OLD TIMER IS AFTER

also managed the team. He was pitcher from away back then, and can fling 'em around a little bit now. What a tribute to the pluck and staying quail ties of Gilks? He started with and de- veloped Tom Ramsey, better known as Toad, that year in tI4s league Re- ferring to spit" and jump and stop balls ad nauseum, I seriously doubt if Ramsey's record. on the whole, in this league and subsequently in the American association has ever been equaled. His drop ball was at once the most pug gling and dazzling have ever seen. The best hitters in this country were unable to touch his drop until a plan was thought out to solve It. It worked like charm and then Toad" vas "all in.' The batsmen simply stepped forward and belted the horse hide on the beak before the break or drop" occurred, and there you are. Will they do the same eventual ly with the spit ball? We shall see.
 In 1886. the year mentioned by MT May berry, Atlanta won out again from Sa- vannah. "Blandy" Burell managed the Atlanta team, and Hank ODay, now a famous umpire, was on the twirling staff of the Savannah gang. "Gus'' Weighing was with Charleston, and so was Me Aleer. now of St. Louis Joe McNamara, better known as "Reldy' Mack, played second for Macon, and His 1eides'' Chamberlin, afterwards with the Cincin- natl Reds, was one of the pitchers. If anybody believes there is nsw or ever was faster outfelder in this league than McAleer, I would be glad to know his name. Still later Birmingham came into the fold and Abner Powell went to New Orleans as a pitcher.
 I saw the New York Mutuals play in Savannah in 1869 Still later I had the pleasure of seeing George Wright play short with Joe Start on first. In 1876 first saw Adrian C. Anson. I thought then and think now that in a good many ways he was one of the best If not the greatest batsman that ever grasped a bludgeon. Father Chadwick wrote base ball for a Brooklyn paper more then fifty years ago. Respectfully.
