BALL PLAYING 1 VERY 0LD SPORT Was Indulged in Here 1,000 Years Ago Springfield, Ill,. June 13 (A)— Playing ball was America's national sport before Eric the Red dlscovered Greenland, and the baseball leagues of today are not very different from (he circults that drew big crowds to its games when Daniel Boone was cutting his first teeth on a bear- claw necklace. Additional proof of this is found in the autoblography of Black Hawk last of the great Indlan war chlefs who fought in Illinoils. He told of the great ball games that used to be played among the tribes in the Mississippl Valley, and related that from 500 to 1,000 often played on one side. Another feature, the autoblogra- phy relates, was the gambling which took place among the tribes, and in- ividual Indfans on the outcome of the games. The red man often risk- vd ‘all his worldly possessions in a wager on the home team, There may have been Indian Babe Iluths back In those days also, for BBlack Hawk told how each tribe or village had its favorite team, and sald that to excel in the game brought distinction upon the player. ‘I'he annual festival games in which the championship was decided were of sufficlent importance to bring wvery friendly tribe to the appointed meeting ground. A group of medicine men, agreed upon by the opposing sides, acted as amplres and prayed long and pub- llely that they might administer im- vartially the rules of a contest which apparently involved all the major clements of the modern games of bageball, football, basketball, la- crosse and hockey.
