I think the grounds | then were in Utica street in part of {what was known as Hunt's pasture, jor circus grounds. The game in those {days was played under slightly dif- | ferent rules and the players did not | wear the heavy gloves and other pro- {tection as they do now. The games, | while they were marked by heavy {stick work, loose fielding and with {no restrictions on the pitchers, as ithey are today, large scores were in {evidence and the fans, or as they {were more properly called, rooters, got every bit as much pleasure out of the contests as their up-to-date friends. Many an afternoon I sat |there and saw my favorites win or lose, and many times I had to either {have a cold supper or none at all." But what's the use of dwelling un anclent history! Just think of it! Three and one-half hours required to play a game of up-to-date ball--A19 {runs being scored, ten in one innings, {fourteen in another, and eight and ten in other innings. Is it any won- der that two world's records were broken, one which was made in 1897. and the other in 1901, and two other narks were equaled. The famous if my memory serves me right, 4s the only ex-player still enjoying life's scenery who shares with Outflelder O'Callaghan, of the {Chicago Cubs, the unique distinction lof facing a pitcher three times in one inning. It may be some time again, perhaps years, before that memorable game of Friday will be once more {equalled, or surpassed, and until that time comes this game will furnish ithe Winter fans enough dope to talk {about till spring arrives again. Regarding the wonderful showing Cubs have made this which rather upset the pro- phecies of the wiseacres at the open- ing of the season, the fans should teke into their consideration that in nearly half of their games they have been withouit the valuable services of their young outfielder, Statz, whose hitting has been woefully misséd. While dt is not the intention of any- one to take any of the credit from either New York or St. Louis, both of whem have had players on the in- jured list, we are only asking you to surmise where the Cubs might be to- day had Statz been able to have play- ed all season. This slugging out- fielder was one of the semsations of the National League, but he has been pursued by bad luck since the pen- nant race was on. Not much has been written about, or has anyone picked him for his All- American team, yet the fact remains that Gerber, who is performing at short for the St. Louis Browns, is one of the greatest infielders in the game today. His all around work is one of the reasons why the Browns are occu- pying the position they hold today__a daily perusal of his score ds his best testimonial. If Reb Russell doesn't quit stealing the daily publicity from the other Pittsburgh players that team is liabla to go into a mutiny. Every day since he has joined the team (there may be a few exceptions) this player has per- formed some feat to capture the pub- lic's eye, his latest being three home runs in one afternoon. Eddie Ainsmith, despite the fact that he is an American League dis- card, has been catching in his old- time form for the Cardinals all sea- son. It is a safe bet that there is one or two American League teams, to gay nothing of the National, that could use him to advantage, Buck HenMne is another big lea- gue receiver whose work is a pleasing feature of every game he participates in, He is handicapped in one way, however, by being a member of tail end team. New Track Record. Peter Manning, the champion {trotter, broke another track record at the second day's programme of the Grand Circuit meeting at Read- ville Park, Mass., negotiating a mile in 1.59 3-4, one-quarter of a second faster than the former trotting mark for the track, held jointly by Peter Manning and Lou Dillon.

Duff of the Mjtchell team of the Dakota League, who has been strongly boosted by Manag- er Harry Scharnweber, has been sold to the Chicago White Sox, the price said to be $4,600. Duff is to report at the end of the Dakota season. Late records showed him having 13 vic- tories and but two defeats. Duff is a right-hander and Mitchell got him from Peoria in a trade for Catcher Askland. George Cutshaw, now with Detroit, who has played second base more years than he cares to think about, says that the hardest fielding chance is the one that looks easiest. He ex- plains: "You see an infielder set for a ball. He is in front of it. It looks like the easiest kind of a chance. And then the ball passes through his legs. 'When you are set for a ball, the ball Miss. | eback at Banff. Jock- | must bound true. If it takes a falsa bound, which many balls do, it is] hard to shift suddenly. When you! are in motion and the ball takes a | { funny hop it is much easier to switch | {and get the ball because you are in| motion anyway. When you are set | | you have to go into action and then | adgust yourself. That is hard to do because it takes time. And this| firme you lose prevents you from { making the play. Also, | grounders are easier to fleld than| | 'soft' ones. I don't know of any in-| | fielder who would not much rather | {have a hard one come at him than] {an easy one. Most errors are made on | {the chances that {but which are really the hardest | fielding chances." !

Changing Denominations. At a famous Pan-Presbyterian council held in Edinburg, a large number of delegates went to the Scott country. A chain bridge across the Tweed at Dryburg bore the leg- end that not more than twelve pedes- trians could be on the bridge at one time. But the delegates desregarding or not seeing the notice, crowded on to the bridge in a score or more. The keeper of the bridge, Tom Fox, by name, rushed forward, and with emphatic gesticulations orderad them back. "Can you no' read?" exclaimed Tom Fox, pointing to the notice. "We are Pan-Presbyterians," ex- plained a delegate, "and we were so interested that we did not see the no- tive." "You may be Pan-Presbyterians or Pot-Methodists," rejoined the now angry bridgekeeper; 'but if ony mair o" ye come on this bridge ye will be Baptists in a minute." ---- . Then and Now.
