NO. 33-WAR AND BASE BALL.

Island, so it is recorded, Haw-
kins' Zouaves made the welkin
ring with their enthusiasm\ for
base ball.
And with this insistence of base
ball during war came also the
spread OF base ball interest in
other sections of the country
through the Army. Men of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin
looked on while the soldiers of
the east taught them the game.
In the federal prisons the Confed
crate soldiers from Georgia and
South Carolina watched and
learned. Thus. while professional
base bali was hard hit, new areas
were being opened up for re-
sumption Of the game after the
war.
At the time of the Spanish
American war, the Porto RicanS
and the natives OF Manila
watched the Army and the Navy
at the game and learned. During
