BASEBALL.

This is the beginning Of the base
ball season. Anyone would know that
by visiting any army camp during the
leisure time of the soldiers, Even the
intense military training does not
dampen the enthusiasm of the soldier
boys for the national game.
More players in proportion to spec
tators is an encouraging feature of
the soldier games, but the few rooters
on the side lines make enough noise
for an immense crowd.
One might be led to suppose that
baseball as at present played, was an
ancient institution as indeed BAN
games in general are; but the first
baseball team ever organized is re-
ported by a competent athletic COM
mittee to have been a New York City
team in 1S45. The first challenge
game by two organized teams was
played June 10, 1916, with a score of %
to l. AT that date and for some time
after the rule was that it required a
score of I'll on the part of any team in
order to win the game
In 1858 a n, tional Association OF
baseball players was formed, the fore
runner of numerous leagues since.
The first professional club ever
formed was the Cincinnati Red Stock
ings in 1869. During the next year
they toured the country playing va
rious local teams. They covered 1920
miles and 1000 spectators witnessed
the games. Baseball soon attained
great vogue. But gambling on the
games was permitted and sometimes
fostered. Liquor was frequently sold
near the grounds Competition was so
high that frequently the games ended
in a fist fight. Because of all this
baseball was opposed by the better
elements of various communities and
declined in popularity. Later on new
baseball associations were formed with
stricter rules and more careful super
vision, and in 1884 a worlds series was
played Which was won by the Provi-
dence team of the National League. A
worlds series has been played In many
years since that time and continuous
ly since 1905.
Several picked ball teams have made
a tour around the world and intro
duced the game into our island possess
sions and into Japan, China. India, etc
Baseball develops individual initial
tive, and team play as well. There
are mental stimulus and character
forming features in baseball if prop
erly played.
Honesty, fairness, consideration Of
others, sacrifice of ones self for the
good of the team, persistent effort to
win but Just as persistent good humor
in defeat-these qualities characterize
every good player on any diamond,
whether of baseball of war or of civil
life. G. B. L.

NY PRAYER.
BY Robert Freeman.

White Captain of my soul, lead on;
I follow Thee come dark or dawn.
Only Vouchsafe three things l crave:
Where terror stalks Help me be
Brave!
Where righteous ones can scare endure
The siren call, Help me be Pure!
Where vows grow dim, and men dare
do
What once they scorned, Help me be
True!

THE EPIDEMIC
IN WATERVILLE

From the local Board OF Health
Sunday comes, the report that the
epidemic of Spanish influenza, grip,
colds and the prevailing sickness,
which has struck New England, is not
in a serious stage in Waterville, that
a few new cases were reported Sat-
urday and on new cses reported Sun
day, that there are very few serious
cases in the city and that the. local
authorities have the situation well in
lind. The report was current Satur-
day that some places of amusements
had been given permission to open up
again for business. The Board Of
Health has closed all places of amuse-
ments and none have been since Civ
en- permission to open. The NUM-
cipal authorities are OF, in a legal
sense, able to do this and the action,
if any, should come W holly from the
helth authorities. 1t was understood
that on Saturday evening many from
this city went to Fairfield. where the
moving picture establishment and the
pool rooms did a thriving business.
No closing order has yet reached
Fairfield. but it would seem apparent.
that Waterville people in doing such
a thing, would be endangering those
they meet up there as we'll as them
selves. The cars have not been
fumigated.

CHICAGO LITTLE AHEAD
IN CELEBRATING PEACE

Chicago, Oct. 6.--While crowds at
tracted by the screaming of the
whistles in the great war plants in
south Chicago and Gary gathered in
the streets to discuss wild rumors
that Germany had surrendered,
warnings against the Teutonic peace
offensives were being sounded in
hundreds of Chicago churches. From
early in the morning until late at
night the newspaper offices were kept
busy denying reports that peace had
been declared or that Germany had
thrown down her arms. Scores Of
kilograms of cities in the middle ives,
declared that they had received mes
sages stating that Chicago is cele-
brating peace, and asking for fur

Loan officials expressed concern over

others.
One thought concerning the Ger
man peace offer that found express
sion in many quarters tonight as
that the Germans. in launching their
effort just at this time. probably
hoped to affect the Fourth Liberty
Loan by creating the idea that the
end Of the war is at hand. 1t is be-
lieved. however that their efforts will!
have the directly opposite effect. Of
ficials who. informally. say they find
no reason for thinking peace will be
brought appreciably nearer by the
latest developments. point to the
present situation in Germany and at
the hattie fronts. They say there
has been no real exchange of control
in Germany despite the call of Prince
Macmillan to the chancellorship
with a cabinet including Social Dem
ocrats and CT icals; that reverses on
the west front and the detection of
Bulgaria brought about these super
fetal changes. but that actual power
still lies with the Kaiser and his war
lords who will keep any promises
table only so long as they are cowed
by superior military power. They
emphasize the fact that the German
armies still are following their old
Hun like course. destroying cities
and towns in their retreat more ruth
lessly than they did in their ad-
vance. and showing no evidence OF
a realization that the day OF reckon
ing is at hand.
The Kaiser's address to the German
army and navy announcing the peace
offer probably attracted more atten-
ton here than the offer itself. In
spite Of his still arrogant tone, il was
realized that this was the nearest
thing TO a remuneration of sabre
rafting that has ever come from him.
His admission that the Macedonian
front has "crumbled" was looked up
on S significant and even his deciar-
alton that "our front" will not be
broken was called singularly modest
from such q source.
