FIRST COLLEGE BALL
SCORED 73 TO 31
Mementos of Historic Events Are Preserved in Amherst Trophy Room
The first intercollegiate ball game, or old-fashioned round baseball, presents strange contrasts when compared with diamond contests of today. Here is a story built from the recollections of two living players and an umpire and published under date of July 1, 1859, in the Franklin and Hampshire Gazette that is apt to bring a smile:
The earliest game of baseball between Colleges was one of old fashioned "round" ball between Amherst and Williams played at Pitfield on July 1, blissfully no worse than the room of 73 to 32. These are now nanking in the Amherst College trophy room the two balls which were used in this game, which bear the following inscription: "The veritable balls used in the first game of interstate play in 1869." Amherst vs. Williams, by amherst.
This is how it came about: At a meeting of the college directly after morning prayers at which Mr. Smead of the Senior Class presided, Mr. Claffin made a motion that "Amherst challenge Williams will play at some injury game of ball to be played at some information game or before July 4," which was passed by a strong majority. A committee was appointed of J. T. Claffin, senior class; Walker, junior class; H. D. Hye, sophomore, and T. Tomson, freshman, to make arrangements for the game. A challenge was immediately sent and accepted for thirteen picked men each college to meet in the A delegation from Amherst at Clerestor and draw up the rules and regulations for the game. Mr. Hyde of Amherst met the two Williams delegates, but nothing was agreed on. On Mr. Hyde's return negotiations were carried on by mail for two weeks till at last it was amicably settled that each party its own ball and it must always be caught in five-fifty, sixty-five runs to be limit of the game. The Pitfield Baseball Club offered its grounds and July 1 was appointed as the date.
There was to be but one drawback to the game. All Williams College was to be present, including the player while Amherst sent only the players.
It is interesting to note the manner of selecting the team for this game. The men were "chosen by balloons from the students at large," during period of daily practice and no elimination from the squad at various times.
On Thursday afternoon Amherst's seventen picked men started for Pittsfield. They arrived in Pittsfield eager for battle. Soon the Williams boys began pouring into town until it seemed as if Willamstown must be deserted. Old men and women, young men and maidens, proprietors of female schools with their pupils—the great square of the ball ground was surrounded five or six deep.
The appearance of the teams on the field must have been very amusing, although there was some attempt at uniformity of dress as "the Williams team were all dressed alike and wore bells marked Williams, but the appearance of the team was decidedly identical." The only attempt uniform was the blue ribbon which each man had pinned on his breast."
It seems that the question of professionalism entered even into the first game as it was "rumored that the Amherst thrower was the professional blacksmith who had been hired for the occasion." A bystander remarked that "the story must be true as nobody but a blacksmith could possibly throw for three and a half hours as he did."
The Amherst ball weighed two and one-half ounces and was about six inches in circumference. It was made by Henry Hebard of North Brookfield and was considered a work of art at the time.
The Williams ball was about seven inches in circumference, weighed about two ounces and was "covered with light colored leather so as to make it seen with difficulty by the batters."
About 11 o'clock the game started with Amherst having the first innning, and at the end of the second round the score stood Amherst 1; Williams 9. This success called out from the Williams students a long universal clapping and cheering whenever one of their comrades gained a tally. Amherst grew desperate and at the end of the third round stood even; at the end of the fourth Amherst led, and continued to do so until the end of the game
sometimes having three tallies to one for Williams.
The score by innings as given in newspapers develops several interesting facts. It was allowable to put a man out between bases by spotting him on the field and "ticked" ball. The batter was allowed to knock the ball in any direction which he chose, hence the terms "back knocks," "side strikes," etc. No gloves of any sort were worn at this time, nor was the mask a protection or any of the baseball paraphernalia of today.
After four hours of steady playing, in which twenty-six rounds had been played wit wit no intermission and with unabashed interest on the part of the spectators, the game was decided finished and Amherst was declared the winner by the score of 78-32.
RAH! RAH! ICHABODS EXPLODE
Student Paper Carries Story Predicting Victory Over Kansas This Season—Ten "W" Men Back
That Washburn is looking at the football season in a self-attitudes way is shown by the following extract from the Washburn student paper, and the fact that in the paper the school predicts victory over Kansas.
"With eleven 'W' men in suits and a large squad of last season's subs and freshmen, football prospects at Washburn looks brighter than they have since the fall of 1907. Football fans are doping a state title for the Blue, with victory to win the valley team. Be met and the third team be met with the third. Kansas and the Kansts Argies are slated as sure victims of Glen C. Gray's men, the dope fiends say. The Nebraska game is doubtful.
Much of the promised success is based on the return of Coach Gray, who whipped the locals into shape last season with fut four veterans. Well acquainted with his men, an experienced squad to work with and a bungee of new plans he is expected to turn loose more in the month last season. Captain Earl Robert thinks that the mentor will if love the plan of play used last fall, half open work and half old style.
"There will be a letter man for every position except left tack."
KANSAN MEN REALLY WORK
University Newspaper Men Carry on Variety of Strenuous Activities During Summer Vacations
That the members of the Kansan Board are accustomed to work is proven out by a study of the occupations which they followed during the summer months. Two of the members followed a threshing outfit during the summer months—John M. Henry, managing editor, and Elmer Arndt. Seven of the men were engaged in newspaper work of some kind. Among these were John Gleissner, solicitor of ads; Cal Lamber reading proof; Mr. Hassall's pad;ad paper; on John Harsh, a paper in Kilberville Gilbert Clayton, news editor of the Summer Session Kansan; Guy Scriven, foreman of a paper plant in Kansas City; Charles Sweet, on a county newspaper; Ray Clapper, foreman of the Kellogg & Baxter printing plant; William Cady, edito ref the Wilson County Gazette, and Sam Ingalls, traveling man.
Following the decision of the Supreme Court of Tennessee denying rights of ownership or control of Vanderbilt University to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the church has established a new city with five million dollars will be raised to build and end it, Atlanta pledging $500,000. Mrs.Asa G. Candler has subscribed $1,000,000, the largest individual gift to education ever made in the south. Bishop Warren A. Candler has been elected to a department open in temporary quarters in September. The university in its other departments will be organized later.
