Association Formed

Beginning with the Knickerbocker and Gotham clubs, other Organiza- tions sprang into being and a pioneer convention of baseball clubs was held in May, 1857. The next year twenty five clubs sent delegates to New York and "the National Association of Baseball Players" was formed.
 In the late sos the game spread to Boston; Portland, Maine, took up the pastime in 1858, and Buffalo and Rochester, N. Y., followed Chicago started the game in 1856, and two years later was playing match games with Milwaukee.
 When the game spread to San Fran cico, in 1859, it developed into a wild port. Professional gamblers who in fested the Pacific coast towns in the early days bet heavily on the games, according to historical accounts, and the Spectators" were in the habit of shooting off revolyers when a field, CT was about to catch the ball
 Records show that New Orleans be- came interested in baseball in 1860 then the Civil war put a stop to the sport temporarily, but the soldiers in the camps played, and writers say the war had a great deal to do with the spread of the sport over the en- tire country.
 In 1867 the Savannah team, accom- panied by a band and rooters, went to Charleston to play for the cham piOnship of the South, it is chron- icled
 Harvard University combined with the town boys in 1865 and organized the first college baseball team. Later Tufts and Yale followed In 1864 and 1865 the "Atlantics" of Brooklyn won all their games and held undisputed title until 1866, when the Philadelphia Athletics stepped in and handed the champions a defeat. The two teams played before a crowd estimated at 30,000 on October 1, 1866, and the Athletics won, 31 to 12.

SOME HISTORY PERTAINING TO
 GREAT SPORT

CHICAGO, Sept. 27 (by Associated Press) With the coming of the worlds series, baseball takes a par amount place in the thoughts of many persons. The word baseball" as a designation for the national pastime came into existence in the thirties of the last century, according to his torians, and is the evolution of the name "round-ball," which later be- came "townbalP' because the game was played at town meetings.
 There are two schools of thought on the origin of the game of baseball. Some claim that the game is the evo- lutfon of the old English game of "rounders," while others claim in their writings that the sport is of strictly American origin. Writers of the first group say the game of ''rOunders" can be traced to the Netherlands, and in turn to Egypt, even going so far as to suggest that the Sphinx "may have been the first umpire"
 Those who favor the idea that the game originated with Americans, by Americans, and for Americans, are in the majority, however, and to Alex ander J. Cartwright, New York man, the credit for originating the game as now played is given by many writer's
 In 1842, it is written, Cartwright broke in on a game of "one-old-cat" which a gang of New York boys were playing on the Murray Hill grounds, and with a stick scratched a diamond in the dust, telling the boys this was the game they should play and sug- gesting a player for each base, three 'scouts" in the outfield, pitcher and a catcher In the early days when the game resembled cricket and any ball hit by the batter was ''fair" the catcher had a scout to assist him.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-09-27
First Baseball Club

The game as suggested by Cart wright took form quickly and on September 23, 1845, the Knicker- booker club in New York was formed, having the honor of being the first baseball club, according to historical writers of the game. The first con- test of the new game was played between the KnickerbOcker club and another New York team on the Ely sian fields, Hoboken, N. J. The New York team won, 23 to 1. The first tabulated score ever kept of the game, histories record, was that print ed by the New York Clipper, July 16, 1853. The contest was played on July 5 of that year between the Knickerbocher and Gotham teams.
 In the early days runs were called 'aces" and a team had to make 21 to have enough to win. Rule 1 of the early set of rules, copies of which AAN' DSSAA pA S0S4 FCu1 SUyS IldL dIl players must be punctual and ob- serve the time for the commencement of the game" This precaution was necessary because in those days no bases on balls were possible and it was not uncommon for the pitcher to throw for half an hour before the bat ter decided to strike.
 A very few changes in the basic principles of the game as set forth in the original twenty rules, made in 1845, have been made. In Rule 2 of the original set it is provided that before the commencement of the game the president shall appoint an umpire, who shall keep the game in 8 book and note all the violations of the rules" and Rule 17 states that there shall be no appeal from the um- pire's decision in case of a dispute In 1848 a rule making it necessary for player to be touched out was add

Professionalism Appears

It was considered a disgrace to take money for playing in the early days, but in 1866 three members of the Brooklyn team were given $1O a week for playing. This, according to historians, was the turning point in the game towards professionalism The first professional team is credit ed to Rockford, H., where A. c. Spald- ing organized the Forest City's" team. To Harry Wright, who went to Cincinnati in 1867 from the Wash ington Nationals, writers give the credit for importing nonresident players for his team.
 By 1874 professional, amateur and semi-professional clubs had sprung up all over the country and baseball truly became the national sport. Tn 1875 the Association of Baseball Players" expelled the Chicago club for refusing to play return game, and thereupon, histories say, Spald- ing and McVey and some other Bos- ton players jumped to Chicago. The Spalding revolution is given as the reason for the formation of the Ma tional League in 1876.
 The newly formed National League had for rivals the International Asso- citation in 1877, the American Asso- citation, Union Association and in 1900 the Amercan League, which stands today as the only rival.

ed to the original code and at this time sliding to the bases made it's first appearance. Other changes were made from time to time, making the principles of the game the same as they stand today.

audience in the extreme rear, and
that talented young woman took COM
plete charge Of both orchestra and
chorus-and under her able direction
the grand old oratorio was given in a
manner Of which London or Vienna
might have been proud. The honor
and responsibility were thrust upon
Miss Cline quite unexpectedly and
over her protest. Mr.. Zach insisted
that rs she had rehearsed the chorus,
she was more familiar with the sing
ing organization than he, and he had
sufficient confidence in her ability to
intrust TO her the direction Of his
superb orchestra. This is Of itself
somewhat remarkable, but more re
rnarkable rs tie fact that succs rs.
should attend her work wnen it Is
known that she never before directed
an orchestra. But whatever ner, Gus

have felt flor it was not visitle, rap
idly passed away. She seemed to be
imbued with the spirit Of music, the
themes Immediately in hand held her
and she conducted with the certain.
~ Of an adept. Closely watching her
work in the earlier part Mr.. Zach
said "She is doing splendidly, far, far
better than ! expected or looked for.
She has never directed before. Now
already in this brief time she is get
ting used to it. The oratorio is safe
in her hands.
This was Miss Cline's first triumph
rs a director. But believing that a
single triumph no more makes sue
cess than single swallow makes a
summer. she awaited other oppor-
tunities for proving her ability in
this line.
The second director to put her in
charge Of an orchestra was Mr.. Wal
ter H. Rothwell Of the St Paul
Symphony Orchestra. To st. Paul
paper Mr.. Rothwell wired that he had
found in Miss Cline a conductor to
whom he could confidently intrust the

the chorus ut is wonderful! he
exclaimed as he sat in the back Of
the hall and watched her work.
Then came Walter Damrosch. fore
most symphony orchestra leader in

young woman he too surrendered his
baton Then he sat back to watch
her direct the New York Symphony

precision and complete control. Her
work is most excellent"
