and the game standardized. The
urst ball was only about half the
weight of the one used at present,
and there was no definite rule for
the size or weight Of the sphere, the
one usually used being about three
ounces in theft" and measured any
where from two and three-quarters to
three and a half inches in diameter,
the latter being the diameter of the
present ball.
The pitcher stood forty-five feet
from the home plate and pitched,
not threw, the ball. That is, he was
not allowed to bend his elbow in his
delivery. The term pitcher as APP
piled then has never been changed,
even after all restrictions had been
removed from his delivery. The UNI

manned until 1872, or shortly after
the first professional association of
baseball clubs was established. Since
then the weight and size have re-
manned the same, five to five and a
quarter ounces in weight and nine
and quarter inches in circumfer-
ence.
Up to 1857, or for eighteen years
after the first game of ball was play
ed, there was no limit to the number
of innings, the first side scoring 81
runs, or 'aces," as they were then
called, being the winner. The pitch
er had line twelve feet long, kept
behind it, and could take a short run
before his delivery, just the same as
is permitted in cricket today. In fact,
there were lots of ideas from cricket
incorporated in the baseball game in
the old days.
When the old Athletics ana Boston
teams toured England in 1874, one
of the English cricket clubs tried it's
hand at baseball. The captain of the
Britishers was much disturbed by
the number of foul flies knocked up
behind the plate that fell safe be-
cause the catcher couldn't catch
them. He consulted the rules and
found he could place his out-fielders
anywhere he pleased, and promptly
brought his centre fielder in behind
the bat, with dire results to the
American batters. Later the back
stop was fixed. and this put an end
to the possibility of playing in such
a position.
Up to 1857 when the game was di-
vided into nine innings, the pitcher
beside being free to move about his
,twelve-foot square, had to throw I'M
til the batter made a hit. There were
no such things as balls and
Strikes" Strikes, however, made
their appearance that year and in
1863 the batter was first permitted
to take his base on balls, three only
being required to make walk
The strike out was somewhat diff

not SO very long ago, when the num-
Der OF balls was reduced from five to

IN early times three balls were all
that were allowed.
The most recent change in the
game was as late as 1909, when the
cork centre ball replaced the rubber
cored sphere. Peculiarly, however.
the substitution of the so-called
dead ball for the lively" rubber
centered one did not interfere much.
II any, with the batting averages. It
was the foul strike of 1901 that
really hit the batting hard, for since
the adoption of that rule the 400
hitter has disappeared from the
game.
Although the game of baseball
is generally understood to have had
its birth in 1889, it was not until six
years later, or 1845, that the first
definite playing rules were compiled

to make the out. This same rule as
to the first bound held good for all
fair hits until the following year,
when it was abolished, but it was
not until 1883 that the strike and
foul bound outs were done away
with. The catcher was still permit
ted to remain several yards back of
the batter, however, and usually
came up" only after the second
strike or third ball. The rule re-

Among the most distinctive novelties
presented for evening wear are bright
little capes trimmed with white mara
bOu. They are made Of chiffon velvet,
taffeta, or satin, the gay colors that
are used for evening wraps, and make
very useful substitutes for these more
ambitious garments. Turquoise and
other light blues, orchid. gold, rose,
and new shades Of green make charm
ing combinations with wide bands of
narabOu.
The cape shown in the picture is of
light blue taffeta and is simply q
straight strip Of the silk gathered TO-
q band on each edge. The long ties at
the front are made of strips of silk,
finished with picot edge, and fasten the
cape with 4 big bow of two loops. The
merest amateur in sewing can manage
cape of this Kind. They are useful
to throw about the shoulders at the
tea-dance, between dances, or any
where that q scarf is needed.
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1916-11-30

Besides capes made as pictured
there are heavier ones in darker vel
vets trimmed with fur, for wear with
afternoon and street gowns. In these
the velvet, or fur-fabric, is not gath
cred but is fiat and sometimes inter-
lined. Dark marabOu and fur band
inSs finish them and they are fastened
with ties of soft ribbon matching them
in color, or with silk cords. They are
shaped like the small flat capes OF fur
which came in as Il new feature in fur
styles In the present season.
There are as many small fancy neck
pieces in fur and velvet as there are
little capes. Most Of them mutlle up
the neck in the approved fashion, and
are worn with muffs to match. They
suggest good use for fur garments OF
sets that are partly worn, and must be
either made ove:'Eor cut up into bands
for trimming. Fur landings are used
on dresses, hats. bags, and all sorts OF
wraps. T."
