WHEN BASE BALL WAS
PLAYED FOR THE SPORT

The old archives of base ball that now
and then are dug out OF some neglected
serapbook read like resurrected tablets
from the excavations of Pompeii, so for
eign are they to the management of the
sport in these later days. Away back In
the days of 1865 and ST, when the country
was just emerging from the throes of the
rebellion, the game was played by asso-
Citations in every section of the east, local
and national pride being the dominant fac
tor that controlled the destinies of the diff
ferent clubs. Every individual member of
these clubs paid dues in weekly INSTALL
ments to defray the expense Of procuring
bats and balls. 1t was a typical national
game, played on open green fields with
turf
The treasurer OF the organization was
the big man. for to him the clubs looked
for their trips to Annapolis Baltimore,
Philadelphia or Richmond.
The Idea of charging admission fees to
the games was repugnant, this feeling be-
ing exhibited by the parent of the present
National base ball club back i'm 1865 The
Athletics of Philadelphia and the Atlantics
OF Brooklyn in their championship con-
tests had each won game. The Nationals
offered to them the use of their neutral
grounds on the White Lot to play off the
tie. In the reply an inquiry was made into
now much money could be realized by the
sale Of seats. -Fhe answer to this shows
better than anything else just how the
Nationals felt about it:
while it would afford US much real
pleasure to have the Atlantics and Athletics
accept the invitation already extended them
to play on our grounds. and we would do all
In our power to make their visit here
pleasant and agreeable to them. yet we are
totally ayerse Co the principle you advance
that of playing base ball for money. The
Nationals en- masse are opposed to any
prostitution of the game for the pecuniary
grandizement of any individual member,
and will ever discourage any attempt to
accomplish such object. We maintain our
organization for exercise and amusement
only, and our aim has ever been to sup
port and encourage our great national game
as healthy, exhiiarating and athletic out
