 q can well understand how the orderly mind of the embroyo West Pointer would devise a scheme for limiting the contest ants on each side and alotting them to field positions, each with certain amount of territory; also substituting the existing method of putting out the base runner for the old one of plugging him with the ball.
 True it appears from the statement that Doubleday provided for Il men on a side, instead of nine, stationing the two extra men between first and second, and second and third bases, but this is a minor detail, and, indeed, have played, and doubtless other old players have repeatedly with Il on a side, placed al- most identically in the manner indicated by Doubleday's diagram although it is true that we so played after the num- Der on each side had been fixed at nine, simply to admit to the game an addi-

Philadelphia, March 2s.-Baseball is orig inal with America, according to commit tee of old-tirners, consisting of A. c. Mills, Morgan G. Burkley. N. D. Young. Alfred J. Reach and George Wright. to whom the matter. was referred when the question arose through a controversy between A. c; Spalding and Henry Chadwick. The latter, who is the oldest writer of base ball in the country, contended that the American game was developed from the old English game of Founders while MT. spalding claimed that baseball origi- rated here in America.
 Three of the members of the committee to which the matter was referred were eX-presldentss of the National League of Baseball Clubs. MT. Burkeley was the first president. MT. Mills the third and EIr. Young the fourth, and also the first secretary M4 Mills voiced the sentiment of the majority of the committee in an article which covered the ground very thoroughly.
 MT. Mills says: My belief had been that our national game of baseball originated with the Knickerbocker club, organized in New York in 1915, which club published certain elementary rules , in that year; but, in the interesting and pertinent testimony for which we are
 indebted to A. G. Spalding, appears Q circumstantial statement by a reputable gentleman, according to which the first known diagram of the diamond, =indi- eating positions for the players was drawn by Abner Doubleday in Coopers-
