er of organized .baseball. Carfwright, who was born in New

York City in 1820, drew up the first Borton set of rules' and organized the tirsttsoston V ' V:,:;; V

baseball club, the New York Knickerbockers, which played the first game of organized baseball on June 19, 1846, at Elysian Fields, in Hoboken. The Knickerbockers- had been organized a year when the first game was played against a temporary club styling themselves the "New York Club." The game in those days went to the first team obtaining 21 "aces." The final score of the initial game wis 23 to 1 in favor of the "New York Club." Cartwright spent the first 27 years of his life in New York, where he was first employed in a broker's office, and later in a bank. He wa3 a member of a sporting club which played a f orm of baseball known as "rounders," 'tor variously as one-old-cat, two-old-cat, and townball, on a spot near where Madison Square Garden now stands. The growth of the city drov them to Murray Heights and later crowded them from there in 1845. It was then that Cartwright called a meeting of young men to consider hiring a playing field. A committee was formed and instructed Cartwright to draw up a set of rules

for the game. A few days later, under

bis direction .the Knickerbocker team

was formed. Elysian Fields was se

lected as a playing ground. On those grounds Cartwright 'drew a diamond on the dust, and explained the game he had formulated from the old gamo of rounders.

Taunht the Cam rnrnnt. f

Early in 1849 the gold rush to California started, and Cartwright heard the call. On March 1, 1849, he joined a party of adventurers who were crossing the plains. They proceeded

to Pittsburg, where during a stay while supplies were bought, he taught the game of baseball to the young men of the town. It was an Immediate success. During stops at St Louis and Independence, Mo., he also Introduced the game. . At Eoundary, just before starting on the long journey across plains and mountains, he wrote in his diary: "April 28 During the past week wo have passed the time in finishing the wagon covers, stowing away property, varied by hunting, fishing, swimming and playing baseball. I have the bail and the book of rules that we used in forming the Knickerbocker club back home." He carried the ball and the book of rules with him all the way on the long journey. When he arrived at Fort Sutter, where Sacramento, Califnow stands, on July 4, he wrote in his diary. "All I have is the clothes I am wearing, my journal, the original baseball, the book of baseball rules, my rifle and ammunition." He found time to introduce the game both at Fort Suiter and San Francisco. Honolulu Plays. During the trip he had suffered .great privation, and wa3 sick for a time. In San Francisco a physician advised him to go to the Sandwich islands for his health. So, on Aug. 17, 1843, he sailed for Honolulu, where he arrived, still carving his baseball

and book of rules. He introduced the game in the Hawaiian island ' In 1853 he returned to San Francisco, where he met his wife and children, who bad come around the Horn, and returned to Honolulu to settle permanently. He entered business for himself as a whaler's agent, and remained in the Islands until he died in 1892. His grave is in the Nuuanu cemetery there. It is marked by a small monument. His grandson is still a resident of that city. Lovers of tiie national snort in the Islands are now consider

ing some appropriate monument to thej father of the national game, to be; erected at his final resting place. j Sport historians believe that Cartwright's trip across the continent, afld his introduction of the game in cities from Atlantic to Pacific and even midPacific, has done much to give the pame the national character it has today. ! BOTH ST. LOUIS CLUBS TRUDGING UPWARD (By Associated Press NEW YORK, Aug. 1. St. Louis clubs in both major leagues today continued "trudging pennantward. i As Ken Williams poled out his 26th ' home run the Browns won from the Red Sox 6 to 2, and increased their lead over the Yankees, who lost another close tilt to the White Sox 3 to 2, to a game and a halt The Cardinals, finding Dutch Ruether, the Brooklyn ace, easy, marched on to another victory over the Dodgers and crept to within half a game of- the leaders when the Giants succumbed to the dashing, spirited attack of the Pirates and dropped the third straight contest to them 12 to 5. And the Cubs, still harboring pennant hopes, pounded an easy victory out of the Phillies, 13 to 5, thereby staving off the tantalizing Reds, who with Luque's combination of hitting and ' pitching, defeated the Braves, 6 to 3. A feature of the Cubs-Phillies games was the home runs of the Phillies. Williams, Lee and Henline each accounted for one. The White Sox victory over the Yankees kept them in third place ahead of Cobb's men who won another decision from Philadelphia 11

tn i Boss Cobb, in his last trip to

the plate, prodded a two bagger out of the ball and that hit brought to fifteen the1 consecutive number of games in which he has hit safely. Speaker hit his 7th home run of ithe season. His men were in a hitting mfw! tw and the Indians won from
