 Twenty-Five years ago Frank Selee was first connected with baseball, appearing iii 1884 with the Waltham team of the Massa chusetts league. The Waltham club was transferred that same year to Law renee, Mass, and a little later the league disbanded In 1885 and 1886 Selee was with Haverhill, Mass, acting as manager of that team in the reorganized Massa- chusetts league.
 Oshkosh, Wis, was the scene of Selees labors in 1887, and there he won ais first pennant. Oshkosh was then in the Vest ern league. There was no club in Osh- kosh in 1888 and Selee went to Omaha, his team finishing fifth. But in 1889 still heading Omaha. in the Western league, Selee led his team to the chamiponship, getting his second minor league pennant.
 It was the following year, 1890, that Se- lee joined the ranks of major league man. agers, going to Boston, and here he stayed until President Hart got him to take hold of the West Side team and assist in building it up.
 Selee's first year at Boston found his team running fifth in the race but in 1891 began his long run of victories. Boston getting the flag that year. In 1892 he re- peated and in 1893 he made 1t three straight
 Boston was third in 1894, sixth in 1895 and fourth in 1896 in the old 12-club league, but in 1897 he came back with an other pennant winner, and repeated In 1898, beating Baltimore each time. Bos- ton was second in 1899. third in 1900 and fifth in 1901. Then Mir. Hart called him to the west to take up the Cubs and builc them up to a great team.
 For the last four years very little has been heard of Selee by his old friends in the middle west and east. He has been an active man in the affairs of the West ern league for most of the time since he has been away from Chicago. being at the head of the Pueblo (Col) team for a time and also being connected with the Denver team at one time

 Young Farr pitched his vapor floats well enough to win from most any aggre- gation. He frightened the Ensley boys down to six neatly distributed bingles, but what's the use when the Birmingham boys couldn't apply any of the four com piled from Fields large and varied reper- toire. ~
