Beginning of Popular Games

, founded on the old English game Of
FOUNDERS. and for almost a century
it has been known in the eastern
states in various forms.
Basket ball is unique. inasmuch as
lit was the invention of one man. and
was completed at a single sitting. In
1891. in the course of lecture at the
Young Mems Christian Association in
Plainfield. Mass, the lecturer spoke
of the mental processes of invention
and used a game, with its limitations
and necessities. as an illustration
James Naismith. who was a member
of the class, worked out basket ball
that same night as an ideal game to
meet the case. 1t was presented the
next day in the lecture room and nut
in practice with the aid of the mem :
bers of the gymnasium. From there it
spread to other branches of the Young
Mems Christian Association and sub
sequently to athletic clubs and the
general public.
Billiards is believed by some to have
been brought from the east by the
Crusaders. while others claim an Eng
llsh origin for it and find it allied TO
the game os bowls. Still Others as
sert that the French developed il
from an ancient German game. II
seems pretty certain that the first
person to give form and rule to the
game was an artist. named Henrique
Devigne, who lived in the reign of
Charles TX. One writer sees in bfl-
liards the ancient game of paiIle-
maille played on a table instead of on
tss ground. and this is a reasonable
assumption.
Bowls. or bowling. is one of the
most popular and ancient of English
pastimes, its, origin being traceable
to the twelfth century. 1t was held in
such disfayor for years that laws
were enacted against it and il was
an illegal pursuit. Alleys were built.
however, as il could not be played
out-of doors during the winter and
the game flourished in spite of oppo-
sition. In the beginning of the eight
eenth century greens began to In
crease, while the alleys were rigor-
ously and absolutely suppressed. 1t
soon became a royal game. Ar
Checkers is said by some TO be
very old game. while others declare
1t 20 be of comparatively modern
origin. Whence it came is absolutely
unknown The game is also called
draughts. and there are many va
rieties of it-Chinese. English. Polish.
Spanish, Italian and Turkish 1t sis~
also found among the native tribes of
the interior of New Zealand. sF'f.ssr

TT is doubtful if there is another
city in the United States where
games of all kinds are played to
greater degree than in Wash
ington. This is especially true OF
of diversion are older than the Ro-
man empire.
Tennis is pronounced the oldest of
all the existing ball games" 1t is
impossible to give it's origin, but 1t
was played in Europe during the mid
die ages, in the parks or bitches" OF
the feudal castles. 1t was at first
the pastime of kings and mobiles. but
later it grew popular with alf>classes.
The French took it from the Italians,
and the English from the French.
Polo is Of eastern origin, and has
been a favorite pastime in Persia.
Tartary and the frontiers of India
from prehistoric times. The name or
the game varies with the district. and
the rules are not the same on minor
points, though they are substantialIy
alike on the main issues. China and
Japan also have a game closely re-
sembling the Persian sport.
Golf is popularly supposed to have
had it's origin in Scotland. but there
seems to be good reason for believ-
ing that it came from Holland. The
name itself is undoubtedly of Ger
man or Dutch extraction. and an en-
actnaent Of James 1 of England. bear
ing date 1913, refers to consider
able Importation of golf balls from
Holland. and at the same time places
a restriction upon this extravagant
use. in a. foreign country, of the coin
of the realm.
Chess always has been the subject
of more dispute. SO far as its origin
is concerned. than any other game.
1t is probably the most ancient as
we'll as the most intellectual of games.
and it is played all over the world. :.
The belief which is most generally.
accepted is that it came from the Hin
docs, and the most conservative esti-
mate places its age at one thousand
years Some persons. however. claim
an age of from four to Ave thousand
years for it. Its basis is the art of war.
and the Hindoo name for it, "chatu-
ranga;" means the four 'angas" or
members of an army which are giv-
en- in ,Hindoo writings as elephants,
horses chariots and foot soldiers.
Base ball holds undisputed sway as
the American national game. 1t was

FOSSILS OF PREHISTORIC
ANIMALS FOUND AROUND THE DISTRICT

IN ECENT discovery near Hyatts-
- vile. Nd, of what is supposed
10 be the t.ligh-5one of one of
the much varied species OF
dinosaurs. a reptile which lived during
the Mesozoic age. probably more than
1000. 900 years ago. has caused much
speculation among Washington scien-
lists as to the exact type of reptiles
and mammals that once Inhabited the
territory in which Washington is To-
Gated
While the capital is not regarded as
lying in a region rich in paleonto1og-
teal deposits. nor is the city built on
strata regarded as old geoIogically.
several interesting finds OF ancient
reptiles and FISH have been made IN
and about the city, To date. no fossil
remains of the vertebrate mammals
known to have inhabited the United
States in comparatively recent ages
have been found in the immediate
neighborhood of Washington. Two
exceptions must be made, however. in
the cases of fossil bones Of peccarfes
and wolves. which were found sew
eral years ago mixed together with
fossil bones OF prehistoric. bears and
animals of the deer tribe in a cave
near Cumberland. Nd
Inc most interesting Hu0 III tHe
city proper is part of legbone of
what has been scientifically estab-
Iished to be dinosaur. probably OF
the genii Ceratosaurus or Megalo-
saurus. This bone section complete
ly fossilized. was found Is, forty-five
men excavating for sewer on F
Atreet between 1st and 2d streets
southeast. The specimen has been
ascertained to have belonged to the
genus of carnivorous or flesh eating
reptiles, which hourished in the
Mesozoic period and reached the cli-
max of their. development during the
Jurassic age, probably 4.00o, geo years
ago. ~
The beast. which was a branch OF
the reptile family whose members
reached the greatest size yet known
to have been attained by any sub
aqueous or wholly land living animal.
probably measured thirty-five feet in
length and would reach a height OF
twelve feet at the shoulder. when
standing partially erect on its heavy
hind legs, holding the much smaller
front legs tucked up under it's great
body. 49,.
Ouarries of red clay and sandstone
or slate near Muirkirk. Md. some
eighteen miles north of Washington
the 1dt1fUOTC- " dSIihSsOH tOau,
rave yielded rich finds in lpaleonto-
logical research for the visiting scien-
>tist.
Bones Of several specimens of the
type of dinoaaur known as pleuro-
ceolus. a herbivorous or plant-eatins
animal, which reached a length OF
q =ixty-fve feet. have been found IN
these auarries, mixed indiscriminately ~
with Impressions of the giant fauna
and fora of those dark ages, at the
dawn OF history. Teeth of a mon
s,rous animal. identified by comoar,-
son with others as the teeth OF an
armored dinosaur OF the species
S'egosaurus Unguiatus have beer
found in the deposits at Muirkirk
These animals grew to length o1
thirty feet and stood fourteen feet
high at the extreme highest point in
Athe middle of the hack, where i'm

verse. was the ludicrously small size
OF the brain. which has been found
to weigh approximately ten ounces.
The average human brain weighs two
mounds. so intelligence OF th.se nre-
historic animals was not very high.
In fact. scientists claim about all the
brain of the animal could do was to
enable it to realize it needed food or
that ii should fight an enemy. On the
other hand. in all probability the
sense OF smell and the optical organs
Of these immense reptiles were ex-
traordinarily well developed, enabling
them tn find food with comparafiv.-
ease and at the same time detect the
approach of an enemy.
