this mask was worn by me in the three
remaining years that l played and
caught on the nine.
"Thayer took out patent on the in
vention, and, according to rumor. made
quite a sum of money on it, though I
cannot say this as fact"
Here are the facts as l know them.
In the spring of 1875 ! returned from
my studies in Europe and resumed my
position as catcher for the Beacon team
of Boston, at that time catching Beals,
Hooper and sometimes Ernst. During
the early summer of that year, the
Beacons played several games with the
HarvardS. and | heard rumOrS at Cam
bridge of a face protector, or mask, that
Fred Thayer, captain and third base
man of the Harvard team. was getting
up, and which Thatcher, who was
catching for Harvard at that time. was
to use. Naturally I was interested in
the new-fangled protector. and went to
Thayer's room sometime during the
summer or fall of 1875. saw a working
model of the device. and if I remember
rightly. made some suggestions con-
corning it, Soon after this. either late
1876 | procured one of these masks. of
whom 1 cannot remember. but l think
through Thayer. and I used it little
during the early games of 1876, 1 left
Boston on the fifth of July, 1876, and
came to Bridgeport. Conn. and have
since resided here / brought with me
at that time the mask to which I have
referred. and have it in my possession
today. relic of the past and / believe.
one of the first face protectors ever
used Later | saw Tying using the same
| thing. but as I left Boston a year be-
fore the date he mentions and as l saw
a model Of the device some months be-
fore that time. in Thayer's room. I do
not think there can be any doubt about
the accuracy of my statement.
l had always supposed that the in
vention was wholly Thayers. and am
still firm in the belief that to him
should be given all the credit for it.
However. be this as it may. know that
had and used a mask that is now in
my possession in Boston in the spring
of the year 1876
This old relic. while it would look
very peculiar if placed side by side
with one of the protectors the back
stops use these days. was none the less
a complete protection. and fully an
swered all the necessary requirements.
TIE mask is in d very good state of
preservation. and if necessary could be
used at the present time
AS regards to who wore the mask
first, Tying or Thatcher. there may be
some doubt, though | believe the evil
! 1ence favors Thatcher. There is one
thing that cannot be questioned-the
| first mask was the invention of the cap
| tain of the Harvard baseball team of

scentiously than I ever did in my life

not been so severe as that of O'Brien. his
manager claims he is fit to make O'Brien

but the immense difference in weight will
be used by Johnson to great advantage
in the clinches. Johnson will enter the
ring at close to 200 pounds. while O'Brien
will tip the scales at about 40. johnson
said tonight that the bout would not go
the limit and that he would be returned
the victor.
Both fighters will remain at their train
ing quarters until tomorrow afternoon.
The largest crowd that ever witnessed
fight in Philadelphia will be at the
ringside when Referee Michigan calls
the men to the center of the ring.

Johnson and
O'Brien Ready
For Big Scrap.

Philadelphia, May 1S-Interest in
creascs as the time approaches for the
slx-round fight at the National Athletic
Club in this city between Jack johnson
and Jack O'Brien. Both men ended
their hard training today. They will
enter the ring about 1890 o'clock to-
morrow night. O'Brien has been do
ing the more conscientious work. He
has been in training at King of Prus
STA. Pa. near this city, for nearly a
month and he claims to be in better
physical condition than at any other
time in his life.
johnson has been making his final
preparations for the fight at George
Coles training quarters at Merchant
vile. N. J. The worlds champion also
claims to be in first-class shape for the
bout. He has taken on some flesh but
in his work outs this does not seem to
have caused him any Inconvenience.
There has been very little betting
in this city on the fight and it is not
expected that any amount of money
will change hands. This is probably
due more than anything else to the fact
that the local law forhids decisions
being given in boxing bouts. The Penn
sylvania law prohibits prize fights but
permits boxing bouts limited to six
rounds.
The house has ben practically sold
out for the fight. Johnson has a guar
antee of $4,000. while O'Brien will re-
seive 20 per cent. of the gross receipts.

