said to me, II don't think this bit
fair. The boys ought to be made to

Many inquiries have been made re-
garding the total receipts from Boy
Blue. The total was S1S5.51, the ex-
pense $53.O6, making net total of
s132.45. The money will be spent for
a piano.
Many people have asked where the
orchestra came from that performed
at Boy Blue. This organization is
made up entirely of high school peo-
pie, under the leadership of Miss
Kakac. Miss Kakac is getting fine
results. Some time in May the high
school will put on Music Fest.
This event has always bben a good one
The proceeds go toward the support
of the band.
The girls of the Senior class have
taken very sensible stand in regard
to commencement weeks parapherna-
liza. 1t has been decided by the girls
to eliminate hats and gloves, and to
cut down all expenses to SIS. The
girls are to be congratulated. II
there is one thing people in general
have objected to and criticised it is
the outlandish way many girls dress
for this event. Graduation, of course,
is and should be an event III girls
life, but not merely an opportunity to
spend her fathers money or to try
to put on clothes in order to show off.
The girls of the class of is have set
precedent. After the girls had done this
the board of education heartily approx
ed of the action and ruled that all girls
who expect to participate in the
commencement week exercises must
conform to the regulations adopted
by the class.
School closed Friday noon for a
weeks Easter vacation.
The Seniors will give 1.-THE Fortune
Hunter" by Winchell Smith for class
play this year. 1t is a comedy con-
sisting of nineteen characters, and it
is highly spoken of.
A word from the wise should be
sufficient. Mr.. Wells has recently
come to the conclusion that some of
the students are circulating notes
among the student body. Some of
these bits of information have been
sidetracked it seems, and the unex-
pected recipients are finding some
curious statements.

NO CHANGE IN POLICY.
U. S. Will Not Control Policing Of
Panama and Colon.

Despite recommendations by the war
department and Latin American bu-
reau. it has been indicated that the
United States will not assume po-
lice Jurisdiction of the cities Of CO.
Ion and Panama. The treaty with Pan
anna provides for such course should
it be deemed advisable, but 1t was
intimated that the administration
would not alter the previous policy of
the government.
The recent trouble between the Pan
anna police and soldiers from the canal
garrison was said to have originated
with the police by Maj. Gen. Wood,
who made a personal investigation.
Previous similar disturbances have
caused the Latin American bureau to
recommend that the cities be policed
either by soldiers from the garrison posts
or by force directly under the control
of the governor Of the Canal Zone. The
State Department, however, has consist
emily refused to authorize the change and
it is said the latest outbreak will not alter
that determination.

Woman Baggage Porter.

LONDON, April 5.-The woman bag
gage porter has made her appearance
in the Marylebone railway station. For
some time women have been employed in
cleaning the railway coaches. but now
they take their place with the men to
carry bags or roll trunks on hand
trucks to and from the trains and the
taxis. Their insignia is a metal arm
badge, like the mems.
AS -Ftlle, the woman porters look
mainly after woman travellers. The
only privilege they exact over the men
is their afternoon cup of tea. The
women are now quite as well up on the
time tables as the men, and can pocket
tips with equal adeptness.

hut he told Mr.. Lee ivy l. Lee, Mr.
RockefeIler's representative that Gov
Ammons had been disturbed over the mis-
understanding which prevailed in the
,toaS of
the Colorado strike. Maj. Boughton
asked MIR Lee if he had in mind any eff
fectjye way of getting the facts before
the public Mr.. Lee suggested that one
method would be for the governor to write
a letter to the President of the United
States and to his fellow governors in
other states setting forth the situation as
Gov Ammons saw it. Maj. Boughton
stated that he could not tell them how the
governor would regard such suggestion.
and even Maj Boushton himself would
have to convey the suggestion to Gov
Ammons through Gen. Chase, Mai
Boughton's superior officer.
ITO get the matter into shape for
consideration, Maj Boughton asked Mr..
Lee to make his suggestion concrete by
preparing a draft of the kind of let

teams. G
common Of almost every New England
town was base ball field, where the
boys played in the early part Of the
afternoon, while later it was given
over to the young men. In these town
common games some of Americas first
great base ball players were developed,
and they served exactly the same pur
pose in bringing out talent that the
back lot tournaments at two-old-c
serve today.
There is no game whose evolution
from it's crudest stages has been more
clearly traced than that OF base ball,
and this evolution is especially inter
estinS as showing how a highly per-
fected game may be developed from a
crude beginning. "Rounders' is gener-
ally accepted as the parent game Of
modern base ball. This game was wide
ly played by American boys between
the years 1925 and 1910. There were
four bases, which were marked by pegs
driven into the ground. A hole corre-
sponded to the modern home plate. The
pitcher tried to toss ball into the
hole. and the batter tried to hit 1T. A
runner might be put out either by be-
ing hit with a ball while he was be-
tween two bases, or by being caught
out on fly or by the ball being
grounded-that is; being thrown into
the home plate hole.
The evolution of modern base ball
| from this crude amusement has really
consisted in only a few essential
changes so far as the method of pro-
cedure is concerned. but these few have
been Of vital Importance and hard con
tested. Thus along in the early six
ties when base ball was first becoming
a national game and the first base ball
conventions were. held there was A
| long and hotly waged controversy as
to whether the batter should be called
out a fly. Repeatedly in the con-
ventions a rule allowing the batter to
| run on caught fly was brought UP,
but always it was voted down At this
period, however. there were many fly"
games in which runners were allow ed

Beginning of Era
of Big League Ball

when the famous Cincinnati Red Stock
ings organized and played teams from
Maine to California without losing d
game. In one season they were winners
in fifty-six games and scored total OF
3.2s9 runs against their opponents.
This spectacular success gave great
Impulse to professionalism and was fol-
lowed within a few years by the organ
zation OF the National Association and
then the National League. There fol-
lowed a period Of ups and downs which
more than once threatened the exis-
tence of the game. At one time profess
sional betting gained strong hold upon
it. while at another the players became
dfseruntled and formed brotherhood for
the purpose of debating their own terms
thus precipitating a war of players and
managers. But the game was pulled
through all of these vicissitudes by the
tremendous hold which it had upon the
affections Of the American public. and was
gradually brought to the perfection of or
ganization which is the admiration OF
American fans today.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-04-26

One of the most important develop
ments in the game was the rule which
abolished put

IA thrown ball. This schoolboyish fea-
ture Of the game was long a very pop
ular one. That. however. was before
the horsehide sphere, as hard as a
brick, and the strong armed modern
pitcher had come into the game.
Even as late as 1860 the New Eng
land game was 4 very loose affair The
players might be anywhere from ten to
fourteen in number. and, most peculiar
of all, the catcher usually had at least
two assistants to "pigtail" the balls he
missed.
The first extensive trip in this coun-
try ever taken By a base ball team was
that made by the Nationals of
Washington in 1867. 1t was then an
clerks in the government departments.
Nevertheless. they defeated the Column
bus, Ohio, team, the Cincinnati Reds"
and another Ohio team called the
Buckeyes In fact. they won every
game on the trip and played TO good
crowds almost everywhere.
The foreign tour for American base bail
teams first came into vogue in 1874. when
me Boston ana Inl1aueipnEl CluDS maze
a tour of England. The Enslishmen are
reported To have been amazed beyond

Americans fielded the ball. nothing like
their speed and form ever having been
seen in cricket. Then. just to show that
they We're versatile. the Americans turned
in and beat the Englshmen at their own
game. defeating the Marylebone. Princes
and Surrey clubs of London. This trip
was a financial failure. but in every other
respect a great success.
