dropped away, and the baseball
grounds in several of the large cities
became simply an exchange for the
gamblers TO carry on their business.
Near n Collapse.
In 1875 these conditions became in
tolerable. professional baseball was al
deaths door. and many predicted its
ultimate collapse. In this crisis an
incident arose that resulted in an en-
tire reorganization of the baseball gov
eminent. and, as usually happens,
man equal TO the emergency appeared
in the person of William A. Hubert,
afterwards president of the Chicago
club. Mr.. Hubert was lover OF base
ball and a very strong character, and
later demonstrated that he was in ev-
cry way fitted 10 cope with the many
evils that had grown up in the game.
While Henry Chadwick is called
the father of baseball William A. HUI

that when the championship race is on
the business harness gives way some

baseball playing has been recognized

has since been under the management
and control OF regularly organized pro-
fessional clubs. banded together in as
socistiOns and leagues.
"The game advanced and prospered
at first under this new regime. but in

covers wide degree of latitude. for
some turbans are close and with the
Drim almost perpendicular. while 9TH
erS have the brim turned but slightly,
which gives the hat Il wider shape.
Some have the brim bent so that the
hat becomes Il very tricorne. One OF
this kind which was much admired at
the show was of black velvet, the
brim being laid in folds OF velvet. The
crown was outlined by band of royal
sable, with 4 tall plume of floating

called this an aiGret. but it is rather
too soft and floating to be justly named

One has Il bunch of red velvet roses,
and another has beautiful and artistic

green of the leaves and stems makes an
artistic contrast with the dark fur OF
the hat, which is in cavalier shape,
sharply turned up at the left side.
There are many very handsome hats

lieve was one Of the first baseball
clubs organized in the west.
From 1865 TO- 1870 baseball clubs
sprang UP everywhere. and the rivalry
between cities became intense. The
National club OF Washington was the
first eastern club 10 make an extended
trip through the west in 1867. and met
with only one defeat. and that at the
hands Of the Rockford club. of which
] had the honor 10 be the pitcher. The
result OF this game was the indirect
cause Of my afterward becoming a pro
