In Statasman issue of August 31 ls an article, "Basebail 50 years ago" as, recalled by James Wilcox who was a promineut figure in the games early days in Bowmanville. If permitted, 1 would like to add a littie more te what is said thon, and mention as one o! the old boys some incidents and evenis befme and after, the time referred te in that article o! the early days o! basebal la Bowmanvhlie. The first game of basebail I ever saw, was ha the drill shed grounds between Bowmanvilie and New- castle, some time la the early seven- ties. Newcastle had one of the best teams in the Province, William W. Tamblyn, M. A., was captain and itcher, aad as the Massey Manu- !aceturing Co. was thon in New- castle, ho fouad good mateniai from which te seloct a toam. They had played hn Toronto, Ham- ilton and London. and other citios, wianiag a mai ority e! the games, heuce ne disgrace Was foît -when Bowmaavile lest the game re!emred to. Among the local players for Bow- manvillo were W. J. McMurtry, Mal- colm McTavish, Frank Berland and Il thiak John G. Manning, who i stilil ablo to onioy a game-looking on.l Sometime about thon a club wasl orgaaized and known as the Royall Oaks. Under able management ofi W. J. McMurtry and Malcolm Mc-1 Tavish the club soon disposed of al the local tcams. Newcastle put up somo fierce batties, but finally had te give in. It was in one o! these games, on the drill shed grounds ha Bowmanvile that some poople were killed or injured by lightaing which struck the drill shed during a suddeai storm. In those days a pitcher was much handicapped by mies o! the gamo] which required the pitcher to deliver the bail with tihe arm below thei boit or waist, hence the torm 'pitcher' was true to form then differingý much £rom the "throwing" deliveryl o! to-day.1 Only a few of the early pitchersl couid get much speed -on the ba'l.1 W. W .Tamblyn was one o! them. Hol would stand per!ectly erect la ptch-, er's box, back o! the hand holdingi the bail, was towards batter. The arm ns ih came !orward would turn with a jerk and the bail wouid shoot forward with coasiderable speed. Charlie Kelly of the Royal Oaks. was rather lanky with long arras. Ia deiivering thebail ho would stoop f ar ever, and a poworful swing o! his arm would start the bail aimost frein bis tees which kept nising tili it roacbed the batter. In this way Kelly got about as mucb spoed on the bail as maay of the pitchers do te-day. Imagine a catcher thon, close up bohind the batterwithout catcher's gioves, mask or protector-oniy a pioce o! rubber held tightly betqWeen Sthe teetb, protruding boyoad the lips. This was supposed te prevont the teotb from being knocked down one's thmoat. This is what Jim Wil- cox did lu those eariy days of whidh ho speaks. Later masks, gloves and protector sncb as tbey weme thon, woro oh- tained, but whether in timo te be used by Wilcox, Ido net recali. Bill Jones wbo played lit base for the Royal Onks, was six f oot two or three inchos taîl, with tromen- dons reach and bauds, se that oe feit in tbrowing a bail te firsi any- whore in vicinity would do. Ho did -net liko fast onos tbough, and always cautiening the players te go easy.- Anothor peculiariiy of bis, ho used the lightest bat ho could got. Tom Shaw o! thon Aima Hotel was quite stout. On second ho did very well, but the greatest fun was to soe hlm rmn bases. Ho waddied considerably as ho ran and if push- ed for trne, ho wauld ibrow hinisel! down and moll in. His build per- mitted this. Tom Brodie of Salem neighborbood1 thon, was a-good fieldor when sober, besides these were Ned and Harry Coleman, Bhiy Mitchell, Dave Mc- Aldon for a time-ali with their po- culiarities of which 1 would like te spoak if space permittod.
