Some people are apt to scoff at
these old-timers, but a look at the
baseball guide of last year tells the
old story For instance. Dahlen
played in seven less games than the
mighty Honus Wagner yet he had
nearly a hundred more assists than
the big Dutchman, which says that
William the Naughty must have coy
cred little ground during the sea
son of 1908.
But he has been so long in the
game that he covers his position me-
chemically, and his continued expe-
rience gives him that ease of move
ment that comes with keeping at one
continued line of exercise.
It was in 1891 that Dahlen broke into
the fast set After a short year in
minor league baseball in New York
state. he found himself tied up with
the Chicago National league team in
that year, and under the leadership
of Old Pop Arson, at that time cap
tain and manager. During his first
year with the Windy City outfit, he
played third base and the outfield,
and only once or twice was shifted
to short,
The next year, though he started
the season at this position, and made
such a record that he remained a fix
ture in the place and stayed at 1t for
the remainder of his connection with
Chicago.
For eight consecutive years he
wore the word Chicago on the uni
form, and in his last year with that
team was made captain. But foxy
Ned Hanlon was then collecting an
aggregation of stars in Brooklyn, and
Dahlen was traded for Gene Demon
treville, and became a member of the
famous Brooklyn outfit that included
stars like Jennings, Keller and
Kelley.
Bill always thought pretty well OF
Brooklyn and was right in his own
diggings for the following five years
playing both third base and shortstop
/ while on Hanlon's team.
Then another shift in the continu

across the river to Muggsy McGraw
and in 1904-5-6-7 he was with the

for him Brooklyn got Charlie Babb
and Pitcher Jack Cronin and $500
in cash. The last move brought the
Bad One to the Hub and he has been
there since.
1t is more than interesting to get a
man like Dahlen talking, for he has
a fund of anecdotes and interesting
data on baseball that would keep you
interested for hours. He played with
two championship teams-Brooklyn
and New York-and has Travelled over
