Origin of Baseball.

Baseball probably grew out Of the old

Some have adduced evidence that 1t
came from the old New England game
of "one old cat" or two old cat"
which may be true. The old game OF
tipcat may also be related. 1t was
played by four. six or eight players.
each standing by a hole or base. One
Of the opposite party threw the cat to
a batsman. and every time 1t was hit
they had to run about the bases.
Probably FOUNDERS and tipcat had the
same ancestry. At any rate. baseball
belongs to the family. An E%nglishman
seeing a baseball game for the first
time might very properly say. This
is FOUNDERS made scientific" We took
the old game. made rules anC amended
1t until now 1t stands forth as the ma

that the firm had begun the manufac-

Cancelled. but several pieces had been
finished for show. He got out those

Iowa City, May 7.-Fri0tion has
again developed in the University of
Iowa athletic system following a SER
les of misunderstanding regarding
eligibility and the subsequent loss OF
the dual meet to Minnesota by a mar
row margin. Tallman, the Splinter, is
said to have threatened to leave the
squad after today's meet against
Northwestern, one athlete has accused
the board in control of athletics Of
having useless red tape" and there
is an almost general complaint against
the equipment of the track men. A
specific instance is cited by the COM
p%lainants in the case of Merle Alder
man, who did not receive a pair of
shoes until a week before the Mime
t meet.
The board is confronted by the ex-
pense constantly and this is supposed
to be the defense to the inferior equip
ment, the few men taken to Minnesota
and such similar complaints. AS to the
red tape it is presumed that the
board would state that no more for
malities are gone thru with than is
necessary, because of the rules and
regulations passed by the Missouri
valley and Chicago conferences.
+ Track Coach Sphinx" Delaney is
not. pleased with the situation. The
uncertainty as to the membership OF
his eligibility club has put a load on
his shoulders which has been hard for
one man to carry in turning u q Win
ming rack team. He has said nothing
but his friends have. He is still hop
ing to have a good team at h Mis-
souri, Valley and conference meets.
In the baseball amp there has been
less trouble. Quietly Coach Ted
Greene has kept the men practicing
and tho there were plenty of murmurs
on the Captain Burrell cas- there is
less trouble among the ball tossers
than in the track squad.
