Ponies Make 1t Two
 Wins Over Americans;
 Flynn'S Here Tomorrow
Springfield Twirler Too Much For Bridgeporters-Game at Park In Morning - Grays Tighten League Lead Grip.

Defeated virtually at the hands or Earl Purvere, the former Providence High school twirler, who is now wearing the fighting togs Of the Springfield team, the Americans to- day set upon the task of not only breaking their losing streak but al least making even the series with the Ponies, prior to tackIlng the Waterbury contingent at NeWneio park tomorrow morning and in the Brass City tomorrow afternoon But 1t will be a difficult task If yester- days game is to be taken as a crl- terion for the very good reason that the Americans were sadly lacking In the hitting line and finally dropped their fourth straight game by the score of to 0.
 Puryere, the Springfelder, twir1ed a most interesting as. well as exciting game and he literally had the Amer jeans eating out of, the palm of his hand. This made the second defeat the locals have suffered while this hurler has been in the points. Yes terday, however he was totally in vincible and not only held the locals runIess, but kept the hit total down to five bingles, one of which was a triple by Kenneth Grimes and another a double by Baker.
 Backed by good fielding the Pony hurler never was in deep water and had things pretty much his own through most of the battle. So ef- fective was he that Kenneth Grimes was the only player who got as far as third base
 Manager Grimes chose Jack Leon- ard to do the honors for the Amer1- cans but he was yanked in the fourth after the visitors had scored two runs on three passes and three bingIes. Martin Walsh once agaln was called in to the rescue work, but while he pitched fairly well and put all the pep possible into his benders he allowed the invaders two more tal- lies, one in the fifth and another in | the eighth.
 Mameo started the scoring for | Springfield in the third inning by | drawing a base on four balls. Holly | whiffed, but King popped to Baker Wilder singled toward short. Braun | changed his mind about fielding the l ball, which was travelling at a slow l velocity. Bill Lai fielded it too late ] for all hands were safe when ht | grabbed the horsehide, Mameo takins ! second and Wilder a moment late, | stealing second. Both scored ol Kay's long single. Kay reached sec ond on the throw back to the infield
 but stole third. Lennox grounded | out.

HOW OUR NATIONAL
GAME ORIGINATED

Chicago, Sept. 26.-With the COM
ing Of the Worlds Series baseball
takes a paramount 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 ac-
oording to historians, and in the evo-
luton OF the name ''roundball"
which later became "townball'' be-
cause 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-
luton of the old English game of
FOUNDERS" while others claim in
their writings that the sport is OF
strictly American origin. Writers of
the first group say the game of
FOUNDERS" 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 ]. Cartwright, a New York
man, the credit for originating :. the
game as now played is given by many
writers.
In 1912 it is written, Cartwright
broke in on a game of "one-old-cat"
in which gang of New York boys
we're playing on the Murray Hill
grounds and with a stick scratched
diamond in the dust. telling the boys
this was the game they should play
and suggesting player for each
base. three Scouts" in the outfield
pitcher and 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 game as suggested by Cart
wright took form quickly and on
September 90, 1S45, the Knicker-
bocher club in New York was formed
having the honor of being the first
baseball club, according to historical
writer's Of the game. The first con-
test Of the new game was played be-
tween the Knickerbocher club and
another New. York team on the Ely
sian fields, Hoboken, y. J. The
New York team won 23 to /. The
first tabulated score ever kept of the
game, histories record, was that
printed by the New York Clipper
July 16, 1853. The contest was
played on July Of that year be-
tween the Knickerbocher and Co
than teams.
In the early days runs we're called
aces" and a team had to make q
TO have enough to win. Rule one
OF the early set of rules, copies OF
which have been preserved, says
that all players "must be punctual
and observe the time for the COM
mencement of the game" This pre-
caution 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 batter decided to
strike
Beginning with the Knickerbocker
and Gotham clubs other organiza-
t1ons sprung into being and a pio-
neer convention OF baseball was held
in May, 1857. The next year %
clubs sent delegates to New York and
