The one youngster above all others
who should lift his hat every time he

New York. June 25.-Much IS due

of the professional baseball players.
There was a time not so very long
ago that the youngster who took up
the sport as a profession was looked
upon as a rowdy. considered unfit to

the sport that is bound to be all ma
tionaI in it's scope.
There are nearly as many ex-college
players now members OF the National
and American leagues as there are
those who have not had the benefits Of
the higher education" and they Will
continue to enter the professional
ranks just so long as the game is kept
at it's present high level
The first college player that I re-
member OF to take up baseball as
profession was Lee Richmond, who
joined the Worcester, Mass. club, then
a member Of the International associa-
ton in 1879. Richmond was a Brown
university student He was left
handed pitcher, a very rare article at
that time. and aad made Il great repu-
tation i'm college circles. He was IN
duced to become a professional by
Frank Bancroft, now the business
manager Of the Cincinnati Reds.
Richmond made just as big sensa-
ton in professional baseball as he had
as an amateur. He was a "southpaw
with a curve. and he had as much
speed as that other famous fork-hand
pitcher of late years. RUDE WaddeI-
The first game Richmond pitched as
a professional was against the Spring
field. Mass. club, and the latter was
shut out without a run and with only
two OF three safe hits TO their credit
The score was 5 to o. The next year
1880. the worcester club joined the
National league. and Richmond con-
tinued his successes in the higher class
organization
