"Was you e1Ter in Zinzenatte?" says
the Prince of Pilsen.
Well that's the town that put base
ball on the map. Properly it's the
hub of baseball, because it was the
first town of organized ball, or more
properly put, it was the first town Of
professional salary-paying baseball.
1t is the town that has rounded out
more baseball celebrities than any
other city in America. 1t can right
fully lay claim to Buck Ewing, Long
John Reilly and Charles Street, the
first human to catch baseball
dropped from the top of Washington
monument. This was in 1898, and but
one other, Billy Sullivan, was able to
accomplish the trick. Asa Brainerd,
one of the best pitchers Of his time
is another.
Just imagine the picture back in
1868, the Adonis of baseball, with long
flowing mutton-chop whiskers dallying
with his underhand delivery, an ex-
pert and the greatest exponent of
pitching of his time.
Adopted Uniform First.
And Cincinnati was the first club
to adopt the baseball uniform as we
know it. They formerly wore long
trousers, much after the pattern of
those worn by lawn tennis players
now.
The grand old man of baseball,
Charles COmiskey, was member of
the Reds in 1892, 1893 and 1894 This
is sufficient honor to make any club
noted, for Commy has done as much
as any other living man toward per-
petuating the game.

SOCCER FOOTBALL IN FAVOR
Receipts for Spurs and Villa Game
Amounted to S35 ,000-Crowd of

The popularity of soccer football In
England was again shown by the re-
ceipts for the Spurs and Villa game at
White Hart Lane recently which
amounted to nearly $4,000, a record
for any English cup game outside OF
the finals. In order that the crowd
might be in keeping with the accom-
mediation, Spurs made the price of
admission shillings, which kept the
attendance down to 1901.

SpitbaII Artist, Shunted From One

Allan Sothoron, spitball pitcher, is

the Browns had released him to Bos-

using him in three games, discovered
suddenly that his contract had not

turned him to st. Louis, he was sent
to Columbus. Before he could get into
action in the Association Iris Speaker
concluded he might be of use to the

Port Covington-all today within the
limits of the city of Baltimore.
Because of her zeal and loyalty,
Baltimore was singled out as the
target for British vengeance. On the
nth of June, 1914. newspaper pub
lished in London stated:
The great expedition preparing at
Bordeaux for America is destined for
the Chesapeake direct Our little army
in Canada win at the same instant be
directed to make a movement in the
direction Of the Susquehanna. Both
armies will in all probability meet at
Washington, Philadelphia, and Balti-
more. Our naval and military com
manders have no power to conclude
any armistice or suspension of arms.
They carry with them certain papers
which will be offered to the American
government at the point of the bayO-
net"
After the humiliating sack of Wash
ington, the British turned with re-
neWed anger TO attack Baltimore. to
which the helpless national govern
ment could offer no resistance.
The British, however, found strong
Notifications TO protect the city against
their attack. Gen. Samuel Smith, a
heroic revolutionary figure, with a
large force, had built Notifications over
a mile in length from the harbor as
far as the present Hopkins hospital.
Behind these were mounted over 100
cannon, with 10000 troops. The cit
liens rallied as one man under General
Smith and toiled day after day with
pick, shovel, and wheelbarrow until a
great armament greeted the British
when. after the Battle of North Point,
they arrived within sight of the city
and were compelled to retreat TO their
ships without a single shot. The
Americans were so eager for the en-
counter they could not await their
coming. When news reached General
Smith of the anchorage at North Point
of a British feet of so vessels, the
most formidable fleet ever seen in
American waters, Gen. Stricken asked
leave to advance with a brigade Of
1900 men to draw them on Those
men who landed ON the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1914, were picked soldiers of Eu-
rope, the Duke of Wellington's In
vincibles and Lord Nelson's victorious
marines, fresh from Napoleonic wars.
The Americans marched braveIy for
ward 10 meet the conquerors Of Ma
poleon on the battlefield Of North
Point. General Ross, with 1000 men,
tarried to lunch. General Stricken, with
800 voluntary skirmish party, advanced
10 draw them on. General Ross, believ-
ing it incredible that the new repub-
lie should have men so fearless as to
advance against his British forces,
proceeded to investigate, VIXEN ne was
shot down by American rifleInen, and
the command fell to Colonel Brooke. A
monument today stands for the two
young men in Baltimore who brought
down General Ross. For an hour and
half the raw militia Of the States held
in check the veteran army numbering
four times its strength. The day closed
with a loss TO che British of 500, as
against $50 of the militiamen, only 20
of the latter being killed, the others
wounded or disabled. Thus was fought

