WILD BILL" DONOT4N
BASEBALL in THE DAYS
OF ANSON AND SPALDING
e. J. Roe Says National Pastime Was
More Exciting Then Than 1t
Is To-Day.

I'm my time we used to line 'em
out" E. J. Roe c. Kansas City, ball
player in the days of Capt. Adrian c.
Arson, A. G. Spalding, George Wright
and Charles Comiskey, said the other
day in speaking of old and modern
baseball.
Hit and run plays, squeeze plays
sacrifice hitting and bunting were I'M
known" he continued. Every man
went to the plate and the only idea he
had in his head was to lose the ball.
The infielders made few errors in
those days, because they did not have
many chances. The outfielders were
the players that were kept busy. l
used to play first base for the old Can
ton, ILL.,, Reds. They were considered
the second best team in the state at
that time. Arson and Spalding played
on the Rockford team. which was con-
sidered the best IN the state. I played
many games in the summer of 1879
against them. Charley Comiskey was
just breaking into the game at that
time and was a pitcher for the Du-
buque team Pitchers in those days
did not throw curve balls and there
was no such thing as overland pitch
ing. The pitcher threw the ball with
an underhand motion. They never
tried to give man base on balls, but
wanted him to hit it.
1.-THE salaries in those days were
jokes compared with what ball players
receive at present There was no reg
ular salary for playing on the home
team 1t was an honor that every
young man coveted. The rivalry
| among the small towns to possess a
winning ball team was intense. This
rivalry was the only opportunity ball
| player had to make money. Some club
| that was anxious to win game would
| send to a town where there was a
! good team and hire from one to three
players. These men each received five
dollars day and their expenses for
going to this town. That was consid,
cred good money, and sometimes an
extra fine player made as much as $25
or $50 per month. With no more
money than that in sight, and that
only for two or three months year
baseball looked like a poor way tc
earn living, and did not stay in the
game very long. / played few years
after leaving school at the time was
II or 10 years old, then gave 1t up fol
something steady.
IT still enjoy the game and go when
have an opportunity, but fail to see
where the present day game has any
thing on the game we used to play. In
fact, believe there was more excite
ment in our games than there is now
No man went to bat in the old days
ard struck out attempting to bunt
ball. The scientific batter in our da!
was the man who could place his hits
The player who could place the hit
into a certain uncovered territory wal
the only scientific batsman. The res
of them hit the ball as hard as the.
could and trusted to luck. Anothe
thing we had in those days was thu
club spirit. The present ball player
seem Indifferent. So long as the sal
airy check comes regularly they do no
seem to care whether they win or not.

Cannot Slide Well,

'If Harry Niles could slide well, y
said Lajoie, he'd be the most danger
Gus base runner in the big league. His
natural speed and ability to get a
quick start severely handicap a catch
er; but somehow or other he seems to
stop the moment he hits the turf. Oft
en- he misjudges the distance and
dives too soon, stopping before he
reaches the sack. It's fault that can
be easily corrected. When Niles does
correct it, no one will lead him at base
stealing"
