EAGLES INAUGURATE SEASON WITH VICTORY OVER ELWOOD NlflE Fete Minner was virtually the whole show "In the opening baseball game of the season Btaged by the Eagles' baseball team at Exhibition park Sunday afternoon when the local nine shut out the Elwood , Independents 5 to (L . Mlnner was on the mound for the locals and had the opposing batsmen at his mercy throughout the nine innings, not allowing a man to reach first during six innings xf play, but easing Up In the latter part of the fray. ' " ; Coupled - with his superb pitching, connected with thet hdrsehide for ?.ee hits, two-of which were doubles. uad lifted a sacrifice flys to right field which scored Ewbanks in the second inning. ' With weather made to order for a good baseball game the Eagles pried the lid of the baseball season with a bang, and the players state that they are out to give Richmond some of the best Independent baseball she has ever witnessed. Good Baseball Sunday's game wa3 good baseball. Not an error. was. committed by the Eagles. Of course the fact that Minner struck out 10 of the opposing batsmen let the fielders down easy, but when they, were given chances every one was handled in league style. Skirvin,-' Elwood hurler, had two bad innings) when he and his mates failed to play up to standard. These two innings showed that they had not practiced a lot this season. The Eagles chased two markers across in

(He second inning after an error put Ewbanks on first. Holmes followed with a scratch hit, Haas laid down a fielders' choice, Minner hit a long fly to center field scoring Ewbanks, and Holmes -crossed the pap when H. Logan boosted a fly to left" field. Fifth Unlucky The fifth, also, was an unlucky inning for Elwood. Burkett and Reddihghaus. the first two men up, scratched two singles and were advanced by a " sacrifice by Ewbanks. Roser was put. in as a pinch hitter for Holmes and connected for a nice single to center field which scored both runners. . Herb Iogan was the first man to worked him for a base on bails. Ha Mas the first man to fae Skirvin and worked him for a base on bals. He went to second on an error on Ray and drew up on third when Johhy Logan beat out a bunt. Burkett then hit a sacrifice fly which enabled Herb to cross the plate with the first tally Elwood made no serious threats to score except in the seventh inning. Kay, first man up in the seventh, fanned for his third time. Lewis and Skirvin both hit safely. Lewis was run down between third and home while trying to pull a double steal with Skirvin, and Colliers was thrown for the third out J. Logan to Burkett. Scores 10 Strike Outs. Minner scored 10 strike outs during the nine innings, and only two good hits were knocked off him The local club gives promise of landing out a first class brand of ball throughout the season. Manager Frank Denzelman states that he has several new players that he expects to give a chance in tryots this week. He states that no man is altogetehr sure of a place on the team, and that merit alor will determine who will represent the club. Some of the fastest teams in the state are being booked for games on the local lot. Richmond fans can count on having some real baseball this summer if the Eagles continue the pace set in Sunday's game. Next Sunday the Dayton Tellings will be the opponents of the local club.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

POUNCE ON RIXEY IN SIXTH FRAME AND GINGY LOSES CINCINNATI, O., April 25. Pouncing ' upon Eppa. Rixey in ' the sixth round, pounding; out four singles "and a walk aided by a double steal netted the Pirates five runs, enough td win the game with the Pittsburg Pirates on Redland field. Rixey's pitching was anything but effective, bis support saving him time after time in the first part of the game. The Reds hit Adams much harder than the score indicates but Ihey lacked the punch in the pinches. They had wonderful chances in the second and third rounds to score runs but they failed to deliver the necessary hits. Two infield mistakes helped pave the way for the Pittsburg rally in the sixth, Crane juggled a thrown ball in this room and Bohne overlooked a force out throwing his man out at first, allowing men in first and second to advance a base apiece. Outside of these two mistakes the fielding was very good and Rixey was saved time after time. Breaks Favor Pirates. Though the breaks seemed' to favor the Pirates, the Reds had several at times themselves. With two out In the first inning Maranville doubled to centeT and tried to come home on Cutshaw's drive to left but was cut down at the plate by Duncan's good throw. With one out in the second Bressler singled and went to third on Fonseca double but Bibgee took care of Crane's sharp liner to left and Rixey perished after Wingo -had been purposely passed. Adams again wobbled in the third but there was no one to take advantage of it. Daubert singled after one out, Bohne walked but the best Duncan could do was a fly to Carey. Bressler filled the bases by receiving a walk and Fonseca's effort was a weak fly to Grimm. Break In Sixth The break came in the sixth when Tierney led off with a single to right. Grimm's bunt went right into the hands of Rixey who threw to second but Crane in his haste to relay to first, juggled the ball and lost his man. y Schmidt then hit to Bohne who overlooked the forceout at third and threw his man out at firs.1. Adams and Bigbee singled and Carey walked. Eppa was then jerked and Brenton took bis place. Maranville greeted him with a single aid a double steal went through for the fifth and final score. Brenton was in command the rest of the game and not a man reached first after this round. The score: CINCINNATI AB. R. H. O. A. E.

Several different men are .credited with bringing it into existence. But the claim made by admirers of Abner Doubleday, of Coopers town, N. Y., is strongest. Although the game jvas played in a crude way before his time, Doubleday was the man who standardized it by drawing up a set of rules and designing a playing field. That was in 1839. The diamond which he outlined (called a "square" then) was the same in size as that used today. Since Doubleday mapped out the original rules, many changes have come in regulations' for playing thej game but the fundamental ones have remained intact. The following give a ! chronological story of baseball's exist I ence: i 1845. :The Knickerbocker, of New York, the first baseball organization, came into being. A standard set of rules was drawn up, including the fol lowing provisions: To be declared the " , n iiuu naa to "core 21 acres (run?) without recarrt in nmkA ' - o " J w uuuiuri hands (innings), but -each side had to play an equal number of hands (innings). The ball weighed three ounces. nome piate was made of iron. Pitching distance 45 feet. 1846. First match game played in Hotooken. N.

First baseball association was formed; game was divided into nine innings. 185S "Called" strikes introduced. Batsmen out when hall -ivns .ntht on fly or on first bound. Ibu9. Rale adopted. No player allowed to play who received money for services." 1862. Union Grounds, Brooklyn, opened May 15th, was first baseball enclosure. 1864. Al Reach was sold by Brooklyn to the Philadelphia Athletics'.. He was the first baseball ' slave'.. "Out on first, bound" rule abolished. 1S65. System of compiling averages introduced. 1866.
