HOW THEY PLAYED
INTHE EDAYSOF'75
Flip" Lafierty, Of the Old
QuiCkStepS, Pitched 40
Straight Games

When it comes to talking about
pitchers Of the present day who arc
unable to pitch more than one, or pos
sibly two games Of baseball in week,
a glance at the records of pitchers Of
thirty years ago. when baseball was
almost as popular as it is to-day in
comparison with the magnitude of the
cities. will show that the twirlers in
the days of yore were there with the
goods from the beginning Of the first
to the end Of the ninth.
In those days there was no stronger
amateur club, in this section Of the
country at least, than the Quicksteps,
of Wilmington, which was ready 20
meet all comers at all times. and for
any old stake that might be proposed.
/ These were the days when Frank b.
! CFlip') Lafferty. who now conducts a
place Of business in East Seventh
street, was in his prime as a twirler.
And he could throw them over some,
too, and had the strength TO back his
ltwisters up with at that.
During the season Of 1875 Flip"
pitched every game that the Quick
steps played, forty in all, and came
out with a record of twenty-seven
games won to but thirteen lost For
.his record in that memorable season
he was presented with a handsome
gold badge by admirers, and which he
retains to this day.
'Tis true that the curve ball, the spit
ball and every other kind of puzzling
ball that is pitched to-day was not in
vogue in the days of rs, but it is
nevertheless true that the batters hit
them out just as hard and long as they
do at the present time, and home runs
were more frequent than at present
The makeup of the Quicksteps IN
those days is not an indistinct memory
i'm the minds of the old baseball fans
and more than one Of them can recall
the "swats" of the champion players OF
lanti-centennial days.
A roster Of the old club shows the
following men who took part in the
games of the Quicksteps, the number
of games played by them, the runs
made by each. the base hits. average
runs per game and the average hits
per game glance at it might not
prove uninteresting. 1t follows::

WON'T STAND
FOR DTSSENSIONS
Owners of Wilmington Team
Announce Their Stand
on This Point

II is an open secret that there is dis
sension among some Of the players Of the
Wilmington baseball team. which, If not
checked. will create serious trouble in the
team before the season closes.
In yesterday afternoons game Jimmy"
Sebring did not play owing, it is said. to
some misunderstanding between himself
and Grady regarding the recent deal
whereby "Red" owens was obtained from
Reading and mike" Lynch and Johnny
Barthold were transferred to the Tri-State
team OF that city.
The owners of the Wilmington club are
well-known business men Of Wilmington
who are determined to conduct the team
in a business like manner and try to give
to the baseball public a team that viii be
a credit TO the city and viii play games
that will repay every fan who goes to
South Side Park.
With these ends in view the Whining
ton owners announce to-day that they
propose hereafter to dismiss forthwith
any dissenters or trouble makers found
in the ranks of the Wilmington team.
Thousands Of dollars have been invested
in the local team with a view OF mixing
It what it should be- a team that is
worthy Of the support Of the best baseball
city in thesTri-state circuit.
The owners further realize that they
have the support of the public back OF
them and will use every effort during the
season TO give to Wilmington the best
baseball that can be produced under the
regulations Of the Tri-State organization.
1t was a result of a wrangle between
Manager Grady and Captain sebring that
the latter did not go into the game yes
terday. Mcfarland did not go in because
OF an injured leg.
