The History of Baseball —No. 2 ‘ROUND BALL' GAVE IDEA FOR BASEBALL

This is the second of a series on the history of baseball, tracing its advance through a century. BY GEORGE C. MORELAND Written for NEA Service (Copyright. 1930. by NEA Service. Inc.i BASEBALL had its birth in the game of “Aunty Over," as I explained in yesterday’s article. It had its first development when some lad, instead of catching the ball as it came soaring over, decided to hit it with a stick. After “Aunty Over” came the game of “Round Ball,” says General Doubleday, the great authority on the history of the national game. Now “Round Ball” doesn't much resemble modem baseball. But it was played with a ball, a bat and bases, and it is baseball’s real starting point. Here is the way General Doubleday described it: “The bases were called posts. There were four of them, real posts stuck in the ground, about three feet high, arranged in the form of a square and numbered one, two, three and four, in rotation. Number four was what we now call the home plate.

“However, the batter—the boys then called him ‘the striker’—did not stand at home plate, or at the fourth base as they called it. He stood halfway between fourth and first, facing toward the middle of the square. “The ‘tosser,’ ancestor of the modem pitcher, stood inside the square, about fifteen feet away from him. I should add, here, that there was no rule about the distance between the posts; it depended chiefly on the size of the vacant lot or field the kids had to play in.

a u u “'T’4HE tosser threw the ball unX derhand. not very hard. The striker's bat was a long stick, with a flat surface at the end. “He swung it with one hand, and if he failed to hit the ball with his first strike he was out—provided that the catcher, stationed some twenty feet behind him, caught the ball either in the air or on first bounce. “Round ball had infielders and outfielders, only the infielders were called ‘postmen’ and the outfielders were called ‘scouts.’ When the striker hit the ball he ran for first base, just as in modern baseball, and went on to the other bases if he could, scoring when he reached fourth base. “He was out if one of the postmen or scouts caught the ball in the air or on first bounce, or if any of the players could hit him or touch him with it while he was between the hosts. “Regardless of the number of men in the field, there were only three batters, and if the first batter failed to score from third on the last batter’s effort he was out. mu a “'T'HE expression, ‘out,’ by the JL way, came from the fact that the striker went ‘out’ to the field when nis hit was caught or he was tagged between the bases. “There was no rotation, as there is in the modem kids’ game of scrub; the player who made the putout came in to bat, and the batter who had been put out replaced him in the field. "Thus, obviously, it wasn’t a team affair. It was strictly gn in-

Louisville Cops Flag Colonels Become Champs While Losing to Indians; Play Ends Sunday. Bu Times Special LOUISVILLE, Sept. 20.—The pennant race is over in the A. A. and A1 Sothoron’s Colonels are the new champions by virtue of the fact they have a lead of three games and only two are left to play. The Friday struggle here saw the Louisville pastimers defeated by the last-place Indians, but St. Paul, in second position, also lost at Kansas City and was eliminated. The “little world’s series” with Rochester, International League champions, will open, in Rochester next Wednesday. Indianapolis defeated Rochester in the 1928 AA play-off and Kansas City defeated the Red Wings last year. Louisville went to the front at the start of the Hickey loop campaign this season and retained the lead throughout. Indians and Colonels were to meet in the third tilt of the final series today and on Sunday the season will be concluded. Bill Burwell hurled for the Hoosiers Friday and although hit freely he was able to nose out three Colonel flingers. The Indians will return to Indianapolis Sunday night and remain together for an exhibition with the Chicago White Sox at Washington park Monday night. Friday's score:

founded and pre-season estimates have made the Purple an even favorite for laurels. Coach Dick Hanley has a powerful squad, his ability as a coach is unquestioned and after three years of misfortune the Wildcats should be due to receive good breaks in luck. Summarized briefly, Northwestern has: AU but one loan of last year’s strong back field. All but two regulars of the 1929 line, rated as one of the strongest in the conference. Captain Hank Bruder recovered from his injuries. Several potential stars among the new men. Captain Hank Bruder is expected to be the star of the Northwestern back field.

dividual game, each man for himself, There was no umpire, majority rule settling all disputed questions. “The posts, by the way, that did duty for bases usually had little flags on top; because these fields where the game was played often had such long grass that otherwise the posts could not have been seen easily.” So baseball got its start, a century ago, tracing its ancestry back to “round ball” and thence to that game of “aunty over.” It all started when that Boston kid discovered how much fun it is to hit a ball with a bat. But just suppose that lad had missed! NEXT—Choosing up sides.

seasons, but in both he was injured early in the year and was out of most of the big games. Hanley has declared that Bruder is the best back field man he ever had seen. If Bruder escapes his injury jinx he is certain to hold down one half back position. Les Hanley, brother of the coach, again has first call on the quarter back post. A trio of lettermen, A1 Moore, Sid Burnstein and Bill Griffin, are competing for the other half back post. “Pug” Rentner, 190-pound sophomore, is the leading candidate for full back, with “Reb” Russell, former Nebraska university letterman, as his chief rival. In the line Hanley has the services of his 1929 regular ends and tackles, Frank Baker and Larry Oliphant at ends and Dallas Marvil and Jack Riley at tackle. Red Woodworth Is back at his 1929 guard berth with Jimmy Evans and Ralph Haug, who won letters last year, and Clif Kinderan, reserve, fighting for the berth vacated by Henry Andersen. Mickey Erickson, all-conference center, is missing, but Red Clark who was his understudy for two years promises to fill the vacancy satisfactorily.

Jones Perfects Shots for Amateur Battle Bobby Not Attempting Par-Shattering Rounds, but Seriously Trying to Perfect Game; Atlantan Anxious to Capture Fourth Crown of Year. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent MERION CRICKET CLUB, ARDMORE. Pa, Sept. 20.—Leaving the business of par-shattering practice rounds to the lesser lights at Merlon, Bobby Jones is going very seriously about his preparations for the forthcoming amateur championship. The Atlantan, who is seeking his fourth major golf title of the year, a record never before approached, is making no attempt at spectacular scoring but is attempting to bring his game back to that fine point of perfection which will insure him eventual victory.

Unlike a year ago, when he burnt up the trying Pebble Beach course in practice only to be eliminated in the first round of match play. Bob is devoting himself assiduously to “pointing” for next week's championship. His scores—and casual opinions that he is off his gamemean nothing to him. Bobby Is Anxious Jones admits that he wants to win this championship more than any other in which he ever has competed. If he can do so, he will be open and amateur champion of the United States and Great Britain with no golfing worlds left to conquer. Moreover, many of his friends in Atlanta will collect from Lloyd's, the famous English . insurance agency, at the juicy odds of 50 to 1, laid last spring before he went abroad to triumph at Hoylake and Sandwich. Always Laconic and never inclined to discuss his chances in advance, Bob said Friday night that reports that he w r as not in the best of physical condition were entirely without foundation. “I’ll be ready to go when they call my name on Monday,” he said, “aside from that I’m not making any predictions or promises.” Dunlap Equals Record .Some indication of what Merion must be prepared for in the w r ay of galleries next w'eek has been furnished during the last two days. The onlookers W’ere so numerous on Thursday and Friday that Jones stole aw r ay and played Pine Valley Friday with Jess Sweetzer, Cyril Tolley and Tommy Bourn. With Bobby absent Friday, the day’s honors went to young Gibson Dunlap of Los Angeles. Dunlap shot a 67 to equal the long-stand-ing record established by Chunky Bucky Corkran six years ago.
