BALL PLAYING IS VERY OLD SPORT Was Indulsed in Here 1000
 Years Ago

Springfield. Ill.,. June 12 R- Playing ball was America's national sport before Eric the Red discovered Greenland, and the baseball leagues of today are not very different from the. circuits that drew big crowds to ts games when Daniel Boone was, cutting his first teeth on bear claw necklace.
 Additional proof of this is found m the autobiography of Black Hawk last of the great Indian war chiefs who fought in Illinois. He told of the great ball games that used to be played among the tribes in the Mississippi Valley, and related that from 500 to 1000 persons often played on one side.
 Another feature, the autobiogra- phy relates, was the gambling which took place among the tribes. and in- lividual Indians on the outcome of he games. The red man often risk I'd all his worldly possessions in a wager on the home team.
 There may have been Indian Babe lsuths back in those days also, for Black Hawk told how each tribe or village had its favorite team. and said that to excel in the game brought distinction upon the player. The annual festival games in which the championship was decided were Of sufficient importance to bring every friendly tribe to the appointed meeting ground.
 A group of medicine men, agreed upon by the opposing sides, acted as unpires and prayed long and pub licly that they might administer i'm partially the rules of a contest which apparently involved all the major clements of the modern games of baseball. football, basketball, la- crosse and hockey.

BROWN SAYS HAT
NOT In ARENA

J. J. Brown, commissioner Of
agriculture, is not a candidate for
the governorship. This is emphat-
ically stated in letters which Mr..
Brown has addressed to President
]. Howard Ennis. of the senate, and
Speaker w. Cecil Neil, of the house
and which he has asked them to
have read, if possible, before both
houses this afternoon.
Mr.. Brown states in his letters
that they are called forth by an cdi-
torial which appeared in the Macon
Telegraph of July 81 which said
that the commissioner claimed "to
control the Georgia legislature"
and which also, he said, had "dis-
tortcd" his expression to make it
appear that he is candidate for
the govcrnorship.
"For this" says the commission
cr, "there is not the slightest
foundation" and the charge that
he "claims to control the legisla-
ture," he brands as wholly false"
and "a repetition of the unjust at
tacks that paper has been making
on me for the purpose of trying
to influence the legislature against
the agricultural department"
