THE OLDEST
 BASEBALL

If baseball museum should ever be opened-and it would be 8. mighty interesting exhibit for the fans-the e nucleus of the collection would doubt less be a baseball now in the posses sion of the East End church league or Pittsburgh. This sphere is de- clared to be the oldest in existence, as it was used in the game between NeWburgh, N. Y, Hudsons and the Kingston, N. r. EcHpsed club, played T1fty-four years ago today, June 20, 1862. The pellet came in for a lot of rapping, as Kingston won the game by a score of 49 to IS. The sphere was long the property of John Miller, of Cornwall 1-on-the-Hudson, first sbaseman of the Kingston nine, who lived past the century mark but Mil Ter turned it over to the Smoky City organization to be preserved as a. relic of baseball antiquity. The ball.
 made of a, single piece of horsehide, is carefully guarded and is protected by both burglary and fire insurance poIi- cies aggregating a thousand dollars.

 Ross made himself solid with the fans by his showing with Cowboy Charley Shands at the Park theatre show. Although greatly outweighed Ross made Shands work until the fin ish.
 In the semi-fina1 Young McAunffe will go on with Joe Grady for 15 rounds.

Just as the New York writers were insinuating that the Yankee owners had been gold bricked when they paid huge sums for Baker and Magee, these two stars came to life. Bakers hit ting has been timely in the Cleve- land series and Magee has been stead fly improving with the stick.
 The Washington club may get into trouble with American league officials for failing to live up to an announce nent that Walter Johnson would pitch against Ed Walsh. A big crowd was attracted to see this contest but at the last minute Manager Griffith of Washington said Johnson would be unable to pitch because of illness in his family. All clubs have been no tifed that in the future managers must keep faith with the public when an announcement is made.
 Jimmy Curry, the Bridgeport out fielder, is not only a timely hitter, but he has the distinction of decorating his cheek with the biggest cud of to- bacco in the league.
 The final race of the Poughkeepsie regatta was rowed on the Hudson yesterday, the Cornell crew taking the freshman event. Syracuse was sec ond, Pennsylvania third and Columbia fourth The event was postponed from last Saturday because of bad weather.
 Pitcher Tom Hughes of the Braves says the twirlers have to laugh when they read about the aIibis offered by batters. The Giants claimed the shadows at the Polo Grounds interfer- ed with their hitting, but the Braves . have a better excuse than that They say the outfe1d fence on their home field is too low, making the ball come out of a bright sky when a. south paw is working and when a. right handler ! is pitching the scoreboaFd proves a bad background for the hitter to see l the ball.

public. He seems to have left the
matter to the Trib, for only day

sons we have learned to handle them

KIND WORDS FOR AL

KIND WORDS FOR Allen

rendered us good service by draw
ing out from Allen such a big-hearted
and broad-minded reply. 1t does a
fellow good to see how good-natured

lily, hope succeeds when hate re-
cedes" Tread again and again The
Day Book editorial, Jan. 21.).
But what caused the bad feeling
among the good fellows? "Cherchez
la femme" says the Frenchman.
Look for the woman. The quarrel
about women, fallen or otherwise,
has brought a note of discord be-
tween Pickering and Wells, Wells and
Allen, Allen and Barney and among
many others who quarrel in The
Forum about sex stuff which dis
cussion belongs to age 46 B. c."
So you see, Friend Allen, that woman
is the cause of discord, and yet you
bewail your single-blessedness.
I Let US hope that the single tax
idea does not mean to tax single
blessedness, as the argument to tax
vacant lots to compel their being
built up is as reasonable as to tax
single folks to compel them to marry,
for in both cases tax may work adj
ditional hardships. And, to draw the
analogy further, as real estate may
sometimes be burden rather than
a source of income to the owner, so
married life may not always be
source of joy.
SO why be sorry, Dear Allen, be-
cause you are a bachelor? If there
is no wife to appreciate your good
character, believe l voice the senti-
ment of many Forum readers when 1
say that you gained many apprecia-
tive friends through The Public
Forum. Besides, there is yet hope.

been if your ideas about polygamy
would come true. Why, then the rich
