President Young recently gave In the
following short interview a good history OF
professional baseball:
The National association OF baseball was
organized In the fall OF 20, and the first
season OF this, the professional organiza-
ton In baseball. was In III, said President
Young In the fall OF II Harry Wright
was engaged by the Boston club to manage
their team. The first pcnuant OF The pro-
fcssional association was won by the Ath-
letlc club, with Boston as second In the
race. In ~ Harry Wright won the FIRST
flag for Boston, and three
successive seasons the ponnant went to the
Hub OF the Universe. as DR.. oliver Wendell
Holmes chriatened Boston In 70 came the
biz shit. that Wholesale deal OF stars In
which koss Barnes. Cal McVey, Jim White
and AL Spalding Went to Chicago.
The centennial year was an off year In
baseball In boston, But the following SEA
son Harry Wright, one of the greatest
Judges OF "A bali player that ever lived,
whipped u championship team into shape,
Boston also won the pennant In rs. John
Morrill, managed the Boston team from SO
to SO, aud won ono peBnant. In 90 James
Hart. tho present president OF the Chicago
c,uV. WAS lne n.anagor OF the Boston team
In 80 Frank Selee, successful MINOR
league manager, from the Western associa-
ton, but a Massachusetts Yankee oy birth,
was engaged as manager by tho Boston club
owners. Selee has been the manager Tor
the Boston team from brotherhood year 10
date. During his first seaeon he brought
with him to Boston II pitcher who stands
as an honor to his profession ! rean
Charles Nichols, who has been Instrumental
in Winning every pennunt that the Boston
club has won since Mr.. Selee assumed the
rcins of management In Boston.
This is Nj. Selee's ninth year in Boston,
and the Boston team under his management
has won five pennants. 1t looks, after all,
as though Boston has monopoly on PEN
nants. Credit is due Mesars, Soden, Co
nant ana billings for their conservative
policy in keeping ball player season after
season II that player gives the club good
service. There have been fewer changes
| In the Boston club than any team in the
league since 1890, The patrons of the game
| In Boston are n fair minded class who ave
| Il visiting team all credit possible For a
great play There Is nothing of the uar-
tsan about the patrons Of baseball in nos-
ton
! believe that Mr. Selee is TO be con
graduated on winning the pennult, bandl-
capped as bis team was by injuries to his
players. When the accidents PIT Tcnney
and Hamilton out of the game II looked 10
me as il Boston would be lucky to finish in
tho third notch, But the team played
steady, consistent bali in spite OF 'ha acci
dents to Hamilton and Tenney and also tic
stahl, who was on the hospital list ,or two
weeks.
