EWING'S FIRST GAME,
Star Catcher Of the Old School Lost
His Nerve Before Reporting.

Buck Ewing, VINO is claimed by
many expert baseball critics to have
been the best catcher that was ever
turned out, and who in his playing days
was noted for his splendid courage and
daring, used to tell with a Sreat deal
of relish how his nerve deserted him
When hr was first given chance ty
the Cincinnati Club.
Ewing ut this time was employed by
one Of the large Cincinnati breWcries,
ana in his leisure hours used to play
on amateur teams about the city. Ills
work as an amateur had so many dis
tinctiVe CaImarks of that of an expert
that the attention of the manager of
the Cincinnati team was called to
young Ewing, with the result that
Buck was told to show up At the Gin
cinnati hall PARK on a certain after
noon to be eiver a try0ut.
The night before this suspicious day
Buck was unable to get even a wink
Of sleep. Re rolled and tossed until TIE
welcome sunlight east its rays into his
bedroom. AS the day advanced he be-
came more nervous, and when the time
arrived for him to report at the park,
he was almost in state Of collapse;
vet he somehow managed to pull him
self together sufficiently to start for
the ball grounds.
The nearer he got TO the park the
weaker his nerve grew. and he felt

the grounds. BuJ here his nerve gave
away entirely, and instead of present