any one of the many features
which now make up the ball

interesting reading at any time, and
therefore, I write this in the hope that
it will be appreciated by your readers
as an authentic piece of baseball
history.
In the year 1896. in story in the
New York Sun. Howard X. Thatcher. a
practicing physician of Dexter, Me-.
wrote as follows:
Il entered Harvard University in
1874. and in that year played ON the
ball team, always catching. Henry
Hooper, now successful merchant of
Boston, used to pitch for me. and he
always delivered the ball overland. He
was very swift, and ! always stood as
near the bat as the catchers do now.
though had no protection for the face.
l could dodge pretty well, and as curves
were unknown. l could Judge the ball
to a nicely.
I'm the winter of 1875. Ernst, a stu
dent at the university, thought he
would try a new wrinkle, and started
in practicing the underhand throw. and
discovered that the ball would curve. l
had 10 catch for him. too. and l set
about thinking how I could protect my
face l used to wear rubber band
over my mouth. but / decided that this
was not enough protection for me.
When we played our first game in the
spring of 1876, 1 put on a. mask which
l had made from heavy wire. The
edges were wound with leather, and I
had strap on the chin and another
at the forehead My chum, Fred Thay-
er, helped me to make it. and 1 confess
it was a queer-loking thing. was
ridiculed for wearing it, because people
thought that a catcher did not need
any protection for his face. Conse-
quertly l put it aside. but Thayer stood
by it. had it patented. and won many
lawsuits against sporting houses who
realized the value Of the device. and
sought to obtain control of it p"

James A. Tying, who was at the time
a resident of Bar Harbor. Me.
GAS regards the story of the first
mask. your correspondent was not so
far off in his dates The first appear

as he places it.
II was at that time member of the
Harvard nine, and Ihayer. who was
captain of the. team. wanted me to fill
the, position Of catcher. To this my
family We're opposed. on account Of the
danger. and l suggested to him the idea
of having a mask made that would
protect my face. He followed my sug-
gestion, and a wire maker in Boston
made me mask which. although
heavy and clumsy compared with those
in use at the present day. answered the
purpose for whichsit was intended. and

Side team III q strenuous manner, un-
less 1t begins to show winning form in

trade whereby Donohue, Altrock and

the beginning Of a grand refnodeling
OF the old combination. The team, as
1t IS now. is woefully weak in batting
strength. and If the right kind of out
fielder is found II is likely that the
old Roman will be willing to give
good man or two in order to get him.
He has large pitching staff now that
ne can afford to trade of his pitchers
II the player offered will bring strength

BATES AND COLBY PLAY
TODAY At WATERvlllE.

Lewiston. Me. May 1S.-(SpeciaD.-
Bates College will send a strong but
rather shaken-up team against Colby
at Watcrvlle tomorrow. Hartman
will pitch and no doubt he will again
be up against Good. Hartman pitched
a remarkable game 10 days ago against
this team and with good support the
game should be a close one.
Bates infield will be considerably
changed from the way it has lined up
in the two proceeding State college
games. Stevens. the fast Freshman
second baseman, has been obliged to
leave college for the rest of this year
and his absence makes a hole in the
infield. Coach burlington was very for
tunate in finding man Immediately
who seems to he able to fill the posi-
ton to perfection. This is Cobb. the
Gardiner boy. who has been playing
outfield for the past three seasons. On
the recent trip to Massachusetts Coach
Purir gton tried Cobb on second and he
made an excellent showing. His old
position in center field is hard to fill.
but there is considerable material from
which to pick a man. Carroll, II. play
ed the position on the recent trip. Car
roll is fair hitter and unless some
thing quite promising shows up he will
probably hold that position for awhile.
Cole and F. Clason will play left and
right fields respectively. The rest of
the team will remain the same for the
game tomorrow at least. Two extra
men will be taken on the trip. DeLano
VIII probably be one of these men and
Bickford may be the other. Manager
Roseland, Assistant Manager Merrill
and Coach Purington will accompany
the team to Waterville.
