Ut WAS in the reception room of a
club house in an inland city,
u where the two young men had
met by chance that evening. There
was a stuffy prOfusion of leather fur
niture in the room that gave it
heavy cast. Men were talking in
knots of two or three apparently
on business, and when an outsider
entered group, conversation was dis
tinctly and painfully suspended or
Jagged in cold fOrmalitieS until he had
drifted away. The men there were
clearly business men, and were there
by business appointment, and the ele-
ment of SOciabiIity was manifested
only in the click of the billiard balls
that echoed in from some invisible
rear room, where the younger men,
too tired to 20 to the theater, or to
the evening gathering with their wives

counted miles after the ivory balls.
} 1t was a brisk autumn evening, and
the clock on the mantel was striking
eight when two young men pulled
their fat chairs to the window, where
they could see the theater-goerS hur-
rying by under the arc light, and where
they might not be Interrupted.

In 185l-and it was then twelve
years since the first diamond was
laid out for a game-the Knicker-
bockers of New York came upon
the field wearing blue trousers,
white shirts and straw hats.
They played a game not cramped
into nine innings, but dependent
on which side first scored twenty
one runs. This club had framed
the rules for what was then pop
ularly known as the New York
game. They disapproved OF the
soaking OF base runners which
was allowed in the New England
game-that is, hitting a runner
with the ball. But they recog-
nized that a man was out on a
ball caught on a bounce!
1t was the Knickerbockers who
became the first organized base
BAH club in the world. This hap
pened in 1915. though they had
been playing practice games since
1872 1t was they also who i'll
1857 called the, first convention of
existing clubs--the forerunner OF
the modern league. But, like all
pioneers. they served their pur-
pose and then became handicap
to the game. They soon gave
place to the Exeelsiors of Brook
lyn, the first team to go on tour,
in 1860
The Knickerbockers were or
ganized in the spirit of a cricket
team. They were gentlemen play
ing ball; they did not watch the
spread of the game with much
enthusiasm; they were not eager
to play ball with any one and
every one. They stood in the

FIRST BASE HOLE
WORRY|NGP|L
Problem Confronts Browns,
Cubs, FhiIIies and the
Two Boston Teams.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, November Z
N Where to get a good first
baseman for 1924 is a prob
lem that probably is worrying as
many big league managers just now
as any question about the coming
base ball season. The crop OF Al
first sackers seems to be petering
out.
The St. Louis Americans, for in
stance, like to think that Sister will
be able to play for them next year.
Many base ball fans of other cities
hope the club is not foo,ing itself,
Tor Sisler IS popular.
Yet it will be a recovery beyond the
average If Sisters eyesight returns
to normal, and. if 1t does not ST.
Louis will have to trust again to-
Schliehner. who does not begin to fill
the hole that is made in the team
when Sisler is out
The St Louis Nationals, in Bottom
ley, have one OF the few excellent
hrst basemen in captivity. and per-
maps a half dozen clubs have an in
tereSted eye on him. But where is
him If the Cards let him go.
Cincinnati probably will sign Dau-
bert again. but if he is in as hard
luck physically as he was in 1923
the Reds Will have to get something
more enduring if they expect to win
q peunant.
Pirates to Stand Pat.
Pittsburgh will stand pat with

plays a really remarkable game. but
the Sox must la put down as in need
of more speed at first
Detroit is better off than its west
ern rivals with Blue. who is the best
first baseman in the western half of
the American League Brewer of
fault of almost all the first basemen
who finished the season Of 1923.
The Philadelphia Nationals will
have to begin looking for a first
baseman one of these days soon, be
cause Holke has been playing for
lively young, has passed the meridian.
The Athletics have Hauser, who
should be better than he was in 1923.
Judge VIII Stay Here
Judge of Washington is reported to
have wanted to get away from that
club more than once. but seems likely
to end his big league career there.
If Washington ever made itself a
steady frst-division contender Judge
would be a better first baSeman than
he has ever been.
Brooklyn. in Fournier. has a player
who really is too slow for major league
ball, but he hit so hard in 1923 that
he was a big help to a team slow in
other ways.
Both of the Boston clubs have first
basemen who are not likely ever TO
be any better, and neither of whom
is as agile as the modern first base
man should be.
Kelly and Pipp Of the New York
clubs have been as good as they ever
will be, but both fit well with combi-
nations that have possibilities for
1924, so they are valuable men.

In my opinion Walters failure to
beat me can be attributed to the fact
that at critical iuncture his club
slipped in his hands, which were
damp with perspiration.

not have seemed so important to
Walter or the gallery, because, not

a comfortable lead over me. But to
me it was vital in the extreme, a

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER

Applicants for Insurance Often
 Reflected

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing influ- ence of Dr. Kllmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. If stands the highest for it's remarkable record of sue cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing state mont that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the diseaGa. pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bot ties of two sizes, medium and large.
