"CHAMPION VOLLEYBALL TEAM PLAYS HERE SATURDAY-BIG BOXING CARD FOR FRIDAY
When National Game Was
) Given Start in New York
/ Scores Were Different
Whether the national game of the
United Aitates was or was not devel
oped fom "rounders" may remain
a disputed question. Certain it is
that whfen it was first regularly or
ganized lbaseball was a far different
game frfcm what it is to-day.
It was\74 years ago, on September
23. 1845, ithat the first baseball club
In the Üblted States, and therefore,
of course lin the world, was organized.
It was located in New York, and the
organizer! of it were Alexander* J.
.CartwrlghV, chairman; Duncan F.
Curry, E. JR. Dupuignac, Jr., W. H.
Tucker, amd W. R. Wheaton. It was
called thfe Knickerbocker Baseball
Club of NeVr York, Another club call
ed the NetA York Nine was organized
shortly afteVward, and the next sea
son, the sumimer of 1846, these two
clubs played! the first game of base
ball ever playted between two regular
organizations] The game was played
at the Elysianv Fields, Hoboken, N. J.,
then perhaps ithe chief pleasure re
sort of New Yforkers.
Scores Different
In these days.i when the excellence
of games is suppiosed to be measured
by the fewness \>f runs scored, and
when winning scAres of 1 to 0 are
not unknown and jare highly esteem
ed. It is interesting to recall that in

Edison High Wants Game;
Team Is Showing Form
All the players who participated in
Saturday's game came through with
out injury. Last evening Coach
Miller put the squad through a very
lively scrimmage on the field at Sev
enteenth and Chestnut. The coach
wishes to strengthen the line and to
improve the running of interfer
ence. "With this in view he had one
team line up against all the other
fellows who reported for practtce.
Although the line was outnumbered
it held well.
Owing to a rearrangement of the
schedule the manager, Roswell Lyons
•finds that he has an open date for
the coming Saturday and is trying to
schedule a game for either Saturday
morning at home or Saturday after
noon away from home. The man
jager is also trying to arrange some
games for the scrubs. He is trying
to get teams to play against the
scrubs that will average about one
hundred and twenty pounds.

WEDNESDAY EVENING
those early days a very different rule
prevailed. Instead of the game being
won by the team which scored the
most runs in nine innings, it was won
by the team which first scored twen
ty-one runs to win a game. Some
times that number was scored in
three or four innings, sometimes, in
deed in a single inning.
Games Were Long
On the other hand, a game was
some times prolonged for four or
five hours, through 30 or 40 innings,
before the requisite number of runs
was scored. It was because of this
uncertainty as to the length of the
game that the rules were after some
years radically altered. Because there
were nine players on each side, nine
was the number of innings determined
upon to constitute a game.
With tlia regulation in early years
enormous scores were not uncommon,
teams sometimes rolling up 35 or 40
runs, or even more, in nine innings.
Those were the days before scientific
pitching, with its puzzling curves,
was invented and batters were able to
"swat the ball all over the lot."
It may be added to complete the
record that the first game between
organized clubs, at Hoboken in 1846,
was won by the Knickerbockers over
tho New York Nine by the score of
21 to 1.

Woman Wins Trophy hut
Has Trouble in Getting It
Several years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Ad. Topperwein. then, as now. dem
onstrating the efficiency of the shot
gun and rifle for' the Winchester
Arms Company, were Invited to par
ticipate in the National Rifle
Matches at Sea Girt, N. J.
The Invitation was accepted and
in due course of time Mr. and Mrs.
Topperwein arrived at the New
Jersey range and from that time on
Mrs. Topperwein was the sensation
of the meet. Never before had a
woman tried to shoot the Army rifle
on the 200, 300 and 500 yard ranges.
It was a thing totally unheard of—
but that wasn't the real big noise.
That came later when the scores
wePb tabulated and Mrs. Topperwein
was discovered to have made tho
best scores.
When Mrs. Topperweln was In
vited shoot the executive officer
didn't figure for a minute that she
would win, and when her score was
posted as the best the officer was in
a quandary. The regulations said
that trophies would be given to the
men, etc., but nary a word about j
women. 1
So the marksmanship trophy was
withheld while the commanding of
ficer took up the question with the
War department and President
Roosevelt. The President in his
usual characteristic wav settled the
matter quickly. He told the com
manding officer that if Mrs. Topper
wein was good enough to defeat the
men. she was pood enough to get the
trophy, and that to present it to
her at once.

GETTYSBURG HAS
FOUR HARD GAMES
Most' Important Battle Will
Be With Bucknell in
Harrisburg
Gettysburg, Oct. 22.—With Ursinus
conquered by a 14-0 score, Gettys
burg has disposed of the first of her
five greatest rival teams to be met
this season, but from all indications
the other four, namely, Dickinson,
Villanova, Bucknell and Franklin
and Marshall will not be defeated so
readily.
Dickinson will be played at Car
lisle on November 1 and if Gettys
burg can win this game In a de
cisive manner, the chance 3 will be
exceptionally bright for the Buck
nell Contest which looms up as the
most formidable of the year.
Play Best Game Here
Gettysburg thought their defeat
of holding Penn Sta'e scoreless in
the first half was exceptional, but
Bucknell lost only 9-0, while the
Battlefield Boys were downed 33-0.
Bucknell knows, however, that com
parative scores count for nothing

risburg for it is on that field that
the locals usually play their greatest
game of the year and then display
their poorest exhibition against
Franklin and Marshall, at Lancas
ter, on Thanksgiving Day.
Cornell's Defeat Was Tonic
For Ithacan Grid Team
Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 22.—Cornell's
sharp reverse at the hands of Col
gate is proving a tonic, not a knock
out. Though unexpected, at least in
such a decisive fashion, the defeat of
the Red eleven by the Maroons has
proved a very solutary lesson to the
Cornell squad and coaches and the
partisan of the eleven, who are go
ing to New York by trainloads to
cheer for the team in the Dartmouth
game on the Polo Grounds, Saturday,
are confident of a complete re
versal in form and fighting power
by the Big Red team.
In tho Colgate game the green Cor
nell eleven was subjected to a heart
breaking test that revealed many
weaknesses of individual and team
defense, but this did not break the
team spirits. They fought to the last
ditch, and with such a spirit and a
week's grinding work in long and
gruelling scrimmages, the coaches
are hopeful that Cornell will "come
back" strong against the Dartmouth
team, and give ample evidence that
the team has finally got together.
