the claim is made that the circu-

by a wood turner named Murray
at Mansfield, England, about the
year 1920. The first saw is des-
cribed as having been about six
inches in diameter, and was un-

After War Horses

Phoenix is playing a part in
the big European war. Count
de Lestrange, head of the French
remount inspection commission.
has arrived in the capital city to
inspect approximately 1000
horses rounded up from all parts
of the valley for service in the
French army.
Most of the animals on t h e
scene are being held at $125.
Some are selling as low as $40,
but practically every owner is
asking the maximum of $125.
The horses for artillery service
must be fifteen hands one inch
high, while those for cavalry are
to be fifteen hands high, yet if
they are good and strong they
will be accepted if only fourteen
hands three inches high. The
artillery animals are to weigh be-
tween 115O and 1850 pounds and
the cavalry 1850.

Oldest Baseball Is
Insured for 81, 900

Veteran baseball fans, whose
memories carry them back to the
early days of the national game,
are discussing the recent report
from Pittsburg, Penn, that the
oldest baseball in existence has
been insured for 1000 against
loss by fire or burglary. This
sphere, which is covered by one
piece of horsehide sewed in the
center. is said to be So years old,
having made it's initial appear
ance in a game played between
the Eclipse club of Kingston, N.
Y, and the Hudson team of
Newburg, N. Y, June 20, 1862,
which was won by Kingston play
ers 49 to 18.
While this ball is undoubtedly
one of the old-time sphere, it is
not the Oldest by some years, if
the records regarding this de-
partment of baseball can be re-
lied upon. A baseball which
antedates the Pittsburg one by
five years is, or was until recent
ly, in the possession of Pm. Will
hite of Emporia, Kan. This
sphere was used in what is claim
ed to be the first championship
game ever played in this country.
1t figured in the contest between
the Fri Mountain club of Boston
and the Portland, Me-. team in a
game played Sept. 9, 1857.
Like the Pittsburg ball, it has
a one-piece cover and measures
10 inches In circumference. Inc
contes st in which this ball, now
preserved by coating of gold
leaf and suitably inscribed, was
used was played on the Boston
Commons and was won by Port
land, AZ to AZ. The match was
memorable in other respects
since it was the first game play
ed under the nine-inning rule and
the first in which the pitcher was
permitted to pitch instead of be-
ing forced to use the toss or un-
derhand throw.

they have almost no control over their
