found sensation throughout the baseball
world. Bergen started his baseball ca
reer as a member of the Kansas CITY
team under Jimmy Manning, although
he had played with minor clubs in New
England previous to that time. He was
sold to the Boston club in the, spring of
1896. He was always noted as man

wrangles with him. Bergen always had
an idea that the other members of the
team were conspiring against him, and at
times he would disappear and not show
up for days and weeks. The players OF
the Boston team charged last fall that

stages last season cost them the pennant.
However, notwithstanding his peculiar
disposition and aptitude for the sulks, he

catchers in the business. There is no

players that the wife and innocent chill
