IS SEASONS HE BAT7ED OVER 800

baseball guides never mentioned

This is the complaint of George
Van Haltren, RIP" as he is known
among sporting writer's, now UNI
pire in the Pacific Coast league
after playing baseball from 1884 to
June, 1909. Strangely enough, Van
Haltren wound up his playing in
Oakland, Cal, where a quarter of
a century ago he began as a
catcher. Most all the baseball his
tory was written in that stretch
of years.
But now, Van resents his treat
ment by the historians of the
game. Thirteen years l hit 800
or above and the guides never
mentioned it," he repeated. 1T
was true that l played a couple of
years in the Brotherhood at
Brooklyn and later in the Ameri-
can association at Baltimore when
they broke away from the National
league and maybe that had some
thing to do with it, but they gave
other players credit who went over
with me-"
And Van fingered his indicator
and watched the pitchers warming
up in the lot before the game.
This grand old man of baseball
began catching for the Greenhood-
Moran team at Oakland in 1884
when they went to it barehanded
and leased off, on the ball instead
of allowing it to sink into a big

sold him to Chicago and for two
years. during 1887 and 1888, he
played in the field and pitched for
mighty Pop" Anson. From that
time on he played field entirely,
for the Brooklyn Brotherhood team
in 1890; then went to Baltimore
and there saw Muggsy McGraw
break into baseball. He played for
Pittsburg during 1898, the year of
the great worlds fair at Chicago,

Of Those Favored-Places
Pitfalls for Young Men.

Continued indifference as to
gambling rooms in the hotels, in
the rear of cigar stores, and in
sumptuously furnished private
quarters, such as maintained by
Doc Brown, after they have been
exposed in The Press, serve to add
further support TO the belief that

was called to their attention, tried

that the stories that are out are

tie games are permitted, and 9th

concludes that the stories of po-

When a member of the detective
