THE old MEXICO
BROWNS WRITTEN UP

| In an issue OF the Mexico Weekly
Ledger published during June 1884,
there is an extensive article from the
pen Of the late Bass Runkle givingths
details Of the Mexico Browns "the
Champion Country Baseball Teamin
the State The article is of general
interest as it contains the names Of
some whose prowess on the diamond
is still talked Of and Others who have
left there old stamping grounds and
departed for new fields IN the pursuit
OF fortune.
The following excerpt from the in.
PRODUCTION gives some idea Of the Or
g~anization.
The Mexico Browns have now the
best base ball nine In the State out
OF The large cities. They have beauti.
full grounds under fence and expect to
give our citizens rare sport this sea.
son. They are under obligations TO
some OF our citizens for valuable as
~slstance and will Try to merit the
same By playing good ball and acting
under all occasions Ia a gentlemanly
manner, so their friends and hackers
need have no reason TO blush for
them. Tue nine is composed OF young
business men OF good habits, who be-
lieve In manly and moral sport. Ma
betting or drinking Is permitted and
Roue but healthful results a result
from this organization
The first picture In the list OF pho
tographs was that Of the editor Of
the Ledger, manager OF the team. He
wore. cooked over one ear, q high hat,
would you believe it9 and Col. Runkle
says he looked like X. X. Fox, of the
Police Gazette.
Leonard Baldwin, catcher, at n
time with the st. Louis Nationals, y
came next and was followed by Wal
ter Baldwin, the pitcher, vino was said
to be the second member of one of the
finest batteries in Missouri.
A. J.. Winscott, captain OF the
Browns and first baseman, was
praised highly for bis ability with
the bat and the manner in which he
acquitted himself the previous season
BY not making an error.
Arnold E. Hurd, held left field, and
was q OF the strongest base runners
On the team.
Perry X. Riggs, the third baseman
was a semi-professinnal, as we're most
Of his team mates and was imported
for the reason like several others in
the Browns lineup.
Charles B Morris, was a fast short
and is credited with "pinning
the grounders down very gracefully.
Bass Bush fielded and pitched and
vas a strong member OF the nine.
William Ebey, another fielder, was
IN Illinois importation that played a
and CONSTANT game.
S. J. Buckner, waslinflelder and ha d
share of praise for being one OF
she best Of base runners.
Charles Rolling, an inflelder, had
his quota Of praise flor being one OF
he best Of base runners.
Charles A. Buckner, was the latest
acquisition TO the team and has been
with the Jefferson City nine
where he was a star.
Chas Gooch Dobyns and James G..
rrimble were the Official scorers and
Iept the crowd posted on all points
lnder dispute.
Nearly every member Iof the team
vas six feet tall and weighed ia the
Ieighborhood Of l65 pounds. The maj.
were under twenty-five and had
ormerly resided in some other city.
We regret we are unable to unearth
be pictures OF the gentlemen as they
ppeared at that time but they can
lot be located. L
