Crack of Baseball Bat
18 Heard in Many Lands
Even Britain Takes Up Our
National Game.
Washington .—Baseball has invaded
Great ^ Britain, and the ancient reign
of cricket is reported to be threat¬
ened. Scotland and England played
their first international game recently,
the Scots winning an easy victory of
24-3. Growing Interest in baseball in
Britain recalls the attempt of the
Boston and Philadelphia teams to in¬
troduce the game abroad 60 years ago.
Fourteen games played on British soil
were courteously attended, but real
enthusiasm was still reserved for
cricket matches.
“The great American game has wan¬
dered far afield since 1839, when Ab¬
ner Doubleday laid out tiie world's
first diamond in a vacant lot at Coop-
erstown, N. Y.,” says a bulletin from
the National Geographic society.
“In both Canada and Cuba it is the
favorite outdoor sport. The wiry lit¬
tle Cubans make excellent players, and
many of our professionals are recruit¬
ed there. They have adopted our
slang together with the game, and
shout ‘pie bol,’ ‘homron,’ ‘fou bol,’ with
Latin excitability. In Sonora, Mexico,
the stadium is superseding the arena.
Enthusiastic fans fill the bleachers at
Guaymas, although bull-fighting is con¬
tinued out of respect for tradition.
Take Game Along.
"Wherever Americans have settled
baseball is played. The Igorot boys
of Luzon are keen supporters of their
local teams. Entering the harbor of
Pago Pago, Samoa, the first thing one
sees through the palms along the shore
is an immaculate baseball diamond.
Puerto ltico and Hawaii have their en¬
thusiastic fans. In Soviet Russia,
American Ambassador Bullitt has or¬
dered bats and halls from this coun¬
try, and two embassy nines are ready
to show Moscow how the game should
be played.
“Even the deliberate East has
learned to steal bases. Girls’ schools
in China and Turkey have their teams.
“One writer describes a game he
watched beside the Bosporus—‘Fatima
at the bat’ on the diamond of Con¬
stantinople Women’s college.
“Japanese schools and universities
soon adopted the game. The intercol¬
legiate contests are Japan's world se¬
ries. Tiie Meiji Shrine grounds—
Tokyo’s lurgest stadium—holds 80,000,
and the crowd which gathers to
Waseda play Keio rivals the throng at
a Yale-Harvard football game. Pro¬
fessionalism has not yet reached Ja¬
pan, so the sport which lias replaced
wrestling as the national game, re¬
mains a purely amateur one.
“It is fitting that baseball should re¬
turn to England because one of its
immediate ancestors was the English
Sees Decline in Fatal Truck Accidents
-
National Safety Council Re¬
ports Fewer Fatalities.
Cleveland, Ohio.—Following a report
by the National Safety council that
fatal accidents involving passenger
cars have increased 38 per cent while
truck accidents resulting in deaths
have decreased 8 per cent in the past
six years, R. W. Cass, research expert,
predicts a further decline in truck ac¬
cidents during the next few years with
the development of increased struc¬
tural and mechanical safeguards.
An investigation of traffic accidents
recently completed by Mr. Cass reveals
than 85 per cent of the accidents were
directly traceable to human failure
while the remaining 15 per cent were
divided between machine failure and
road defects.
“Of the 83 per cent traceable to hu¬
man failure,” states Mr. Cass, “a con¬
siderable percentage may lie traced
to tiredness, physical discomfort or
sleepiness at the wheel. This figure
will undoubtedly show a decline over
the period of the next few years for
two reasons. The first is through ‘antl-

game of ‘rounders.’ The American
version of ‘rounders’ was ‘town ball,’
or ‘Massachusetts ball’—a New Eng¬
land favorite, ‘Town ball’ was played
on a 60-foot square, the pitcher in the
center, and the batter standing in the
middle of one side. Teams varied
from 14 to 20 players, none gf whom
were assigned definite positions. The
resulting confusion was bewildering to
spectator and player alike.
Devised by Doubleday.
“For years school boys had played
one-old-cat, and its more complicated
forms—two-olri-cat, three-old-cat, and
four-old-cat. Abner Doubleday, a youth
of Cooperstown, N. Y., is credited with
combining these various games, draw¬
ing up a set of rules, and selecting the
name of baseball. He devised the 90-
foot diamond and specified the position
of each player, although his team con¬
sisted of eleven men.
“Doubleday had little time for the
game which he invented. He entered
West Point shortly afterward, and la¬
ter fired the first shot from Fort Sum¬
ter in answer to the Confederate bom¬
bardment. At Gettysburg a statue
commemorates his distinguished mil¬
itary service, but America remembers
him as the man who invented her na¬
tional game.

ganized in 1845 by the Knickerbocker
Making Sign Language Lexicon

Richard Sanderville, seventy-year-old Blackfoot Indian, and probably the
greatest living authority on what ethnologists regard as one of the most
remarkable systems of communication known to man, has been brought to

tionary which was left half finished by the death of MaJ. Gen. Hugh L. Scott,
veteran Indian fighter and peacemaker. The sign Mr. Sanderville is making

“At the present time trucks are be¬

Improvement of highways under the
new public works program is also ex¬
pected to decrease trucking accidents,
according to Mr. Cass.
Byrd’s Hut Is Little
More Than Packing Box
Chicago.—Polar exploration made
its first real contribution to comfort¬
able living when Admiral Richard E.
Byrd shut himself up in a hut that
was little more than a packing box
built of thin pine boards.
It was built in Boston, knocked down
and transported 12,000 miles to Little
America, thence to the Byrd advance
station. The walls of the hut are four
inches thick, consisting of layers of
fireproof canvas, aluminum foil, wa¬
terproof paper, two blankets of kapok,
held together by thin wood panels
which in turn are covered on botli
sides by heavy kraft paper.
A reproduction of the Byrd hut,

