Back in 1897 the Chicago National

major league record for runs scored.
But this year the Albuquerkue Dons

who is a keen follower of Baseball.
For the tenth time he told me of a

Back in 1872 John Hatfield, of

1910 Sheldon Lejeune. of Cincinna-
ti, set a new record of 426 feet, nine
and one-half inches.
Pepys, in his diary-, tells of having
seen the Duke of York playing golf.
That is evidence of the untiquity of
the game which is of Scotch origin
and was played in the lowlands of
Scotland as early as 1300.
Ball playing was popular in Egypt
•1,000 years ago and a leather ball has
been used ever since in almost every
country. Batting a ball is a mudern
invention.
Baseball originated at Cooperstown,
New York, in 1839. Rule- were first

In 1858 the first National Associa-

"Harry Painter pointed out that

buildings which we construct out of

we, in doing so, might be acting as a
private institution. If the state legis-

statutory powers, the federal govern-
ment may turn down our application
for a gift of 30 per cent of the amount
we are seeking—$600,000—on the
grounds that we are acting as a pri-
vate institution and nol entitled to the
federal gift."
