STEPHEN D. MOELROY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BASE-BALL-SCORING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 565,141, dated August 4, 1896.
Application filed May 5, 1896. Serial No. 590,286. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, STEPHEN D. McELEoY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Base-Ball-Game Indicator and Calendar, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a new and improved base-ball-game indicator and calendar.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved indicator for clearly and distinctly showing the record of the several base-ball clubs of a league or combination relatively to the number of games they have won or lost, and also showing which clubs are playing against each other and at which places on each day, said indicator being simple in construction, very clear and comprehensive,
and which can be kept properly in the most simple manner.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures, Figure 1 is a face view of my improved base-ball-game indicator and calen dar. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional View of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the same on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
On a board A or sheet of cardboard a series of circles B are arranged, preferably, in the form of a diamond, and adjacent to each circle B the name of the city is printed or otherwise produced which the circle represents, as, for example, WVashington, New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, &c. On each circle B two sets or pads of semicircular sheets of paper I) are secured at the inner straight edge in such a manner that the semicircular sheets can be torn off successively. The several sheets are provided with successive numerals in concentric semicircular rows, beginning with No. 1 on the first sheet and ending, for example, with No. 16, and beginning with 17 on the second sheet and ending with 34, and so on, according to the number of games scheduled. The semicircular sheets on the right half of each circle B are marked L at the center to represent games lost, and those on the left-hand half are marked W at the center to represent games Won.
Whenever the club represented by a circle loses a game, a number 'is crossed off, each succeeding number being crossed off for each successive game lost, and when all the numbers on a semicircular sheet D have been crossed oif in this manner the sheet is torn off and the numerals on the following sheet are crossed off, and so on. In a like manner the games won are crossed off on the semicircular sheets on the other half of the circle. Thus at a glance an observer can tell how many games the club in question has won or lost.
Adjacent to each circle B a pocket F is formed for holding a disk G, provided with a short stem, which disks are marked with the names or abbreviations of the names of the several cities.
A calendar H of any well-known construction or arrangement is fixed on the board A in the center of the diamond formed by the circles B and is surrounded by a circle of fields J, marked with the names of the several cities, and outside of and adjacent to each field J a pocket K is formed for receivingthe stems G of the disks G.
In case on the day in question the Boston club plays at Philadelphia the disk G, bearing the inscription Boston, is removed from the pocket F, adjacent to the circle B, marked Boston, and placed into the pocket K at the field J, marked Philadelphia, to show that the Boston club plays at Philadelphia on this day. In a like manner the disks for the remaining clubs are arranged.
The observer can see at a glance which clubs are playing at home and which clubs are playing with them, as the disks G, held in the pockets K, give the names of the visiting clubs, and the names in the corresponding fields J give the names of the home clubs.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination,with a board, of groups of pairs of pads on the same, the pads of each group consisting of two sets of superimposed sheets, the two sets of each group being side by side and the sheets of each set being pro Vided with numerals in numerical order, be
ginning on the first sheet of each set and ending on the last sheet of each set, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The combination with a b0ard,of a group of pads in pairs on the same, the sheets of the pads bearing numbers in serial order and a pocket at each pair of pads, substantially as herein shown and described.
3. The combination with a board having a series of fields formed on its face, a series of pockets one adjacent to each field, a series of pads in pairs, secured 011 the face of the board, the sheets of the pads bearing numbers in serial order, substantially as herein shown and described.
4-. The combination with a board having a series of fields formed on its face, a series of pockets, one adjacent to each field, a series of pads in pairs secured on the face of the board, the sheets of the pads bearing numbers in serial order and indicator-disks which can be placed into said pockets, substantially as herein shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 have signed my name, in prcsence of. two witnesses, this 27th day 01. April, 1806.
STEPHEN D. MQELROY.