the battle of North Point and the re-
tirement of the British to their ships.
1t was this matchless defense that
saved the nation and checked the pro
posed attack upon Philadelphia and
New York.
Then took place the attack upon the
historical Fort McHeary; is bomb
and-rocket vessels bombarded the fort,
throwing a constant shower of rock
cts and bombs, the later weighing 90
pounds. Colonel Armisted, in command
Of the fort, was unable to reaclf them
/ except on one or two occasions when
/ they came nearer. AS the army was
retreating, a more severe lombard
ment than before was executed. I'm
der the cover of darkness, as a last
resort, several rocket vessels and
burgess. with 1850 picked men, passed
south of Fort McHenry and attempted
to land. After passing the fort they
threw up rockets of rejoicing and to
light a landing place. This, however,
was their undoing, and caused Com
modore Rogers 'inyincible crew" at
Fort Covington. under Lieutenant New
connie and Barney's fiotilla men, I'M
der Lieut. John Webster, at Fort Bah
cock, to pour into them a pitiless fire,
sinking one barge with all on board
and compelling the rest to retire. The
enemy retired badly damaged under
the fire from Fort McHenry and the
Lazaretto AT a safe distance they
continued to lombard Fort McHenry
until morning. The bombardment
lasted for % hours, and they are said
to have thrown 1900 to 1900 great
bombs, 400 of which landed In Fort
NcHenry.
DR.. William Beanes, who had en-
countered the displeasure of the Brit
ish at Upper Marlboro, in their march
upon Washington, had been carried off
In their feet. He was a particularly
close friend of Francis Scott Key, who
visited the fleet at Baltimore to seek
the release of his friend Having
boarded the Minden, one of the ships
Of the fleet, the British compelled him
TO remain until after the bOmbardment.
There he was during that memorable
night when Fort McHenry was being
so terribly assaulted. We can well
imagine his anxiety as TO the fate of
the fort and the attack to be made
upon the city wherein resided his fam
lily and loved ones. He and his friend
paced the deck during that night of
September 10. The bcmbardment
ceased just before day. So long as
The bombardment continued they knew
the fort had not surrendered, but when
it ceased before daylight it left them
in great suspense as to the result. We
may well imagine how earnestly they
looked forward to dawn and sufficient
light to relieve their anxiety. How
happy they must have been when they
saw that "the flag was still there"
Key was stirred to the depths by pa
triotic fervor and devotion, and there
wrote his song Of rejoicing, THE Star
Spangled Banner"
The memory Of the old flag which
saluted Key on that morning Of Sep
TENDER ID, 1914, still lives In the
hearts Of the people, and the flag IS
stored in the archives Of the govern
ment.

"hefe and how of its writing?
The citizens of Baltimore staged an
Impressive pageant of the centenary
or the Battle Of North Point and Fort
MoBenry during the week of Septem-
Ter II, 1914. Congress appropriated
$1,000 for the erection of a monu-
ment to Key, this monument to be
dedicated this summer with appropri-
ate ceremonies. 1t is therefore timely
to recall the stirring events which led
to the writing of this immortal SON..
Representative j. Charles Linthicum
Of Maryland in a recent speech in the
house reviewed those events and said,
among other things:
Mr. Linthicum-This monument now
to be dedicated by the national gov
eminent to that immortal poet is but
fitting tribute from the government
to my native state of Maryland for
the heroism, generosity and support
of its people during the troublous
times of 1912.
To the strong support of Maryland,
and particularly of its metropolis, Bal
timore, is largely due the successful
termination of that war. 1t was
Baltimore man-Minister Pinckney-
who asked for his leave of England,
and was made Attorney General of the
United States, and wrote the declara-
ton of war.
Maryland gave TO the war more off,
GERS, ships, and seamen than any other
state. She supplied 46 officers, or
nearly one-fifth Of all the officers, Of
the American navy. Virginia supplied
AZ, which was more than all New Eng
land. Baltimore supplied 81 privateers;
Salem, 30; Boston, 80; and Philadel-
phia, IA; and the state of Maryland
equipped over 100 privateers in all. 1t
Is estimated that the loss to England's
commerce by the Baltimore privateer
captures alone was over $16,000,0 900.
1t was Commodore John Rogers of
Baltimore, who commanded the North
Atlantic squadron, and stephen De
catur, Jr., native of Berlin, Nd, who
commanded the South Atlantic squad
ron. 1t was Commodore Rogers Of
Maryland on the flagship The Presi-
dent who personally fired the first shot
of the war at the British ship Bel
vedira. 1t was a Chesapeake crew,
commanding the Constitution, better
known as Old Ironsides, which cap
tured the first frigate Guerrero.
The merchants Of Baltimore loaned
to the national government 100000,
which was later assumed by the city
of Baltimore, and became its first
municipal debt. Finding no part of
this fund available for the defense Of
the city, Baltimore nised 100000 adj
ditional with which TO fOrtify Fort
McHenry, Fort Babcock-now River