Royal Bank of Canada
Reports Business Gains
Montreal.—The expansion of busi¬
ness activity in Canada has been “rap¬
id, consistent and impressive” since
March, 1933, says the Royal Bank of
Canada in its current monthly business
letter.
Devoted to a review of conditions in
tiie dominion, the letter notes an im¬
provement in every production of cap¬
ital goods.
The letter reads in part:
“March, 1933, constituted the low
point in the depression, and since that
month recovery has been rapid, con¬
sistent and impressive. In the past
three months car loadings were almost
25 per cent larger than in the corre¬
sponding months of 1933, steel produc¬
tion rose from 13.28$ units to 20,655
units, and newsprint made a gain of
Cat Falls in Well;

club of New York. They played on
the Elysian fields in Hoboken, then
a popular summer resort for New
York’s elite. Brooklyn, Philadelphia
and Baltimore soon formed teams, but
the game remained as amateur and
aristocratic a sport as polo is today.
"Baseball grew into a national game
during the Civil war, when northern
soldiers taught it to the men from the
West and South. In the same manner
our armies spread its popularity
among other nations during the World
war.
“Its universal appeal dates from the
dawn of history. Throwing, running
and catching, are as old as man.
Greeks, Persians and Norsemen played
handball. The Romans hatted balls
with a bandaged forearm. The Gil¬
bert islanders wrap coconut shells
with cord and hit them with an open
palm. Archeologists in Egypt found a
leather-covered hall over thirty cen¬
turies old. It is stuffed with papyrus,
but the segments of its cover are sewn
like those of a modern baseball.”
42 per cent over the volume produced
in the first quarter of 1933.”
The letter also notes improvements
in the metal mining , lumber anil pow¬
er industries.
It is in the production of capital
goods—i. e„ residential, commercial
and industrial building—and the in¬
stallation of new machinery, that there
has been the greatest lag in recovery,
the letter says.
Post Office Lookouts
Have Signaling System
Kansas City, Mo.—A new signaling
system for the 48 lookout galleries of
the new post office here resembles an
airport on a dark night.
Small red lights glow in the unlight¬
ed corridors, indicating plug-in points
for hand telephones carried by inspec¬
tors when they enter the galleries for
observance of postal employees at
work.
By telephone the inspector can com¬
municate with the central office when
he sees anything amiss in tiie handling
of the mail.
The galleries are connected by se¬
cret corridors. Tiie entire sjstem cov¬
ers two miles.
Michigan Robin Fights
Reflection in Auto Door
Battle Creek, Mich.—The long known
antipathy of the robin for his own
shadow was demonstrated here when
one of the red-breasted clan attacked
his reflection in the door panel of the
car owned by Charles H. Scully. Scul¬
ly returned to his parked car to find
the bird clawing and pecking at the
shiny surface. So infuriated was the
bird at the interruption of his battle
that he flung himself several times at
Scully.
19-Year-Old Dog Given

Bayport, N. Y.—Nineteen years is a
ripe old age for a dog, so when Lad,
black and tan, in the James Frazer
household, reached that birthday re¬

friend! gathered to pay their respects
and the dog was given a feast of lamb
chops and other delicacies. Officers of
the S. P. C. A. said 19 years Is a re¬
markable age for a dog. The record,
so far as they knew, Is 23 years.

Efficiency in the Kitchen
No Part of the Home Worthy of More Consideration;
Comparatively Easy Matter to Provide Closet
Space Where It May 13e Lacking.
There is no other room in a house
which so definitely indicates a round¬
ed cycle of fashion in housing neces¬
sities as does the kitchen. Within
the past few years it has become tiie
most discussed part of a home. Us
decorative schemes nave undergone
marvelous changes. Its uses have be¬
come complex, its furnishings dis¬
tinctive, and Its equipment elaborate
ly efficient. In fact, the kitchen has
again come into its own. Long years
ago it was tiie main room in a house,
being kitchen, dining room, and liv¬
ing room. Today it fulfills the first
two of these functions. It partakes
mildly of the third, although modern
kitchen fittings nre too mechanical
and coldly technical for the old-fash¬
ioned coziness to he present, which
coziness was almost cuddling In its
hearty welcoming atmosphere.
The bonne builder of today who
decides to feature tiie kitchen in her
new house will do well to remember
one item of the past kitchens. They
had sink rooms! These lit tie* rooms
were as large as up-to-date kitchen¬
ettes. but the The sink stove prominent. was not present, Ground
was
the walls were shelves a-plenty, nnd
every convenience for taking care of
dirty dishes, pots and pans, and
keeping tiie clean ones neatly stowed
away. Of course, there was the din¬
ing-room closet, in which was stacked
the best china, the sink room con¬
taining tiie everyday tableware to¬
gether with cooking utensils. With
such a room it was possible to se¬
gregate the confusion of unsightly
articles from tiie attractive ones, and
preserve a tidy kitchen even when
cooking was under way. The clutter
of the pots and pans, baking dishes,
etc., did not disturb ihe serenity of
a living room. The sink room is one
which would relieve a modern kitch¬
en equally well, and help to make it
a more fitting dining room, which, ns
mentioned before, is one of its pres¬
ent-day uses.
Apart from this suggestion for
home builders, let us speak of some
of the various aids to efficiency in
equipments for kitchens which nre
lacking in convenience. When closet
room is inadequate, there are sec¬
tional closets which can be bought
and put in wherever wanted. There
are low closets and high closets, wide
closets and narrow closets, all sizes
to suit all rooms. There are vege¬
table bins, open or enclosed.
There are stoves which resemble
