"Play ball!" cried Eve, tossing the apple to Adam. And ever aince their deeceti dents have been doing ao. The instinct to evolve gam ea in which balla ad various kinds figure seems to be univaraal, and its history is, as the highbrows say, loet in the mista of antiquity. The earth itself is a ball, although slightly flattened in spots, as if it had been pasted on the trademark by aaaM celestial Ty Cobb. When the first pale-faces iavaded this now well-known continent they found Poor Lo anraaing himself with a ball game which the Ffeach afterward called lacrosse. Base hall, which is a development of the older games of rounders and "town ball" i foot hall, whicf) was first played by the j English with the head of a captured , Dear as the ball; cricket billards, ten- i ' aia, golf, hockey, polo, bowling, basket I j hall and various other games, are played with balls. Youngest of the popular ball games , is basket ball, which passes the quarter century mark this year, having been < invented in 1891 by Dr. James Nai- * smith, then director of physical training , at the Springfield, Mass., Training j School, but later with the University of , Kansas It was twenty-four years ago, j on January 16, 1892, that the first '(

match basket ball game was played at Springfield between two claas teams. In the previous month, at a meeting of the faculty of tlfe Springfield School, the need of some new mode of exercise was discussed. It was agreed that there waa a demand for a sport thaf would provide plenty of action without brutality, and which would serve the purpose of scientific physical development. Dr. Naismith gave much thought to the problem, and soon evolved the game of basket balL The first contest demonstrated that the new sport had a powerful appeal Goals were then made of iron hoops from which nets were suspended. Tbe latter were 'at first so woven as -to hold tbe ball, but later it waa found desirable to change the nets n so" that the ball would drop through to / the jrigying floor/ / The Y.<£T^. A. was largely responsible for the . immediate and widespread . popularity of basket ball. Tbe game is now played by nearly 176,000 boys and men in the United States and Canada, and probably has more devotees than •ays other sport with the exception of base ball. Nor is basket ball confined to America, for it has been introduced with great success in several European countries, and in the Philippines. China, Japan. Hawaii, Argentine, Brazil, Uruguay and Chile. . In South America the ( newest of ball games is much better , known than is base ball, and in the Philippines and Japan basket ball threatens the popularity of the diamond pastime. As a winter sport basket ball has won- j derful possibilities, and in tbe years to - come it will doubtless play an increasiagly important part io raising* the physical standards of youth. |( t

In this week's Saturday Evening Post | •tarts 6ns of the biggest political stories j «ver published. It is *y Samuel G. Blytbe. who has been a Washington reporter for over twenty yearn, a man who knows more about inside politics, probably ?han any other outside i„ the United States Thia story deals with real men and real facts under fictitious names. That is what makes it so interesting. It is real histoid of the inside workings of • political parties. M a story that will be remembered i many a day and those who do not read H will miss something interesting and , worth while. Copies can he obtained . from the varioas boys and news stands. , or from Laurence El dredge. Blythe pulls down a salary of $10,000 , per ystr. IT WAS HOT TRUE. , tKpt. J. W.

" id just a little story 1 "Bout our own dear .little boy, ' bow he loves his baby ' More than any other toy. 1 i has a lot of playthings; ( He has cars and engines, too. 1 he's true to that rag baby 1 Even when his toys are new " J Now, you see. this old rag baby 8 Once was just a piece of shawl. Now it's ragged, old and dirty But his love holds good through all.

- Billy played that his rag baby 1 Understood just what he said. You could often hear him talking After they were tucked in bed. - Once, when Billy had been naughty, Mother sent him off to bed; 1 If you could have heard them talking This is what his ''baby" said: "Billy, you've been very naughty, You most made your mother cry, t Now go tell her you are sorry - Or tell me the reason why?" Out of bed ljc crept so quickly; Down the stairs he sadly went, For he knew his dear rag baby Always said just what it meant. Straight to mother's arms he bounded, And she held him tight and fast, Soon his troubles all were over, In the dreamland of the past Billy loves that old rag baby As a mother loves her boy, -And its loss would cause him sorrow Just as reel as any joy.
