THEN
and

Sixty-eight years ago today
the 1iFst match game of baseball
; on record was played. The game
was between the Knickerbocker
and New York Baseball clubs in
the Elysian Fields at Hoboken,
n. ]. The players were lnem-
bers Of the leading New York
families, and engaged in the
sport as q pastime. A bevy of
; town bellies in the group OF
spectators made the occasion
seem like social function. The
: field was marked off into the
baseball diamond so familiar to-
day. None of the players wore
gloves, masks, or protectors. It
was the custom for the batter to
say where he Wantei the ball
) thrown. The pitcher, or "giy-
er" as he was then called, de-
liyered 1t with an underhand
toss, according to the rules Of
the game. 1t was thought that
the pitcher had an unfair adj
vantage over the batter when he
threw the ball overland, hence
) the rule. The catcher stood at
) safe distance behind the batter
) ready to catch the. ball on the
bound. The rules dictated that
If he caught the third strike on
the first bound the batter was
out; otherwise he must throw to
first base to put him out. Like
wise, the fielders, or SCOUTS"
were permitted to catch hits on
the first bound. Three outs re-
tired the side. The team that
} first scored 81 runs, or aces"
regardless of the number of In
nings played. was accounted the
) winner. After the game, the
players resorted to one of the IA
nous taverns OF the day where
the victors had dinner at the
expense.o Of the yanquished.

Best Treatment for

plexion troubles. If the skin be color
less, sallow, muddy. over-red, if it be
rough. chapped. blotchy of pimply
there's nothing that will so surely
overcome the condition as ordinary
mercoized wax. The wax literally
takes off a bad complexion-absorbs
the dead and near dead particles of
surface skin. so gently. gradually, you
experience no inconvenience at all. A
new complexion is then in evidence,
one so clear. spotless. delicately soft
and beautiful you look many years
younger. One ounce Of this wax. pro-
durable at any drug store, will rejuv-
enate even the worst complexion. 1t is
smeared on lick cold cream before re-
firing and removed mornings with
warm water. The mercol;zed wax
habit is healthier and more econom-
icaI one than the cosmetic habit.
If the skin be wrinkled or creased.
battle it daily in solution made by
dissolv;ng an ounce of powdered saxo-
lite in half pint witch hazel. This
acts Immediately. affecting even the

Special to Times Republican.
Mount Pleasant, Jan. PA small
fortune of over $500 has been lying idle
in the vaults of Henry county for over
fifteen years. patiently awaiting a
claimant. In 1895, when the estate OF
the late Mr.. Heatherington was settled
up it was found that the sum of s54o.6'
had been bequeat2ed to the unknown
heirs Of Hanna Winters Original no.
tees were published in all the local
papers acquainting the unknown heirs
of the fact that this sum Of money had
been left them. Every effort was made
to locate them. but no one could be
found who had the temerity TO claim
the beCEest According to law. if at
the erd OF six months the money is not
claimed the county clerk must turn
ii over TO the county treasurer to be
held in trust. This was done, and the
money has laid in the vault for over
fifteen years and has not been touched
since. TIE very fact of its existence
had almost been forgotten. being only
recalled when an outgoing treasurer IL
nally balanced and checked up his
books. Some time ago. man from
Kansas City, wrote stating that he
had discovered the unknown heirs. At
that time there was some little techni-
cality involved and the matter was
dropped. It has, however. been taken
up again and a local attorney has filed
petition asking that the money be
turned over TO the unknown heirs. who
Rave at last made themselves known.
Attic the money has been in the pos
session Of the county all this time Il
