FIRST OLYMPIC GAMES
WE'RE HELD IN 776; B. E..

The seventh revival OF the famous
Olympic games being held in Ant
werp. Belgium. was scheduled for
Berlin in 1918, but the war caused a
postponement and a change to a more
deserving locality.
The original Olympic games, which
are so celebrated in history. date back
to the days of Homer. In the olden
days the Olympiads were the greatest
event in the world. They were the
foundation of the life and empires of
ancient Greece and Rome, and made
possible the triumph of Greece over
Asia and of Rome over the world
They were of paramount Importance.
This was further increased by the
solemnity which attended them, and
especially by the fact that the Grecian
method of reckoning time was based
upon them and their regular occur
renee.
The Greek idea was that the body
of man had glory as well as the
intellect and spirit. They realized
that the vitality and strength of the
individual body was the base of the
vitality and strength of the state.
The empires of Greece and Rome
lasted only as long as the Olympic
games-no longer.
The Olympic games were first held
in 176 B. G.. The name comes from
the site on which they were held
Olympia in Ellis. not city, but
small plain in the district of Pisatts.

This temple housed the most magnif-

Phidias.
The games were held at intervals

HOW WOULD YOU

A spirited discussion among scoring

but T. Shakespeare Rice. also Of
Brooklyn, declared il was penaliZing
headwork TO give an error to "A fielder
who purposely muffed a ball in order
to keep a runner from scoring.
As the rule preScribes an error for
every misp1ay that prolongs the time

and errors OF omission are ignored in
the official score. Wheat could have
obtained the same result as TO pre-
venting the scoring of run from
third and also escaped an error by
permitting the ball to hit the ground
in foul territory.
As the case stands the play will
stand in the record as an error against
Wheat.
