EARLY BASEBALL

The distinctively American game of
baseball had it's first crude beginnings
about 100 years ago and the first attempt
to develop the game is generally credited
to Abner Doubleday of Cooperstown, N.
Y, in 1889.
In the early days the ball was eX-
tremely 'fively," being made of two and
half ounces of rubber, covered with yarn
and leather, and scores ran high. In the
first intercollegiate game, between Am
herst and Williams colleges, on July l,
1859, Amherst won by the score Of 66 20
81. The game lasted &c innings, how
ever, and there were 13 players on each
side.
The first professional team was the
Cincinnati Red Stockings, organized as an
amateur club in 1866, and becoming Il
professional outfit in 1869. In that year
it made tour of the United States, meet
ing local amateur teams, winning Sc games
and tying one during the season, averaging
az runs per game, while its opponents
averaged 10.
The first pitcher to throw a curved
ball was Arthur Cummings, who nitro
duced the innovation in 1866.
The oldest professional baseball
league is the National League, organized
in 1876 with eight teams: New York,
Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, ST. Louis,
Cincinnati, Louisville and Hartford. The
American League was formed in 1900. the
original clubs being Chicago, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas
City. Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
In 1884 the first world series" was
played, when Providence, champions OF
the National League, defeated the Metro
politans of the old American Association,
winning three out of a series of five games

GREATEST BASSO DEAD

From Paris, France, came word few
days ago of the death of Feodor Chaliapin,
for many years recognized as the worlds
greatest operate basso, at the age of So.
His greatest artistic triumphs were
achieved as a member of the Metropolitan
Opera Company of New York.
Born in Kazan, Russia, of poor and
obscure parents on St. Valentines Day in
1873, Chaliapin began as a shoemaker's
apprentice, but early showed evidences of
the marvellous voice which was to thrill
music lovers throughout the world.
He joined an operetta company in his
native Russia at the age of II, and after
studying with capable masters made his
debut in grand opera at st. Petersburg
(now Leningrad) when %. He became a
member of the Metropolitan in 1906. and
also appeared i'm concert in numerous Am
eriean cities.
Chaliapin was an imposing figure ply
sically. being six feet four inches tall. He
was a prodigious consumer of food and
hard liquor. but his indulgences did not
appear to interfere with his artistic career,
although they may have shortened hts
life.
Among baSsos Chaliapin held a rank
comparable To that of Caruso among tenors
at the very top In his death the opera
tic and CONCERT stage suffers grievous
loss.

STREET SIGNS NEEDED

Visitors to Key West are experiencing
considerable difficulty locating the address
es of friends and relatives because many
of our streets are not marked by street
signs. Some of the markings on the curbs
identifying others of our streets have fad
ed and worn out. All in all it is pretty con-
fusing to strangers in attempting to find
their way around the city.
Our city council or the department of
public works should make the marking of
our streets an early order of business. Per-
haps the job might be handled by the
WPA, thus providing jobs for men handy
at lettering and painting and others adept
in the use of saw and hammer
In this connection the police depart
ment should be congratulated for the en-
terprise shown in the erection of street
markings on such thOrOughfares as White
head, Duval, SimOnton and Fleming streets.
The department is reported busy on stop
signs to be erected at blind intersections of
the through streets.

KEY LARGO

The largest key of Florida's chain
Is old Key Largo of pirates fame.
Here old Black Caesar brought
his ships,
Made merry and rested between
his trips.
Imbedded in the coral are the
ring bolts he used,
Made of pure iron and properly
fused.
Here at the entrance to Caesars
creek,
Prospectors come, his. gold to
seek.
On old Key Largo his plumber is
stored;
Mother Nature now has covered
the hoard.
Who knows but what, at some
future date,
Some luck one may find pieces
of eight.

Today is a red letter day in the
history of Florida. The day the
famous Tamiami Trail opens as a
through Highway across the
Everglades and linking up the
lower east and west coasts of the
state of Florida. Heretofore the
only way to cross the Everglades
has been by foot in dry weather
or by dugout canoe during the
rainy season. And only few
white men have made it either
way. Now it is possible to drive
across from coast to coast in three
hours or less, over one of the fin
est and one of the costliest roads
in the United States. A 30-foot
hard surfaced solid rock filled
highway the like of which is met
with nowhere else in the coun'
