10000 on October /. 1866 and the
Athletics won 81 and IL.
It was considered! q disgrace to take
money for playing in the early days
but in 1866 three members Of the
Brooklyn team were given $40 q week
for playing. This, according to his
torians was the turning point in the
game toward professionalism. The
first professional team is credited to
Rockford, ILL.,, where AlsG. Spalding
organized the forest City's" team.
Toe.Harry Wright, who went to Gin
cinnati in 1867 from the Washington
Nationals, writer's give the credit for
importing non-resicence players for
his team.
By 1875 professional, amateur. and
semi-professional Gibbs had sprung up
all over the country and baseball truly
became the national sport. In 1876
the Association of Baseball Players
expelled the Chicago club for refusing
to play a return game, and thereupon,
histories say, Spalding and McVey
and some other Boston players jumped
TO Chicago. The !Spalding revolution
is given as the reason for the forma-
ton Of the National league in 1876.
The newly formed National league
had for rivals the International Asso-
citation ins1877, the American Associ-
alton, Union Association. and in 1900
the American League which stands to.
day as the only rival.

Pomp and Pagentry Of Victor
ian Days Will Therefore Be
Eliminated.

London, Sept. 1.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-An announ-
cement that the Shah of Persia is on
his way to visit London brought in
timations in the newspapers that the
government would accord him an en-
thusiastic welcome and all the pomp
and pageantryy Of the visit Of that 9th
er Shahin Victorian days would be
repeated. All this is now of no avail
as the Persian legation announces
that "the visit Of the Shah is quite
unofficial"
It is considered improbable that the
Shah is travelling with more than a
few personal attendants. He is said
to be. simple in his tastes, and cannot
afford to follow the tastes Of his IA
Their who was accompanied by a bril-
liant staff Of more than so persons.
While in London he will likely be
housed in the Persian legation. =
The recent agreement by which
England becomes an important factor
in Persian affairs makes the visit dou-
bly, important to the government.
Later the Shah will visit the Unit
ted States.

HONORs TO A DELAWARE BOY.
Leroy Jones Awarded Distinguished
Service Cross For Bravery.

Leroy Jones, the first Delawarean
mentioned in official citations for the
Distinguished Service Cross, has re-
turned to his home in Kentmere Road
near Wilmington, and to civilian life.
This Delawarean, an enlisted man,
put out of business two German ma
chine gun crews, during the western
front fighting last summer He dld
not write home about this event. The
first his family knew about his braV-
cry was the official notice that he had
been awarded the highest military
decoration in the American Army Tor
extraordinary heroism. Like most OF
the American heroes, young Jones Is
inclined to action rather than speech
and he is glad above all things te
have the war over, and to get back
to the good old United States.
