Born in 1819 in New York, gfit
Abner Doubleday is usually
credited with inventing
baseball However, more 'j ‘
recent studies reveal that '
he may have come up with
the rules for baseball, but he
really didn’t invent the game
Batter Up!
Although legend has it that
Doubleday invented baseball m
Cooperstown, New York, baseball historians do
not agree Some say Doubleday never even visited
Cooperstown, which is now the home of the
Baseball Hall of Fame
Those who have studied it believe that baseball
came from ball-and-stick games all over the
world, and that one person cannot be named
as the inventor. The Russian game lapta—along
with the English games paddleball, trap ball,
rounders and town ball —may have all made
baseball what it is today
Whether or not he invented baseball, Doubleday
led a full life. Before entering West Point,
Doubleday was a civil engineer He graduated
from West Point in 1842 Doubleday served in
the Mexican War from 1846 to 1848 and in the
Seminole War in Florida from 1856 to 1858 He was
even at Fort Sumter when the first shots of the
Civil War were fired
Rising Water
Because It can happen
In every state, flooding
is the most common natural
hazard In the United States
Flooding can happen when
it rains too much, rivers
overflow snow melts too fast
ocean waves come on shore
or dams break Whether it’s
only a few inches or it covers
a house. It's still known as flooding
If there is a chance for flooding where you live, here are
some things you can do
• Flood water may be contaminated
Stay away from it
• Do not go near power lines on the
ground You could be electrocuted
• Because it can knock you off your feet,
do not walk through moving water
• If you have to walk through water, use
a stick to test how deep the water is in
front of you
• Keep a battery-powered radio with you
• If you can. move valuable items to a
higher floor in your home
• Don’t forget your pets
• If there is time, move garden
furniture inside
Talk to an adult about what the flood means, what you
should do and how you can help For more information
