AS the inquisitive kid asked after he
had been spanked soundly when he in
quired who started this darn thing or
lickings, many people have asked TO
know who started the baseball game
of the present day, known from coast
to coast, and from gulf to Greenland,
as the American national game One
Thomas H. Fraser. writing in Sports
Afield, has come forward with time
ly bit of Information regarding this
much mOoted point.
Thomas Fraser's compendium Of in
formation as it appeared in the periodl-
cal reads:
Although the origin and evolution OF
outdoor sports and pastimes may be a
subject of Indifference to many Of those
who play in the popular games of to-
day. nearly all such diversions have a
really interesting history; and the fact
that certain Of these have, in the past,
been the subjects of legislation, either
encouraging or prohibitive, and nave
been the diversion of kings, courtiers
and aristOcrats, as we'll as Of the hum
bier citizen and peasant, adds certai n
dignity and interest to such games as
they are played today. Ball games, in
varied form, seem to have employed
the sportive inclinations of ancient
times as much as such games, under
scientific regulations, employ the sur
plus Of modern energy. and the manip-
ulation of the willy and erratic sphere
seems to have been as fashionable and
fascinating then as now.
Had we no other source of apprecia-
tive knowledge, we may still learn from
history that, for cultivating graceful
motion, agility and strength. as well as
for promoting general health of body

The Origin of Baseball

and cheerfulness of mind, ball playing
Is one of the best gymnastic exercises
Ancient physicians were in the habit or
prescribing a course of balls 10 their
patients where most modern doctors
would likely prescribe pills, and in this
point at least the ancient practice hight
be copied with advantage The Greeks
erected a statue to Aristonius for his
skill in playing ball. But as TO the
form of game in which he exceled, his
tory is silent. One game of the an
clients was to throw the ball high in
the air and strive to see who should
catch it. This perhaps is the most
primitive of all ball games mentioned
in history, and ii may easily be deter
mined why it did not survive. Bat TO
enumerate and describe all such games,
together with a review Of their his
tory and progress, would require VOL
ume in itself Let us. therefore, pass
to brief notice of the probable origin
of the few leading games that have
the beneficial enjoyment and recrea-
ton of the present day
This game is founded on the old Eng
lish game of FOUNDERS, and for over a
century has been known in America,
and under present scientific regulations
is here recognized as the national game
Many innovations have been made with
in the last two or three decades; but,
although il lacks much Of the old tu-
multuous Joy and wide freedom, and,
like many other good institutions, has
been touched by commercialism, ii still
retains sufficient of the old formula to
awaken widespread enthusiasm wher-
ever played.

TRACK GAMBLERS
GET A HARD
BLOW
I'd. Meck, Picked to Win,
Throwns His Backers at
the Races Friday.

Ed Keck gave the gamblers at the
Juarez track a hard blow Friday when
he failed to run in the money after be-
ing played as strong favorite. Keck
looked fit when he went to the post
and was doped to have all the class of
the race. But the distance was too
great for the Keck horse and he could
not even get in the money This was
but one of a series of reversed form
races Friday. Had Garner not piloted
Lady Esther as q winner in the sixth
race, the boys would have had to walk
home But Lady Esther, strongly play
ed, ran away from the field and cashed
in the talents meal ticket in the final
race of the day.
JOlter looked to win the second race
but went to the post so nervous that
he threw his boy while waiting for the
barrier. Small, who was riding Jolter,
was not hurt by the fall but his horse
could not get away in position and fin
ished eighth in field of 10 horses.
Mondan made a pretty winning on
Camera in the fifth race, taking the
purse from Luke Hates, Ed Keck and
Mary Genevieve Each of these horses
received some play but Ed Keck was 4
hot tip and played as such.

run and the nominations for the event
as announced by Lyman H. Davis

TALKS ON GOLF
FAULTS IN DRIVING.
BY ID. 5. Live.


The worst fault the majority of Ell
Paso players have in driving is falling
back Immediately after striking the
ball This is caused by trying to hit
too hard, and the want of control of
the swing. They give one the impress
sion Of There's the hole and here goes
you getting there in one shot-the
drive" Then they slash away, some
en- with either a slick or a pull away
off into the rough.
The habit we players have drifted in
to Of constantly playing matches when
they first commence the game, Joined TO
an ever present desire to always out
drive the other fellow, has gone a great
way toward helping to win their game.
Had they gone out and given some Seri-
Gus attention to practicing, with view
of acquiring good form, instead of play
ing round after round with a friend.
each one pressing at every tee shot TO
try and outdistance the other, great
Improvement would have shown itself.
This practice should be under the eye
of a professional. so as TO acquire
good. free, easy style. yet with a de-
termined stroke instead of the loose,
slashing style one sees so much of here.
Too much Importance is really at
tached to the drive. One sees everyone
slashing away trying to drive $50 yards
straight away, instead of devoting more
attention TO the cultivation of neat
and attractive method Of diSpatchiny
the ball. Our Players should try and
cultivate an easier. more self contained
style which. when once achieved. will
1ive far moro consistent rpSllltS and
the length Of their drives will not suf-
fer. but. if anything will be improved,
while their direction will, as l have
. said. be far better, thus making the
game easier.
