In the base ball giudes of the early days it was required that the scorer should be “one whose gentlemanly conduct will render him acceptable to all who are liable to make inquiries of him of the game. It was Henry Chadwick who devised the first adequate In the days of the Knickerbocker Club they tallied much in the same manner Rip Van Winkle tallied his drinks on the inn door. It was the old New York game they® played, when bases were But by the time the Red Stockings were in full swing there was a shorthand of socre keeping as intricate as it is today and as full of personal improvements. So that any score is a sort of cryptic puzzle, and we give such a puzzle here from the score books of the two clubs mentioned—valuable books from the litzary of “r. Spald- ing, now in possession of the New York public library. Through the persistent recording by Mr. Chadwick, whose complete score books are of games in the same collection, victories may still be followed by those who read scores, with the same facility an ardent chess player reads chess problems in the papers.

Grayson had announced the withdrawal of My Own for the rest of the geason, after the colt finished sixth in the Prince George handicap, and that Bowle officials had indicated the way was open for & return match between In Memoriam and the Ran- cocas stable's crack, Mr. Gilmore said Le would confer with Owner Wiede- mann, but indicated he would advise against the proposed race. . The track at Bowle is sandy, the ainer of the fleet son of McGe nchantress said, d, a8 the colt had a long stride, he would be at a dis- advantage. Also, he said it was planned to keep' In Memoriam at Churchill Downs during the winter and the prospect of a long trip to Maryland and back in order to enter the race was not encouraging. Zev was declared winner by a nose over In Memoriam in a match race at a mile and a quarter at Churchill Downs last Saturday.
