c. A. Wagner has copy Of a
paper from his home town in Ian
sing, lathe Mirror-containing an
account Of a ball game that was play
ed there in 1867. 1t is interesting to
read the article and contrast 1t with

was tossed by the pitcher instead Of
being pitched as today. Forty or more
years ago the intricate curves that
pitchers throw in these days Of ad-
vanced baseball were unheard Of.
