With all the big noise about major league baseball, it seems appropriate to look back through the records. As near as we can see, ball players never had it so good. Travel conditions are a far cry from the days of bus rides, clanking trains and street cars. The old time tobaccochawin' ball players were considered roughnecks in some parts and weren't too welcome in the best hotels. We are glad to see modern equipment, medical care, living conditions and benefits. But, like the rest of the world, ball players may be spoiled. We wouldn't want to go back to the coal stoves, but maybe it wouldn't hurt us. Too bad it takes a depression to level people off. Baseball fans used to toss coins on the field when a player hit a home run. Bing Miller was busy one day in Little Rofck picking up $432. They say George Gore was the first holdout after winning the batting championship in the National League. He held out for an annual salary of $2,500 - and got it! Gabby Street caught a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington Monument. Back in 1931 a gal named Harriet Smith set some "Iron Man" records. With the Hollywood Girls she pitched 83 innings in one week and 200 games in one season. Charles Comiskey set a new pattern for first basemen. Instead of standing on the sack all the time, he moved away to field ground balls. Second basemen must have needed a net to cover all that ground between first and second. Tommy Barlow was too small to get much wood on the ball so he introduced the bunt. Wee Willie "Hit w'im where they ain't" Keeler was the first place hitter. Clark Griffith was the first to use the sacrifice bunt to score a man from third. The first baseball diamond was rectangular instead of diamond shaped. The pitcher was called a "thrower or giver" and he stood "12 paces" from the batter. This was the New England Game. The New York Game dif­ fered. They used the new shaped diamond and they changed the rule to throw "to" a baseman not "at" a base runner. Alexander J. Cartwright set bases 90feet apart back in 1845, the same distance still in use. On July l. 1859. Amherst and Williams played the first in­ tercollegiate baseball game. Amherst won that game 73 to 32. I'Zfcuwcvtol A Unique. New.

When players started using gloves and masks, the Old Timers came up with this: "We used no mattress on our hands, No cage upon our face; We stood right up and caught the ball With courage and with grace." The Cincinnati Red Stockings were the sensations of 1869. Annual salaries ranged from $800 to $1,200. The position of umpire was "dignified" - with his Prince Albert coat, silk hat and cane.

To insure integrity, the ump wasn't paid. Later he got $5 per game. Still later he was paid traveling expenses and "hotel bills" not to exceed $3 a day."

Hurdlers that are currently pacing the team are Bob Jozwiak and Chuck Clark, both Juniors. Mike Knaack, Paul Saladin, Chuck Peasley, Tom Smith, and some fine underclassmen will provide depth in the 880, mile, and two mile events. Knaack is a returning let- terman in the mile run and heads the corps of distance runners. Joe Pratt, Tim Desmond, and Tom Mathews are junior pole vaulters who are rapidly developing into first class performers. The weight events will be ably handled by Senior Lou Kobza and Juniors Chris Toren and John Moeflich. Toren is also a veteran of the high jump event. Marian will be hampered by a general lack of depth, a costly liability in dual and triangular meets. First class per­ formances will be needed by Beiers, Kobza, Knaack, Saladin.
