The New York Herald recently published an article from which one might judge that the United States soldiers introdvced the game of baseâ€" ball to the soldiers overseas in France and Beleuim. Of course, this is not the fact, but just as surely such a claim mizht only be expeeted. _ The triith, of course, is that baseball went over with the Cansdians. (The Y.M. C.A., for jnstance, were praised many months ago for the gonerous thoughtâ€" fulness that supplied â€" hundreds of baseball outfits for the men at â€" the front. Those may have been a little baseball before the Canadiaxus introâ€" duced the game, but it was so little that it may be disregarded,. The Carâ€" rdian bascball fans in the army, howâ€" ever, are riany, and the players numâ€" erous, anil as they had been in the ry the game across with tlhem. It is only an evidence of the pleasant tenâ€" dencey of a certain section of the United States people that a New YVork journal should now evolly exâ€" plain â€" how ¢* baseball follow? the ‘American‘ flag.‘ It is this sort of thing that makes ‘Americeans‘ so oxâ€" eruciatingly popular. â€" However, The New York Herald‘s article has some interesting statements, even if their trustworthiness may be made doubtâ€" ful by the cvident error in thie one particular. ‘The Herald says: Americs‘s greatest outdoor game came into cxistence a few years beâ€" fore the oulbreak of the Civil War. 4e v ts growth in popularity was slow :abit of “pm\'mw ball"} while in training on this side of the pond, it was but natural that they should earâ€" l he solders at the front foll unâ€" der its spell. â€" Then it spread from regiment to reg iment, from Northern Army to Southern Army, until it bes came th@ universal means of obtainâ€" ing relaxation from military duties. When the war was ended the soldiers @uuk the game back to every part of he United States, and soon thereatâ€" 191’ the formation of interceity leagues placed it on the threshold of its presâ€" ent popularicy. ¢ _ P a% Baseball, like trade, follows _ the American flag, and today the gams is played in Cuba, Puerto Rieo, Hawan ind the Philippines. That it will folâ€" low the flag to Europe is shown by the announcemeat of the Young Men‘s Christian Association Internaâ€" tional Committee that it is sending to o the â€" American _ epncentration camps in Franco five thousand gloves and fourâ€" hundred ~baseball bats. According to despatehes from Lonâ€" don Enz. Dai Roberts, the famous Welsh welterweight boxer, has Leen liilled in sction by a shell in Prance. Under the capable instruetion of Jim Driscoll, he earned great popularity in the roped gren2 and built up a fine reputsiion. _ One of Iis best perforâ€" maneos was to beat Willie F arrell :;:e Nastioaal Sporting Club in April, 1913, although Farroll turned _ the aÂ¥es twelve months later in a 20â€" round bout.
