Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living
things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of
flowing water are rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of
water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert
pass their entire lives without a single drop
Uncompromising as it is, the dessert has not eliminated life but only those forms
unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist- skinned, water – loving animals can
exist there. Few large animals are found: the giants of the North America desert are the deer,
the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift – footed,
running, and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its populations are largely nocturnal,
silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted
to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere in the world.
The secret of their adjustment lies in a combination of behavior and physiology. None

could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many
would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool,
humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the
sun – baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is
only 60 degrees.

Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and stick games (paddle ball, trap ball,
one-old-cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American

Revolution, it was noted that troops played “baseball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander
Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped
infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikers – you’re – out, batter out on a caught ball,
three outs per inning , a nine man team. “The New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing
earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the
recreational needs of an increasingly urban – industrial society. At its inception it was it was
played by and for gentlemen. A club might consist of 40 members. The president would
appoint two captains who would choose teams from among the members. Games were played
on Monday and Thursday afternoons, with the losers often providing a lavish evening’s
entertainments for the winners
During the 1850- 70 period the game was changing, however, with increasing
commercialism (charging admission), under – the – table payments to exceptional to players,
and gambling on the outcome of games. By 1868 it was said that a club would have their
regular professional ten, an amateur first - nine, and their” muffins“ (the gently duffers who
once ran the game) . Beginning with the first openly all – salaried team (Cincinnati’s Red
Stocking Club) in 1869, the 1870- 1890 period saw the complete professionalization of
baseball, including formation of the National Association of Professional baseball players in
1871. The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs was formed in 1876, run by
business-minded invertors in joint-stock company clubs. The 1880s has been called Major
League Baseball’s “Golden Age”. Profits soared, player’s salaries rose somewhat, a season of
84 games became one of 132, a weekly periodical “The sporting News” came into being,
wooden stadiums with double-deck stands replaced open fields, and the standard
refreshment became hot dogs, soda pop and peanuts. In 1900 the Western League based in
the growing cities of the Mid-west proclaimed itself the American League.
