FATHER OF BASEBALL

The American national game of base
ball was born at Cooperstown, N. 4, 100
years ago, and 20-year-old West Point
cadet, Abner Doubleday, was its father.
Many changes in the rules have been made
since young Doubleday devised the game,
but its principles are still essentially the
same as those established by him in 1889.
J Claims in behalf of other men to the
title OF father of baseball have been
made, but painstaking Investigations into
the history of the gameshaye caused the
honor to be almost universally conceded
to Doubleday, and 1889 is being celebrated
as baseball's centennial year
Doubleday had distinguished mill
tary career after his graduation from the
United States Military Academy, rising to
the rank of major general.
He served in the First Artillery re-
giment during the Mexican War, partici-
pating in the battles of Monterey and
Buena Vista He was on duty at Fort
Sumter at the outbreak of the Civil War.
and in 1862 he was made brigadier gen-
eral of volunteers and placed in command
of the defenses of Washington He was
made a major general the same year and
fought in several major battles of the war.
At the battle of Gettysburg, General
Doubleday was for several hours in COM
mand of the Federal forces engaged in the
first days fighting.
He retired from active service In 1873,
and died in 1898 at the age of u. He had
lived to see the game he devised become
the most popular sport of the nation.

HIGHWAY TRAFFIC GAINS

Travel via Overseas Highway is gain
ing steadily, it is shown by the June opera
tons report just issued by Manager B. NJ.
Duncan of the Road and Toll Bridge Dis
trict. During June total of Z ,124 vehicles
of all descriptions and 10000 persons, in
Guiding drivers, passed through the toll
gates at Lower Matecumbe and Big Pine
Key. Persons using the highway went
above the number recorded in May.
Not all of the motor vehicle drivers
and passengers came to Key West. but Of
the total passing through the southbound
toll gate at Lower Matecumbe the great
majority came to the end Of the roadway.
That would mean an average Of 500 per-
sons probably entered Key West every day
during the month Of june
If it is estimated that each person
spent an average of ST the total expendi-
lures every day last month from this
source amounted to at least $780, In all
probability the average outlay of each per
son was considerably higher, for many ate
meals bought cigarettes, filled up with
gasoline and oil, if they did not stay to
take rooms and make other expenditures.
But just figuring the lowest probable aver
age, $500 day coming in over the high
way to be spent here, meant substantial
sum for Key West.
The bulk of this money is spent for
automobile supplies, meals, sandwiches,
drinks, rooms and similar requirements
of tourists and motor vehicle drivers Prin-
cipal beneficiaries would appear to be the
filling stations, restaurants, cafes, hotels,
roominghouses and other places of bust
ness, but the scores of Key Westers who
who work in these establishments enjoyed
part of the prosperity touching their en-
ployers.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce
has interested itself in the problem of
creating better recreational facilities so as
to induce the traveller to stay here longer.
The Jaycees are particularly interested in
a plan to provide temporary bathing
facilities until the city is able to establish
permanent municipal beach.
Why not enlist the aid of the hotels,
restaurants, apartment house operators,
roominghouses, filling stations and cafes
in this constructive program?l Several
businessmen have been heard lately to
state they would contribute some time and
money toward municipal bathing beach.
This suggestion appears to be worth the
study of such organizations as the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, since our city of
ficials appear to be uneoncerned about the
need for adequate beaches and bathing
facilities.

that county fee officers have been

some of them drawing more than
their lawful salaries, was formally
