BALL PLAYERS
HAD GAME REQUIRING HIGH
DEGREE OF SKILL.
Stars Of the First Magnitude in the
Big Leagues Today Would Have
Found Nothing Easy About
Those Contests.

No. the first sams HbaI1 ever played
on the American Continent did not take
place the first time the home tea
walloped the visiting "ginks" way
back in the last century. That game
seems to have been played several
centuries ago.
1t was an Aztec game and it was
played somewhere out on the mesas
OF Mexico. long before the Spaniards
arrived in their search for gild.
The sort OF ball that the Aztecs
played was very popular with the pub
lie. just as the big league draws at.
tention today. They had no regular
league balls" at 1925 each. but used
one OF rubber or elastic resin. and in
another sort OF contest used those
made OF gold.
The ancient Aztec game was called
totoloque and was played In a court
known as a tlachco, not SO large as
the present day diamond. The players
were clothed only in a maxtlati or
girdle around the loins.
There were pitchers, but o catch
ers. and the folders were few. When
pitched the ball was struck by an
upward movement OF the thigh or ell
whether high or low. After being
struck the sphere. in order to count,
had to pass through a hole I'm one OF
sewers tone disks hanging just In
front OF the wall Of the court. The
feat Of bunting hat ball with the
thigh and sending it through one OF
those holes required a great deal Of
skill, as might be imagined. Agility
was one OF the prime requisites Of an
Aztec big Lacquer. Any player touch
ing the ball with the hard lost a
point.
The e~moluments of the ga me were
quite as interesting from a pecuniary
standpoint as they are today. Things
or great value were usually given to
the winners. And not only the prize.
victors were often presented with
jewels, fine cotton stuffs. feather work
or plumes Of great value.
The game with the gold balls was a
Of Montezuma. It is said that
when Cortez staged his little hos
torlcal skit known as the Conquest
of Mexico and took Mortezuma pris-
oner the royal captive spent a great
deal of his time In durance PLAYING
the game with gold balls. He often
challenged the Spanish general to a
contest.
These yellow pills" were thrown
at targets of the same precious metal
History shows thaT Nontezuma had
the markings OF a pitcher who might
been in fast company had he
delayed the date Of his birth a few
centuries. He could lean them against
home plate with gnerring regular
ity. The %Spaniards never could learn
TO play ball any way, and Cortez was
ore two three with the first great
american pitcher, SO he lost fire.
