It is a sports trophy obtained at an inter-school oina (a bat-and-ball game) competition in interwar Bessarabia. We don't know which schools participated in this competition, nor the venue, we only know that one of the winners received the second prize and that the event was held on May 13, 1934. In this way we learn about the existence of different sports competitions organized by schools, including the oina game. Oina is a beautiful and complex sports game that promotes the development of body and spirit, courage and the desire for self-improvement. Oina is a treasure of the Romanian people, which must be sacredly kept and passed on to future generations.
The oină or hoina game is considered a Romanian national sports game having a history of at least six centuries. The oina game is practiced continuously, according to the chronicles and deeds of the time at least from the 14th century, being mentioned for the first time in 1364, during the reign of Vlaicu Vodă. The game requires complex sports qualities (good running speed, fast reflexes in self-defense movements against the balls, accuracy in throwing and hitting the ball with a bat or stick). Oina is a sport that identifies us to the same extent as trânta, our national wrestling. The game becomes attractive among young people in the villages, enters the school curriculum through physical education lessons. Through the Education Reform of 1898, as well as through other ministerial decisions, Education Minister Spiru Haret introduces the compulsory oina lessons in all schools, as well as the annual oina competitions.
On May 9, 1899, in Bucharest, the first national oina championship was organized, the teams being made up of high school students. The winner was the team of Nicolae Bălcescu High School from Brăila.
In 1912, the Federation of the Romanian Sports Society (Bucharest) was created, which consisted of 13 sports commissions including the oina commission.
After the Union of 1918, the Federation of the Romanian Sports Society was reorganized in 1923, including the other oina sports commissions of Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia.
In 1932, the Romanian Oina Federation was founded.

Le milieu de vie des habitants de la ville Chisinau connait au début du XX-ème siècle une intensification du procès- sus de modernisation. Chisinau este devenu le centre le plus principal de la Bessarabie et l’une de plus grandes villes de l’Empire Russe.
Le rhytme de la vie connait une accéleration, surtout, au centre de la ville, où se situaient la plupart des places publiques, tant celles officielles (l’école, le tribunal, les bancs), comme et celles d’agrément (les théatres, les cinémas, les bistrots, les cafés, etc.). Les autorités publiques locales ont entrepris plusieurs mésures pour améliorer le milieu de vie des habitants de Chisinau (l’activité sanitaire dans la ville, les services de salubrité, l’illumination des rues et des maisons privées, la construction des lignes de communication téléphonique).
Ces aspects du milieu de vie des habitants de la ville Chisinau représentent l’objectif principal de notre étude. La conclusion qui s’impose est que, meme si le niveau de vie des habitants de Chisinau était plusieurs fois resté en comparaison avec les plus grandes villes de l’Europe, à l’époque étudiée celui-ci a connu de profondes modifications.
