SPORTS WIRE By Tom Carnegie OF MORE than passing interest to sports fans is the handsome book, "One Hundred Years of Recreation," a limited edition of which is being distributed by Brunswick Balke-Collender Company, manufacturers of bowling and billiards equipment. Here are some of the more educational paragraphs: Bowling, one of the oldest of games, originated in Germany about 300 A. D. as a religious ordeal.

Billiards tournaments have been national sports news more than 100 years. George Washington, who had his own billiard table, was an enthusiast, as was Lafayette, who often played the game while in this country. Abraham Lincoln, who played regularly, pronounced billiards "a health-Inspiring, scientific game, lending recreation to the otherwise fatigued mind." MICHAEL PHELAJT and John See-reiter played the first national championship billiard match in Detroit in 1859. Phelan won the title and a $15,000 stake. Four hundred fans paid $5 each admission to the match.

Huge crowds remained outside until the match ended at dawn. Phelan held the title until 1863. The Knickerbockers of New York, first organteed baseball team (1845), became the first uniformed team in 1849, wearing white shirts, blue trousers, and straw hats. Harvard and Yale played the first Intercollegiate billiard match in 1860 at Briney Hall, Worcester. Mass.

Harvard won, 800 to 721. The game was four-ball English billiards. Princeton and Rutgers played the first intercollegiate football game in 1869, with twenty-five players on each side. AN AMERICAN girl, Mary Outer-bridge, received a tennis set as a gift from Bermuda officers in 1874. Upon reaching customs, the equipment was held by officials for a week so they could determine what duty to put upon this apparatus which they -had never seen before.

When first displayed in shop windows, tennis nets were often mistaken for a new type of fishing equipment. The first time admission was chareed to see a college athletic event was in 1874, when Harvard played McGill University, of Montreal. Goal posts were used for the first time in that game. The two-fingered grip for bowling balls was introduced in the United States in the 1880 s. Previously the players palmed the spheres.

A century ago much of the wood cn billiard tables was done by hand. One of the handsomest and most expensive billiard tables ever made in America was custom-fashioned for Prima Donna Adeline Patti at a cost cf S3.000. It was built of rosewood and amaranth woods with hand-painted panels. The first amateur open swimming championship was held Sept. 30.

1877, cn the Harlem River under the auspices of the New York Athletic Club. Golf was introduced in the United States in 1888 by Robert Lockhart, who returned from a visit to Scotland with a dozen clubs and a number of gutta percha balls. Ice hockey was introduced in 1880. First indoor ice rink made with electrical refrigeration was used in 1905 at Cleveland. A college hockey game was played on it.

BASKETBALL was originated in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith. Y. M. C.

Chicago, June 2 (JP) A tenth-inning single by Catcher Phil Masi, who earlier hit one of the Boston Braves' two homers, gave Reliever Joe Heving a 5-to-4 victory over the Cubs today in the veteran American League hurler's debut in the National League. Masi's single off Hi Vandenberg, fourth Cub pitcher, scored Joe Mack from second base.

His homer, along with one by Tommy Holmes with one on. came in the third of Paul Derringer. The homers gave the Braves a 4-3 lead when rain interrupted the game for 29 minutes in the seventh inning. A fumble by Second Baseman Frank Drews was cashed by singles by Andy Pafko and Pinch Hitter Paul Gillespie for the Cubs' tying run in the eighth, after which the 39-year-old Heving, only grandfather pitching in the majors, succeeded Johnny Hutchings and held the Cubs to one hit in the last two and two-thirds innings. Johnson homered off Hutchings in the fifth inning.

Carden Gillenwater. Braves' center fielder, was hit in the face by one of Derringer's pitches in the second inning, and, after collapsing at the plate, was able to walk to the clubhouse, where an examination indicated no fracture. BOSTON. Joist, 3b Mack. lb.

Jnhnsonbaugh, p. Walker, p. A strengthened Muncie baseball team will meet the Kokomo Rangers at McCulloch Park this afternoon. Game time is 2:30 o'clock. Charley Keller, who finished the season with Ball State yesterday, will be in left field for Manager Don Hunt's team and Ray Baehn and Bud Bullard, who were out of town Wednesday when the locals played Indianapolis Kingans, will be back in uniform.

The home boys have dropped two in a row, losing to Portland last Sunday and the Kingans Wednesday. In both games they outhit the winners, but poor fielding spoiled their chances. Manager Hunt has moved young Gary Thornburg to shortstop and has given him the cleanup position in the batting order. The tall Henry County boy played the outfield in earlier games and pitched against Kingans. He has been hitting well.

"jfc -X oWpJf iff II I 5 y- vv Af Captain Budy Lewis is a great "fan" of War Bonds. The popular third baseman of the pre-war Washington Senators advises his "fans" to administer the "grand slam blow" against the Japs in the Seventh War Loan.

Captain Lewis appeared with your writer on a Memorial Day bond program from the lobby of the Claypool Hotel in the Hoosier capitol. Like a true sportsman, he went on record as saying that the folks back home have done more than their share in backing his comrades. "We never let up on the ball field until the game was won. The same applies to Uncle Sam's players on the home front," Captain Lewis stated as he began his informal interview before a lobby full of admirers who heard Buddy was to be around. Captain Buddy Lewis made quite a name for himself on the roster of the Washington Senators before he left to enlist in November of 1941.

But currently Buddy is more proud of his record he's run up against the Japs who are far tougher than even the famed "Murderer's Row" of the New York Yankees. Buddy is now stationed at Stout Field, headquarters of the I Troop Carrier command. He served as a troop carrier C-47 pilot for 15 months in the China-Burma -Indian theater. He participated in 369 missions, totaling 611 operational hours in the air, flew over the "Hump" almost 70 times and towed gliders in the aerial invasion of Buryia. He has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with Oak Leaf clusters.

I didn't find out all of this information from Buddy. He's much too shy to reveal the full story. The Public Relations officer at Stout Field filled in the details. "Buddy, do you plan to return to the Senators?" we asked. "Certainly," Buddy replied emphatically.

"And chances are it won't be too long before I'll be back with the gang. You see I've got more than enough points, and I'm in the surplus pilots pool right now. It could be any day now and then again well, a guy never knows." Next we queried, "Who in your opinion is the best manager in baseball?" "That's really a tough one," Buddy quipped. "But I would pick Joe McCarthy of the Yanks with, my old bass, Bucky Harris, right behind Joe." Buddy keeps up his intense interest in the major leagues and although he hasn't seen a big league game, he strings along with the Detroit Tigers in the American and the St. Louis Cardinals in the National.

Buddy did see the brand of ball played in the American Association when Louisville played at Indianapolis. "Man, they were plenty good," he volunteered. "If that is a true sam ple of minor league ball, I wonder what the majors must be The teams I saw had good pitching, great fielding and plenty of speed. I'm afraid I'm in for a real surprise when I return to the Senators." When you look at this trim 180-lb. athlete, you realize you don't have to worry about Buddy Lewis keeping up with the boys in the majors.

Clark Griffith, owner of Washington, would be plenty happy to have Buddy drop ui and ask to be put on the payroll, Buddy would like to be doing that some day soon. In the meantime, he's keeping up his baseball activities as a member of the Stout Field team that is play ing the best of Indiana's semi-pro opposition.
