players would necessarily be rather old. the Noisy Miners ranging in age from 5s to 62. Moreover, if the rules of '76 govern the games, it IS doubtful if the younger fans would recognize the pastime as baseball.
 In 1878 the National League had just been launched, and baseball was entering the era of commercia1isTn that would soon concentrate most of the crack players in the big cities. Before that, however, many small cities and towns had hines that were able to play the game with the crack organizations of the great cities. Be- sides the Noisy Nine of Taylorsvil1e, the famous clubs of 1876 included the Troy Haylnakers, the Rockford, Ill.,, Forest Citys, the Fort Wayne, Ind, Kekionigas, the London, Ont, Ath- letics, the Guelph, Ont, Maple Leafs. the Ogdensburg, N. F., Pastimes, and the Lynn, Mass, Live Oaks This by no means exhausts the list, for there were good clubs scattered all over the United States and Canada, and each big city had 8 number of hines, be- tween whom there was a bitter rivalry.
 It was in the early seventies that baseball began to assume it's present form. The overland pitching rules were revised at this period, and then commenced the science of twirling as it is known to-day. Before that the function of the heavier was 10 plCch in such a manner that the batter could hit the ball, which accounts for the tremendous scores of those days. The batter would stroll to the plates re- marking, Please send one over a lit tie above the knee, and not very fast '' Whereupon the pitcher would attempt to do so, and if he failed v ball was called on him for his wildness. At about the same time a revolutionary rule was adopted forcing base runners to actually touch the bags, instead of merely running near them.

They all have wonderful voices especially Bert La Mont. Especially pleasing to the children today are the Charles Twins, boy and girl who offer one of the daintiest acts in vaudeville both are finished artists and put their ma teria1 over to perfection. Marie Dorr in limitations is a real surprise her portrayals of different characters, aI- though of the burlesque order never theless is a work of art.

as the scene of that game is a bit of information that has vanished in the nists of antfquaity- Garvin's feat was all the more wonderful because in those day@it was the year of the organization of the National League baseball was just beginning to develop players of skill and science. and big scores were still the rule. Such scores as 1O6-21, 113-26, 90-48 and 62- 37 were by no means uncommon.
 That year of 1876 was remarkable for other developments in baseball, besides the playing of the first no-h1t pastime and the inaugural of the Ma tonaI League. It was during that an mum that Arthur Cummings originat- ed the curve-a delivery that had been called impossible by many high brows. Cummings twirled for the Brooklyn Stars, and used the under hand delivery that was universal at this period of the game. The honor of originating the bender has been claimed for Terry Larkin and Bobby Matthews, but Cummings is generally acknowledged as the pioneer.
 The first drop ball was probably pitched by Eddie Kent, of the Hud- son, N. r., club, in 1879, but that de- livery was perfected by Tim Keefe of New York and Burlington of Boston. The latter, by the way, was the first great southpaw in the history of the game, and it was his puzz1ing drop ball which was largely responsible for Boston's pennant-winning race in 1883

FIRST NO-HIT GAME WAS
 PLAYED 37 YEARS AGO

Ionia. Mich, isn't much of a city, as cities go. It is just an average county seat town, with an asylum for insane criminals as an added attrac- lion. Nevertheless, Ionia has one claim to immortality, for the first no hit game in the history of baseball was played in it's midst. That mo- mentous contest was staged thirty seven years ago Sunday, August IT, 1876, and Jim Garvin was the twirler whose name will go ratt1ing ollety cIatter down the corridors of time as the perpetrator of that feat.
 The contending teams that day were the St Louis Reds and the Cass Club of Detroit, and Garvin was in the box for the Mound City team. Just why the big city clubs picked Ionia

EXPECT CROWD ON : SUCCESS TOMORROW
Convict Ship Attracts Many Out of Town ViSitOrS-Arrange-
 ment for Inspection

Several thousand BridgeporteFs are expected aboard the famous old con- vict ship, Success, tomorrow. The op- =ortunity given residents of this vii cinity to visit the only surviving mem Der of the fleet of British convict ships that thrived during the first of the 18th century has been seized by SO many that Captain D. H. Smith, the commander, was forced to increase his staff of attendants and lecturers, and he has re-arranged his sailing route 50 as to remain several days longer in this city than he had orig inally planned
 The Success will be open tomorrow, as on week days, from 10 a. to 10 p. m- A visit to the ship is highly in structive, for it brings wildly to the mind of the person travelling about its ancient quarters the facts of the evo- 1ution of the great social problem of dealing with infroctions of the law
 The Success is moored to the Stee- plechase wharf, at the lower bridge, Stratford avenue All trolley cars con meet with the ship, and she is easily accessible from the railroad station. Many out of town folks are included In the daily visitors.

SAYS WlFE'S LIFE SHOULD
BE A SERMON TO HUSBAND

In a sermon on "A Perfect Wife, !"
the Rev. DR.. George Walton King,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
Church, yesterday delivered a severe
rebuke to women of the present day
who devote their time to frivolous
pursuits, neglecting their home duties,
and who, unmindful of the tremen-
dous influence for good or bad exert
ed by wife within the home, lead
unchristian lives, thus belittling, IN
the eyes of their husbands and chill
dren, those Christian principles which
they should practise.
The sermon was aimed against
those women who are given to ex-
tremes of every kind. who are car
ried away by fashions and who are
too responsive to society demands.
The Rev. DIR. King deplored the fact
that many women engage in such
activities as tend to. make them less
womanly, less good and faithful
wives" He. exhorts these women to
adhere to Christian principles and to
lead Christian life.
According to DR.. King, the great
est need sof the age is the revival of
religion in the home" And the
wife, he says, must be the evangel-
list who will accomplish this revival.
In closing DR.. King said of a wife
that her life should be sermon to
her husband which should win him
over to Christianity"
