It is said that two archaeologists, Profs Winwle. of Berlin and Hogarth, Of London. have dug up in Northern Syria tablets or slabs. that show a game similar to baseball existed in 1900 B. C.. and that the catcher wore a perforated mask made of dried shell of the calabash, or native gourd The race that played this game was called the Hittites. This must have. been before Jim Mcclure and Cy Young broke into the game.

 Americans Hold Record
Bisbee daily review., 1912-01-20
By John II. Clayton)


 That the American team will again win the Olympic games is little doubted by the leading critics of the east and west. The record of the Tan kees in those great international simes since they started in 1896 has been a most remarkable proof that in ali thing athletic the Americans must be considered as the leaders of the world
 Since 1896 when the first modern Olympic games were held at Athens the Americans have been the easy winners of the events. and in most of the competitions they have won more events than all other competi- tors combined In 1896 they won nine out of the fourteen events. Tn 1900 at Paris they took seventeen out of twenty-three. Tn St. Louis in 190i. on their home heath. they were the winners in tWenty-four out of twenty six events When the games were again at Athens in 1906 they won only eleven out of twenty three events, but still had enough points to win the games. When the games came 10 London in ] sos the Englisnmen were considered to hnve the best chance they ever had to win. ard yet the Yankees took fifteen out of twenty-seyen events.
 There are tvCr;y five iutN.Cuai events and several team events for the 1912 Olympiad. In most Of the contests the Americans again have the best chances to take first place again. It is possible that new re- cord will be made in several events However. the distances and times which have been hung up for Olym- pic records in almost every event are world marks or close to it, and the man who betters the time or distance in any will be travelling
 The Events
 The events are the 100. 200. 900 500, l500, 5000, and 10000 meter runs the Marathon race is 40.ZG0 meters or about 9 miles: the 110 meter high hurdles; the 1000 meter walk: run. ming high jump running broad jump; standing high jump: standing broad jump; hop step and jump; pole vault throwing the javeln. with jaTelin held in middle, best hand; throwing javelin, right and left hands; throwing discus. best hand; throwing discus right and Eeft hands; putting the weight. best hand; putting the weight right and left lands: throwing the hammer; the Pentathlon. comprising the running broad jump. throwing jav- elin. 200 meters, throwing the discus I.5O0 meters; the Decathlon, cOmpris ing the 100 meters, running broad jump. putting the weight, running high jump, 400 meters. no meter hurdles. throwing discuss. pole vault throwing javelin aad 15o0 meters.
 There will also be team races, tug of-war. cross country 1ce. Aside from these track and field events there will be a large number of spec ial events, to include cycling; fenc ing: wrestling; football Association gymnastics; horseback riding; lawn tennis; a modern pentathlon, includ ing duck shooting, swiming, fencing

President Dr. Carson will abandon his large interests of baseball, and will hereafter give all his time to the Central league.
