name was prominent On its rolls. But he
did not entirely give up cricket. So In
1855 the Union Cricket club OF Cincinnati,
q most powerful organization, took him
west to manage It's team. While acting
In that capacity he was employed by the
Cincinnati Baseball club TO manage and
pitch for its nine. The Cincinnatis and
Buckeyes were local rivals and their par.
tisan games lead TO the formation Of the
celebrated Red Stockings. The two clubs
fought 10 to- finish in 1868. Harry
Wright's club won, and the Buckeyes dis
banded.
The Cincinnati club became so elated
that IL gave Harry carte blanche Go get to-
gether the first purely professional team
ever put on the diamond--namely, the ia
nous Cincinnati Red Stockings, which did
not lose game In 1869 and none In 1870
till the 14th of June The team consisted
of Asa Brainerd, pitcher; Douglas Allison,
catcher; Charles Gould first base; Charles
Sweasey, second base; George Gould, short
stop; Fred Watterson, third base; Andy
Leonard, left field; Harry Wright, center
field; Cal McVey, right field, and George
Atwater, change pitcher. OF these all are
alive but Harry Wright and Brainerd.
Allison Is In Washington Gould and Wat
terson In Cincinpati, Sweasey I'm New
England, George Wright In Boston and
McVey In California. The location of
Leonard and Atwater is unknown to me.
When Harry Wright, George Wright,
McVey and Leonard went To Boston, the
famous Red Stockings disbanded. Most of
the other players went to the Olympics OF
Washington Harry's subsequent career Is
history. He remained In Boston till the
end Of 1881. The next two years he was
with the Providence club. In 1884 he took
the management of the Philadelphias and
kept 1t ten years. In 1898 he very nearly
lost his eyesight and from then on until
his death never had perfect vision.
Several weeks ago A. Is. Champion Of
Cincinnati died In London. He was presi-
dent Of the famous Red Stockings while
Harry Wright was their manager. 1t was
Champion who, against Harry wright's
judgment, ordered the tie game in Brook
lyn, on June IA, 1870, 20 he played out
when both captains had agreed to let 1t re-
main a tie The game went on and the
Reds suffered their first defeat in year
and half. Colonel Joyce, the secretary of
the club, died half score of years ago
Now that notable trio are all gone-Joyce,
Champion aud Wright.
The deceased was urged last summer TO
compile his baseball experience and pub
lish It, He considered the proposition IA
vorably, and It probably would have been
carried out this winter had he lived. What
a loss, therefore, the game has suffered, in
addition to the loss of the man himself
few can realize. .. L. CAYLoR.

were cut of from egress by the stairway.
Every window was filled with frightened

but not until its deadly work had been
done. Mrs. Holmes, 60 years OF age, was
