thing to make the venture a success,
and they are sure 1t will be.
The Mutuals are not satisfied with
being the only indoor baseball court in
this vicinity, and they have already
consulted several managers in the
county as to the a~dvisability of form
ing a league. Nutley, the first team
approached, has expressed a willing
ness to enter and to play their home
games in the Town Hall auditorium.
The other managers approached are
considering the advisability of putting
teams in the league. In the meantime
the Mutuals will play games at Hill
side Park.
Two seasons ago an attempt was
made to give the Newark fans indoor
baseball. It undoubtedly would have
been a success If it had been continued
longer, as the start it enjoyed was cer-
tainly encouraging. The promoters OF
h present revival of the sport do not
expect to make any money out of 1t.
If they can pay expenses they will be
satisfied, feeling that In h near future
the game will be as popular here as in
the South and West. If the fans will
only go to a few of these games there
isn't any doubt In the world that they
will not stay away. The rough work
that mars other indoor winter sports
is entirely absent from this game.
The Spalding Guide gives the fol-
lowing brief history OF the start of the
sThe game was invented In Chicago
In 1897. Members Of the Farragut
Boat Club had assembled in the GYM
nasium hall on THANKSGIVING Day OF
that year and an old boxing glove was
carelessly thrown around the room.
One of the boys took UP a broom n
batted the glove back to the thrower.
when George w. Hancock suddenly ex-
claimed. Say. boys, let's play ball!"
Thereupon the huge wrestling mat was
hauled around to answer for a diamond
place. the broom-handle having been
broken off and used for the bat and
the unwieldy boxing glove taking the
and at It's conclusion MI. Hancock
gathered the members around him and
unfolded a plan which had occurred
to- hin, as the players were sliding
Il believe this affair can be worked
intosa regular game of baseball which
can be played indoors, and II you all
come down Saturday night I'll make
up some rules and have a ball and
bat which viii suit the purpose of the
sport and do nc damage to the sur
And so, on the night announced, two
teams were chosen, and Mr.. Hancock
read the rules he had made up to suit
the surroundings and presented to the
gaze OF the assembled members the
huge ball and small rubber-tipped bat
which have since been identified with
the game. The contest was one of the
funniest performances ever witnessed
and members and visitors went away
loud in their praises of Indoor base
ball. as the new sport was c~hristened.
From this beginning the game has
grown until 1t now reaches out into
all parts of the country. and thousands
upon thousands are entertained dur
ing the winter months either as ac-
tive participants or as enthusiastic
followers of the teams engaged In the
sport.

The East Orange and the Lawton
q~uintets were victorious in the Jr. o.. U.
A. M. competition matches rolled last
night on the Montgomery alleys. The
East Orange men took three straight
from the Nutley Ave, and the Lawtons,
not to be outdone, made a clean sweep
against the Prospects. Brokow, Of
East Orange, was high, with PIP.
Weingarth war the individual star of
the Eastern League games rolled last
night in Brooklyn between the Newark
and Brooklyn teams of that organiza-
ton. The proprietor Of the Tuxedo
alleys took four out of Ave games from
Johnny Nelson or the latter's home
alleys, losing the third game Of the
series by eleven pins. The o bril-
liant piece Of work, however, of all.
from a Newark standpoint. was the
cleanup made by the local team in the
fve-man match. BY this victory the
Newark team preserved its perfect
record in the standing of the five-man
teams and further increased its g
over the nearest competitor, New York,
| who are six games behind. The New
| arkers also took the two-man n the
three-man series, taking W out OF
three in the former series n making
It three straight in the three-man
match.
The Montgomery quintet Of pin
knights showed excellent form in the
| New Jersey National tournament games
rolled last night on the Tuxedo alleys,
hitting the timber for more than 900 in
both of the games. The All Rights
were the first victims Of the Mont
gomerys. Although they put up a game
fight, making the winner go the limit
by tallying 933, the "Montys" beat them
out by seventeen pins. The National
Turner's were less lucky, and were
beaten by more than 100 pins when the
Montgomerys chalked up 972. In the
final game the All Rights turned IN 96S,
and the best that the Turner's could
tally was a score OF Ss7. Richter was
high, with 20S.
The North Newarks won two games
from the Union and National Junior
teams of the Dixon tournament last
night, and the Unions took q game
from the National Junior FIVE in the
same competition. The North Newarks
were in good form, and Fautz, who
bowled for that team, did especially
fine work, tallying 217 in n of the
games.
