TWO KILLED BY TRAIN
AT ODENTON CROSSING
Baltimore Men in Automobile
Truck Are Hit by Express on
Pennsylvania Road.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ODENTON. Nd. August I.-Two
men were instantly killed this morn
ing at Harman'e Station near mere.
when an automobile truck. in which
they were riding was struck by
Pennsylvania railroad express from
Washington, travelling at fast rate.
The bodies of the mon. James
Rurkett, 2703 West Fairmount avenue
Baltimore, and Edward Deaver. whose
Baltimore address Is unknown. were
mangled and thrown under a freight
car on a siding. Burkett was de-
capitated, and the body burned al
most beyond recognition by flames
that resulted from gasoline ex-
plosion.
The accident occurred shortly after
I o'clock. when Elsa Durner. the regu-
lar night watchman, was supposed
to be relieved by William Fl. San
ford, the day watchman.
The truck, which was owned by
the Maryland Ice Cream Company.
had lust made a delivery at store
in Harman's and had started up a
slight incline to cross the tracks. Be
cause of the grade and several build
ings the view OF the northbound
track was obstructed, and as Burkett,
who was driving. had been accus-
toned to seeing 4 watchman when
there was a train approaching, he
probably thought the track was clear.
The accident tied up trains in both
directions for about an hour.

BASEBALL IS AMERICAN PASTIME
Rx RoRERT |. RIPLEY

Baseball our national game--ls
thoroughly an American pastime,
even thoug hits inception may have
been the game of handball as played
in the old world. Baseball is Pc
culiarly American in character and
temperament, so it matters little that
ball playing was in vogue 1000 years
ago in Egypt. There are only two
truly American games anyway
basketball and lacrosse.
The first pictures of ball players
are those sculptured on the temple
Benz Hassan of tho twelfth Egyptian
dynasty. A leather-covered ball used
in games played along the Nile 40
centuries ago has place OF prom,
inence among the archaeological
gpecimens in the British museum in
London.
The ancient Greeks erected
statue to one Arisitonicus, the Bape
Ruth of antiquity. Aristonicus may
be said to be the first baseball star.
Ball playing in various forms was
popular among the Chinese and Hin
docs for centuries However, it is
proven fact that baseball, as we
know it, is of American origin.
In 1907, at the suggestion or A. y.
Spaulding, a commission was ap-
pointed to investigate the origin OF
the game. This committee was COM
posed of A G. Mills. Arthur = Cor
man, Morgan Bulkely, n. +. Young,
All j. Reach. George Wright, and
James E. Sullivan.
After thorough investigation tne
committee reported that:
Baseball had its origin IN the
United States.
"The first scheme for playing II
was devised by Abner Doubleday at
Cooperstown, n. Y. in 1882"
AS space is limited | will offer the
evolution of the game in condensed
form. Here is the history of an idea
conceived by Doubleday-a young
cadet from West Pointer the
amusement of few of his friends
in Cooperstown more than so years
ago. -,
