ONE reason why the fans are
treated to clean baseball by the
commercial leaguers is that the
games are practically free from
gambling. Betting hurts baseball
and when much money is up the fans
are treated to a crabby, scrappy
contest which isn't baseball.

nice work and If his fielders had done
as well. the photographers might nave

winning streak. As it was. the soldiers

the Seventh infantry, ; to 1.
McCamant tried Bennett in right
field and he piled up two costly errors.
each of which meant a run Graham
held down first base but Claude is not
an infielder and can hardly be blamed
for the two errors charged to him AL
together. there were seven errors made
by the photographers and the fans were
reminded Of old times.
Myers Gets Fine Support.
Myers took the mound for the Seventh
and performed ably while his support
was alright The Feldmans broke the
ice in the Fourth when Benjamin led
off with a single Graham laid down
a pretty sacrifice and Mulkey singled.
Mulkey then stole second and Benja-
min scored on a wild pitch, Mulkey
taking third Richardson famed for
the second time and Longmy was
thrown out by Myers On only one
other occasion did the Feldmans get
man to third and that was in the
first inning when Benjamin walked
and stole both second and third
Benefits error on Najek's long hit
in the fifth gave the soldiers their
chance. Kler was retired on a peg
by Head but Martin came along with
q pretty triple which scored Naiek-
Steele walked and stole second but De-
barr famed Rollins had pulled him
self out OF some bad holes in the first
three innings and now showed that it
was a habit with him. He hit CAL

With one gone in the sixth. Graham
dropped Benjamin's peg on Myers's
grounder. Najek then singled to right
and Bennett heaved the ball wild on

Najek second Kler's single scored

game He fed them a succession of
incurves across their letters and they
got only two hits off him in the six
innings he worked. The rain had de-
layed the start of the first game so
that the diamond could be fixed up and
the game lasted two and a half hours
so II was 80 o'clock before the second
game started. It was called for dark
ness in the sixth.
Pate remained on the mound for the
visitors and showed signs of firing

inning though II was not until the
fourth that BENJAMIN brought in the
only run OF the game.

rENRY CHADWICK

-rENRY CHADWICK has been
RI called The Father of Baseball"
- = but that, in a certain sense. is a
misnomer. Chadwick did not originate
the great national game. Baseball, in
a crude way. was played some years
before Chadwick became involved in
it.
But to that grand. lovable sportsman
must go the full credit for revolution
izing baseball: for bringing it from a
state of chaos and crudity to the rank
of the dominating sport of America II
was Chadwick, the genius. who saw in
wonderful scientific possibilities and
who worked increasingly through the
years TO standardiZe the sport, to lift
it to its present crest
There always has been considerable
dispute as to where baseball really had
its origin. One story has II that many
years ago a boy had a bundle Of Irvine
and amused himself by throwing it
bound Eventually. another boy Joined
him. Later a few more youths wanted
to play in the game A new "ball'
made Of Irvine and sewed to prevent
the boys suggested that il would be
greater sport to hit the ball with a
club. An axe handle was used.
And so. in this way, according to
many historians. baseball became a
