FIRST BASE BALL 

 CHAMPIONSHIP 

 PLAYED TODAY 



the Ca.ss County Farm Huri'ati to a 

 bast' ball game to be played at their 

 annual tikiii?. It was 9S in tlio shade 

 that day and the older members ^ery 

 soon surremlered their-ilbsitions to 

 their sons and to younger farmers 

 present. Cass county got a pretty 

 good team together the next year and 

 beat all the adjoiuing counties. This 

 Spring, in looking for new worlds 

 eontiiier, Cass county gave a dui 

 dinner to neighboring couutieij in the 

 district and at this meeting a league 

 was organized. 



The trophy to the champions is a 

 silver ball supported by a tripoil of 

 three bats. It is a trophy worthy of u 

 CJreclan honrof-old. 



De Bergerac Real Person 



Savlnier Cyrano de liergorac was n 

 I'rench author who was born In 1U18 

 and who died In 1U05. Edmund Kos- 

 land wrote a drama In which De Ber- 

 gerac was the hero, and the play Tas 

 in many ways true to facts. The real 

 Ue Bergerac was distinguished for his 

 courii;;e In the field and for the duels 

 he fought. These numbered more than 

 a thousand, most of them fought on 

 account of his monstrously large nose.

Visitors at the slate picnic today 

 had the oiiportunity lo witness the 

 first farm bureau baseball chiuuiihm- 

 Bhip ever played in Illinois and pos- 

 sibly in the United States. It is 

 hoped to make base ball for farm bu- 

 reau members a p<irmanent and annu- 

 al event In Illinois At the c^hauiau- 

 (lua grounds today, immediately after 

 the speaking program scheduled at 

 '2::',ft. the i-hampionship game got uu- 

 ilerway. 



The championship event has b(-eii 

 looked forward to all season as loc;il 

 farm bureau teams played out their 

 schedules for the district ^hainpion- 

 ships. 



For the 1924 .season, the districts in 

 Illinois were formed into what was 

 termed ilistrict leagues. FtdloHins 

 are the games played by the counties 

 participating and their pereentag(?s:
