A slip of paper 4 by 6 Inches, which has been placed about various golf clubs of St. Louis, Is said to havs done more for the betterment of the clubs and of the sport Itself than any other one thing, declared Paul O. Palmer, president of Forest Park Golf club. All the little sign says Is: "Treat Your Caddy As Sou Would tour Ov.fi Boy." Last summer Taul II. Miller, exec-utive secretary of Big Brothers' as-sociation, with the heads of the various St. Louis golf clubs, had the cards printed and put about In the locker rooms and at other places In the clubhouses. The matter rested there until Palmer, of the For-est Park club, and others, asked for new signs for this season. When asked the reason for the re-quest, Palmer said that be felt that the posters, which reminded golfers of their Influence on their own caddies, bad done as much for the betterment of conditions In general at the Forest Park links as any other one agency. "There Is no better way to Influ-ence a boy directly than In some sort of sport," Palmer said, "and the sign Blmply serves as a reminder to the men that fellows who caddy for them are watching thera all the while, In many cases secretly Imitating them, not only In the way In which they play the game, but In their attitude toward other things. "It seems to me that the caddy-maste- r himself determines In a large way the kind of golf club one has. It Is hard to see that unless you are very familiar with .the operation of the club, but It Is true, nevertheless." Palmer said that he felt that a de-crease In the amount of blue profanity" was In a large meas-us-e due to the reminders that the Big Brothers had put up In the clubhouses. Origin of Baseball Is Traced Back to England The origin of the gume of baseball Is somewhat obscure, although authori-ties are strongly of the opinion that It Is a development of the old Eng-lish game of rounders. The first ap-pearance of any game similar to base-ball In this country was in the early Nineteenth century. A gitnie known as "One Old Cat" was popular with schoolboys In the North Atlantic states. It was played by three boys, each fielding and hutting In turn, runs being scored by batsman running to the single base and back again with-out being cried "out." There were also modifications of this game with four, six and eight plnyers. As the game developed It became known as townball, and In 1833 the Olympic Town Bull club was organized In Phil-adelphia. The first actual matches be-tween organized busehall clubs took place about 18-1- and in the neighbor-hood of New York. It was in 1843 that the Washington hnsehall club was organized, but not until two years later were the first regular rules drawn up by the Knickerbocker Baseball club. The first National association was or-ganized In 1858, und the first entirely professional baseball club, the Cincin-nati Red Stockings, was organized ten years later.

J 4': ii " - Grand Prix de Paris Worth More Than $80,000 The Grand Prix de Paris, richest racing stake In the world, will be run this year at the Longchamp course In Paris on June 28. While there Is yet no official statement relative to the value of the stake this year, ex-perts are convinced that It will be worth more than the $80,000 of last year, although there Is very small like-lihood of Its reaching, within the next few years, its 1923 value of $106,000. The classic Is one of the best In all Europe, and while It is by far the old-est stake in- - the world, having been Inaugurated in 1863, It Is one of the most popular and Interesting.
