TRIBUTE TO DOUBLEDAY,
FOUNDER OF BASEBALL
President of D. and H. Railroad
and Ex-Governor Tener Honor
Memory of Originator

COoPERSTowN, N. Y, June 29-orig-
| mating baseball and helping to start Amer
lean literature are particular claims to fame
on which Cooperstown based a general cele-
bratlon which brought back from distant
towns and cities men prominent in many
branches of business, professional and
political life as guests at the opening of the
new Delaware and Hudson Railroad station.
l.. f. Loree, president Of the road, paid n
high tribute to the value Of athletics as n
developer of the kind of men needed In ex-
ecutve lines
Training to produce and cultivate capa-
city for rapid decision in a difficult crisis
is afforded In war" said Mr.. Loree, also
In some of the professions and in the great
hazardous employments of mining and
transportation. but those are the occupa-
tions of adults. 1t is singular and fortu-
nate thing that similar opportunities are
offered to youth In the sports In which they
engage. And in none more consplcuously
than in baseball. The nation and the rail-
roads and all other enterprises which de-
pend upon men of action for their motive
power owe great debt Of gratitude to Gen.
eral Abner Doubleday a graduate of West
Point and afterward prominent in the Civil
War, who as youth laid out the first base
ball diamond and arranged In enduring
method the positions of the players. And II
owes much also TO the groups of men who
have fostered these intervening years, per-
fectlng its details and keeping 1t free from
taint." ...-. ,-,,.
Ex-Governor Tener. OF Pennsylvania,
president of the National League OF Base
ball Clubs, said extensive investigation had
established the right Of Cooperstown to the
honor of organized baseball
Here II had its 'birth,"- he said "and
II was originated by Doubleday, a native
son of Cooperstown. Doubleday laid out
the first baseball diamond over there; he
fixed the dimensions at 30 yards square,
and assigned the stategcal position of the
various players. That was In 1899 Since
then there have been unlimited changes in
the rules and methods of the game but Il
can be said that the original strategicaI
feature which this West Point graduate In.
corporated into the game has never been
disturbed or improved upon"
DIR. John H. Finley, New York State
Commissioner OF Education delivered an
address on James Fenimore Cooper and the
influence of his work on the literary de-
in the United States
Both founder of baseball and the novelist
are remembered with distinctive memorials
