COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
UTILITIES RULING

The district convention Of county
commissioners held recently at Ouray
placed itself ON record as being op.
posed to the decision made by the
Public Utilities Commission limiting
the use of the public roads. In an
other resolution they upheld the re-
Gently convicted commissioners of
Gunnison county, stating that they
believe that the convicted men acted
in good faith and are entirely honest.
The resolutions were signed by a
committee consisting of Milton r.
WEIGH, chairman; T. W. Mcneil, sec
rotary; George B. Croft; w. U. Mer-
gelman; R. P. Coulter and J. w. Shy.
The resolution in regard to the use
of the roads is given below.
Whereas, The Public Utilities Com
mission of the State of Colorado. in
our opinion, has attempted to usurp
powers which is sustained, threaten
the very foundation of our Constitu-
ton, and will destroy the work, so
far performed in the line Of good
roads. Therefore
We protest the right OF this ap-
pointive body to take any jurisdiction
over the use of the public roads OF
Colorado, and we cali upon the At
torney General of the State of Colo
RADIO to institute proceedings to set
aside the findings of that body, grant
ing to the white Bus" line, or any
other transportation line, franchise
on the roads of Colorado.
We, at this time. feel it necessary
to point out to the people of the
State of Colorado, the fact that the
trucks and the automobiles are the
agencies which demand road mainten-
ance, upkeep and repair. That funds
for this work by the state were cur
tailed by the last Legislature. That
Colorado has the lowest average
truck and auto license of any state
in the Union. That it is absolutely
necessary that autos and trucks shall
pay their just part in maintenance
which is fixed expense for all time
Therefore, we feel it but Just that
the people know that the last legisla-
ture defeated a truck and auto law.
at the request of the organized auto
mobile dealers, which law was based
on the results of study of auto and
truck laws of all the states of the
Union.
We want to call the attention of
the people who are asking tax re-
duction, that for six years the State
Association of County Commissioners
has worked to have a State Bonding
law. of County, Municipal and State
officers, which law, had it been pass
ed, at the time presented, would to-
day be self-sustaining, and save an
average of $4,000 per year to the
State of Colorado.
This has been defeated by the in
surance men of Colorado.
1t is up to the people to uphold
those members who voted for this
measure, and to condemn those who
defeated it

WHERE BASEBALL WAS BORN

Where was baseball born? Several
cities have claimed the honor. There is
much dispute as to when, where and by
whom baseball was first played. But base
ball historians are generally agreed upon
two facts. The first of these is that mod
ern baseball was born seventy-seven years
ago The second is that it was born at
Hoboken, the Mle-Square city of Hud-
son County, N. J.
Seventy-seven years ago baseball could
have been played in almost any part of
Hoboken. There was vacant land in
abundance. Today baseball is practical
ly out of the question. The fields have
become row upon row of brick and iron.
Right in that is the history of the growth
of city.
Several cities have claimed the honor
as the birthplace of baseball. Boston says
that game called "New England" was
the forerunner of the game as it is known
today. Philadelphia says no, "town ball
game, it is said, was played by an or
ganized club, Olympics, as far back as
1888 in Philadel phia. The early game of
"rounders" was an earlier phase of the
same game.
The real home of baseball, when all is
said and done, is Hoboken. 1t was there
that-seventy-seven years ago-the first
bona fde baseball game between clubs
was played. The contenders were the
Knickerbockers and the New York City,
and the game was played on the Elysian
Fields. That was on June IA, 1916. The
Elysian Fields are now the city of Ho-
bcken. The Knickerbockers were organ
lied in New York in September 1S4s.
They were the first to formulate playing
rules.
The New Yorks organized little later
and adopted the same code. Both of those
clubs played several games with scrub
teams, picked up from among the specta-
tors, before they faced each other on that
June in 1916.
Under the rules that obtained at that
time the first team to make twenty-one
runs was the victor. The game lasted
four innings the Knickerbockers winning,
but history does not record the score of
their opponents.
The Knickerbockers found their first
real rivals in the Gothams, organized in
1850, and the Greenpoint Eckfords and
the Morrsania Unions, organized in 1855.
The Olympics, of Philadelphia, early
adopted the New York game, and the
Athletics, Keystones and Quaker Citys
later fought for supremacy, while in Bos-
ton the Olympics were organized in 1854,
and little later the Elm Trees disputed
honors with the pioneers.-Selected.
