FIRST HOME OF BASE BALL.
Game First Played in Cooperstown
According to A. G.. Spalding.

The recent celebration at Cooperstown.
y. Y, crediting that town with being the
original home of base ball, has again re-
opened the controversy regarding just
when and where base ball was first played
as an organized sport, with rules and
fixed places for the different members of
the teams when in the field. Some close
students of the early history OF the game
still express doubt regarding the state
ment that either nine or eleven players
first took the field at Cooperstown.
While some uncertainty may exist as
to whether such a lineup was actually
used in the early play at Cooperstown,
there appears to be little doubt that a
Cooperstown man evolved the idea Of
placing the players in practically the
positions they occupy in the game today.
Credit is given to Abner Doubleday. by
no less an authority than the late Albert
G. Spalding. who wrote in his report
upon the subject

CUBS ADD STRENGTH
Latest Purchase Is Fred MoII-
witt From Cincinnati.
GOES IN FIRST GAME TODAY
Weeghman Has Recently Spent
$4,000 Trying to Bolster Chicago
Nationals.
GOES IN FIRST GAME TODAY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Another high-class
ball player has been signed by the Cubs.
1t was announced today that Fred Moll-
WITT. first baseman of the Cincinnati
club. has been purchased outright by
President Weeghman. The deal involved
a considerable amount Of cash, the exact
sum not being stipulated.
The coming Of Mollwitz is in line with
weeghman's policy OF rebuilding the
Cubs as fast as talent can be obtained.
He is not sparing money to get winner.
The National League race this year Ia
a hummer. with five clubs strictly in the
running. President Weeghman and
Manager Joe Tinker realize if the Cubs
are to prosper new talent must be found.
Mollwitz is a big fellow and fast. Last
season he had more assists per game
than any other first baseman in the Ma
tional League. This. after all, is an indi-
cation of how much ground a man covers
Almost anybody can grab throws that
come to the bag. but a fellow must be
active to throw out men going to other
bases In this MoIlwitz excels.
Vic Safer has played good game this
year. but has been weak against left
handed pitchers. Hostile managers are
certain the Cubs can't hit the southpaws.
so use the crooked arms whenever
Thinkers team comes on the field. There
fore. 1t was necessary to break up this
practice.
Within week Weeghman has bought
Bill Workman, Joe Kelly and Mollwitz
the three investments standing around
$40. 900 in cash and players
Mollwitz will be here tonight and will
appear at first base tomorrow in the final
game before the Cubs start on the long
eastern jaunt. Mollwitz was with the
Cubs before. but under the West Side
management.
