bequite Anglicized and his education was
largely obtained at the great university
of Oxford. He gets his title of general
from the fact that he was appointed pay
master general Of New York state in
1856. His tastes are said to tend much
stronger to literature than to politics,
though he takes quite n h. althy interest
in the latter, as is shown by his election

Tho North American Hcview he will
have abundant opportunity to develop
in both directions.

"a fellow named Ewing, who lives up in
Fulton" replied John.
"Why, we never heard Of him." was the
answer, generally so fatal to persons In every
rank Of life.
John was persistent, however, and induced
the president to make an engagement to go
up to the Pendeton grounds on the next
Sunday morning. A buggy was procured
and the trip made. Arriving they found u

he was being watched, and, therefore, played
all the better. After the close of the game
he was approached and asked If he would

the offer held out to him.
"Yes, I'll take it," promptly answered
Buck, rather fattered by the tempting salary
promised.

''Do you play this afternoon"

And he was there, and played game at
second that opened the eyes of the big gather
ing present, jumping at once into popular
favor While with this club he developed his
catching ability and alternated behind the
bat and at second base.
A year later, when in Rochester, N Y,
with Joe Gerhardt, Reilly was met at the
hotel one evening by the manager of the local
club, which was in need Of catcher. 1t was
for the purpose of getting one that he called
and asked tho visiting club as to where he

Gerhardt looked up and said
"Why wouldn't that young fellow Ewing
dor
Just the man was thinking about" re-
marked Reilly.
The result was that Buck was telegraphed
for that night and caught the season out.
The following winter Bob Ferguson, hearing
his playing lauded by u manager who was
about to sign him, quietly slipped Off and en-
gagged him for the Troy club. There he met
Connor, Welch, Gillespie and other players,
and earned the reputation that he now en-
joys In his case the old saying that a pro-
phet Is without honor in his own country is
partly applicable, for when catching for the
Mohawk Browns in 1880 it was proposed by
the directors Of the league team to engage
him, Reilly and Joe Sommers: but the pro
position was sneered down with the words:
Nobody viii pay to see lot Of Mill Creek
Bottom amateurs play ball"
Two years later repentance and mutual re-
elimination were in order among the sheer.
ing delegation.
TOM DAILY.
Thomas p, DAILY, the well known catcher,
was born about twenty-fou years ago in

with the Somersets, an amateur team of his
native city, and later in the season with the
semi-professional club Of Millyille, n. J.

How Buck Ewing First Got
His Start.
A GOOD ONE FROM THE BEGINNING

Tom DAILY. the Well Known Catcher Who
was Released by the Chicago Tcam-M
II. Ford. President Of the Michigan State
baseball League.
Tho great and only Buck Ewing, Of the
New York team, has been doing some great
work this season.
Speaking Of the rise Of local players who
are now famous on the professional ball field,
John Reilly gives graphic description Of
the manner in which Buck rose 10 his pres
ent height Of fame, says The Cincinnati En-
quircr. Years ago the champion amateur
team Of Cincinnati was the Mohawk Brown
club, 80 called because the majority OF its
players lived in the vicinity Of Mohawk
bridge.
In addition 70 the baseball team the club
was of a social kind, composing many men,
bers who were Of the contribution order. 1t
had regular set Of officers, the president be-
ing invested with executive power TO be used
at his own discretion. In order to keep pace
with rival clubs the Mohawk Browns were
gradually strengthened, Reilly and "Red"
Mallow, a splendid left fielder, being added.
The time came to get q second baseman to
take the place Of a player who had become
weak in that position.
The matter was discussed at a meeting OF
tho club ON Saturday night, and many names

defeated for reelection. Since then he has
devoted his time to tho active practice Of law
