it grew out of the old English game of srounders' There is a record that at Harvard, as far back as 1880. among the college sports, ball games occupied leading position.
 Baseball history began to be writ ten in 1S42, when New York gentle men were won't to congregate on lot at Twenty-sixth Street and Fourth Avenue, the site of the present Madi- son Square Garden, and play ball as an exercise.
 In 1S45 they formed the Knicker- l booker Club, and a set of rules were drafted, which were very crude as compared with those that are in vo- que today. The first match game was played June 19, 1S4G, between the knickerbocker and the New York clubs, on the Elysian Fields at Hobo ken, N. J. At that time the game was won by the club first scoring tWenty-one runs in even innings. The New 1orks won in four innings. The Knickerbockers was an organized baseball club until 1882 The Olympic Club was first organized in Philadel- phia in 1853. Boston's first club was also named Olympic. organized in 1854.
 "On January 22, 1857, the first con vention of clubs was held in New York City and a new code of rules adopted. Twenty-Five clubs of New York and Brooklyn met and organiz- ed the National Association of Base ball Players March 19, 1858.
 "The first contest for championship honors was had in 1858, the Knicker- booker, Eagle, Gotham and Empire clubs taking part In 1859, picked hines from Brooklyn and New York played three games for the champion ship, New York winning the first and third games by 22 to IS and 29 to IS, respectively; Brooklyn getting the second, 29 to 8.
 The first convention of delegates from professional clubs was held in Cleveland, Ohio, March 17, 1871. The National League was formed in 1876.
 "The greatest number of runs SCOT ed in game of nine innings was by the Niagaras of Buffalo, when they beat the Columbias of Lockport 2o9 to 10, June 8, 1860.
 The Athletics of Philadelphia won from the Williamsports by 1O1 to s. i'll the morning, and then played the Alerts of Danville, Pa, 162 to II. in the afternoon.
 The Forrest Citys, of Cleveland on May 17, 1870. beat the Atlantics of that city 132 to 1, in five innings. making 101 base hits, with a total of 1S0.
 "The largest scores by professi ,nal clubs were made in Philadelphia July D, 1869. when the Atlantics of Brook lyn won from the Athletics by 51 to 48.
 "The most one-sied contest between first-class clubs was that between the Mutuals of New York and the Chica- EOS, June IA, 1874, the Mutuals win ming by 3S to 1. The Chicagos made only two base hits.
 "The greatest number of home runs in game belongs to the Athletics of Philadelphia, September 30, 1863; they scored 25 against the National of Jersey City.
 Harry Wright, of the Cincinnatis. made seven home huns on June P, 1867, against the Holt Club of New port Ky, the largest number scored one player in a game.

MURDERER IS GIVEN
LONG PRISON TERM
Edward p. Cochrane Sentenced to 35
Years for Shooting Of John
Hassman in Davenport

EilEFEt gF
Edward P. Cochrane was sentenced
Saturday to 35 years in FIT. Madison
penitentiary by Judge Barker in the
district court at Clinton. When Coch-
rane heard the sentence ne appeared
to be greatly relieved. Both he and
his mother had evidently expected a
life sentence.
Replying to a motion for new trial
the court ruled that Cochrane had
been given a fair trial; that the jury
had been locked up and had not been
approached in any manner, and that
the verdict was a just one.
Cochrane, it will be recalled, shot
John Hassman several months ago in
Davenport.

Some time last summer either in
June or July-the young fellow had
this picture taken in the studio above
the Thomas drug store. Seventeenth
street and Second avenue. Aside
from that fact, local police have
learned nothing Of his identity. He
is scarcely out Of his teens, as the
picture shows. While he was walk
ing along the tracks of the NJ. & o.
railroad near Cahokia, H., Friday
evening he was struck by a train and
killed. His lifeless body lies in the
morgue at East st. Louis. A letter
bearing the name Sam Montgomery
and his picture were found in his
pocket Just previous to the fatal &C
cident he told a friend that he lived
in Rock Island and had been away
from home for four days. The police
authorities state that he very much
resembles a young fellow that was
held in the station over night this
summer.
