CRICKET. BASEBALL,
were EARLY RIVALS
Our DaddieS II Years Ago
Were Experts at the
Old Game
LOST POPULARITY
TWENTY YEARS AGO

Nowadays the American is inclined
to jeer at the British game of cricket,
while the Englishman dismisses base
ball as merely "elorihed FOUNDERS"
There was a time, however. when
cricket was as popular on this side
OF the Atlantic as in Great Britain,
and when a cricket contest would at
tract a much bigger crowd than a
baseball game. This is. in way, the
birthday OF cricket as an American
pastime, as IL was on October 27 1888,
that the first cricket match for money
was played in America. The cricket
teams of New York and Brooklyn op-
posed each other on the field OF the
latter club. and played for S4OO a SIDE.
At that period the game of round
ers was popular, and already the
snort was beginning to develop into
the "glorifed FOUNDERS" now known as
baseball. In Philadelphia town ball
was played by the Olympic Club the
hrst team of its kind in America. In
New York and New England distinct
i've games somewhat resembling base
ball were in process of birth, and IN
1916 baseball came into being. Even
before that Major General Abner
Doubleday had originated a game at
Cooperstown. n Y. which was AFTER
ward called Base Ball"
Up to half a century ago, however
baseball had but a small following
among adults. and it was usually
played by youngsters, by whom 1t was
called 1.-TWO Old Cat" Three Old
Cat" and Town Ball" In the mean
time cricket fiourished and had a
large following of fans all over the
United States and Canada. An en-
cvclopedia published in 1859 did moi
mention baseball, while IL describes
cricket as "the favorite outdoor game
of Americans, both of town and coun
try"
Professionalism fiourished in crick
ct long before it was thought of II
baseball. Most of the early stars o
the diamond we're also cricketers. II
1874. when the Boston and Athletic
clubs toured England and Ireland
they played cricket as well as base
ball. They defeated the famous
Marylebone Club, the Shefhelds, tn
Manchesters. and the All-Irelands II
Dublin, winning all their contest
except one. which was drawn. Nc
Bride, the Athletic pitcher was
fine bowler, and so we're the thre
Wright brothers. II was not unit
1876. when the National League wa
launched that baseball finally tr
umphed over cricket in the affeC
tions Of the American sporting pull

New York Taxpayers Anxious to
Know What Constitutional

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-What Is the
constitutional convention going to do
about the sheriffs In New York city?
The question has been asked many
times since the delegates began their
deliberations. 1t is likely to be asked
many more times before the conven-
tion comes to an end. because there is
. growing demand among the thinking
taxpayers Of this city for sweeping re-
form in the offices Of the local sher-
IFS.
In this city. which by and large has
the grandest conglomeration OF State.
county and city government that ever
was mixed up in a relatively small
patch Of territory. there are Ave sher-
one of them Is using up chunks Of the
taxpayers money in doing things that
could more easily and more cheaply
be done by a city department.
To keep these Ave sheriffs going

lice department and to the department
Of corrections. and In doing things
that properly belong to the sphere Of
a city official who would combine the
functions of the present sheriff with
those Of the present city marshal.
If all the i've sheriffs offices were
done into one department which would
include also the city marshals office:
II this new office were relieved OF
duties that belong to the department
of corrections and to the police de-
partment; If all the fees now pertaining
to all of the five sheriffs' offices were
abolished. the work which tho city now
pays A.018.21 to have done by sherifrs
could be done for s216,5l0, erecting a
saving to taxpayers of $237 6O6.N.
