A Logical Reply
Greatest of Games

The origin of baseball is lost in tho may labyrinths of prehistoric an tiquity. That it is older than the Bible there can be no doubt, for the Good Book starts with the words. Tn the big innings" A little further .on we are given some particulars, showing that Eve "stole first" Adam stole second, and the serpent slid home" Genesis vi, 4, reveals the astonishing fact that there were Giants in the earth in those days" Job alludes to the "chil- dren of base men," XXX, s, and In Isaiah xii, IS, you will find the words, He will surely violently turn and toss thee like ball into a large country.
 Nor did the interest in the game les sen with the advance of the centuries. "Catch and hold" said John Haywood. about 1565. Shakespeare hints at the game frequently. ITO what base uses we may return, Horatio," and "A hit, very palpable hit" are familiar quota tions from Hamlet. In Macbeth he says: "Fair is foul and foul Is fair" and in Richard III, "Pitchers have ears"
 Other famous authors of former days refer enthusiastically to baseball. Afraid to strilSe,'' says Pope; Delayed 10 strike" says Milton. Thomas Campbell. in sLochiePs Warning" uses the words With his back to the field" evidently referring to some famous pitcher of his time, and the Earl of Chesterfield tells of "a great rough diamond" But why multiply instances? The game of base ball always was. is now, and ever shall be, the greatest of games.
