CHAPTER vi.

Go to the Philadelphia Athletics.
When signed with the Forest Citys
it was understood by the folks at
home that at the end of the season
should go back to Notre Dame and do
some studying. In fact, the old gentle
man made that one of the conditions
before he would consent to let me
join the Rockford club. / don't re-
member what my original intention
was-I didn't usually think far
enough ahead to have intentions-but
when the end of my first season of
professional baseball arrived nothing
short of straitjacket could have
taken me back to college. Sink or
swim, l had cast my lot with the
game and nothing on the little old
planet was going to swerve me, now
that my mind was made up.
had some reason to feel that base
ball was substantial proposition. On
several occasions during the past sea-
son had been approached by man.
ayers OF various clubs with offers that
seemed almost fabulous to my youth
full mind. What 1 really wanted, and
tried my best to get, was a position
with the Chicago club, then under the
management of Tom Foley, the vet
eran billiard room keeper Tom took
my application as joke, and finally
informed me that he was looking for
players of reputation and not for
schoolboys with the baseball bug AL
though | didn't know 1t at the time

to get to Chicago-it so happened that
old Toms rundown was one of the
most fortunate things that ever came
my way
The management of the Athletic
club of Philadelphia had been keep
ing tab on my work with the Rock
fords, and just before the close of the
season | was offered the sum of $1,25O
to play with that organization during
the season of 1872 That offer looked
mighty good to me. and accepted
with thanks. l didn't like to leave
Rockford and the Forest Ctys, for l
had found the people of the little Iii
nois city the squarest ever. but they
couldn't afford to keep me, although
gave them the first show They were
not certain that they would be able to
maintain professional team any
longer, and so | jumped at the Phil
adelphia offer.
| don't remember Just why, but
didn't think it necessary to consult
the home folks before l attached my
name with a spread eagle flourish to
the Athletic contract When the old
gentleman, who was running the An
son house, heard of it his preliminary
remarks, l was told by a witness,

my batting record. had figured in

over the batting records of recent
years, don't find anything to make
me blush over that early showing.

Somehow or other don't exactly
know how l have gained the reputa-
ton of being a believer In baseball

have in my past career resorted to
certain little innocent devices to make
matters interesting, but l decline to
stand for the various kinds of skull
duggery on the ball ground that have
been ascribed to me from away back.
On one occasion, however, must
plead guilty to the charge of having
made the attempt to deceive, and 1t
was no fault of mine that | failed to
turn the trick. 1t was shortly after

was the offer to me to play with the
Clinton team, with bait of $50 at
ltached to the tail of it, l was only a
boy, and the money looked as big as
"a mountain to me. Besides, had no
special affection for the Des Moines
outfit, bearing in mind the tough
treatment we had been given when we
recovered the trophy. Without taking
time to consider l agreed to 60 into
the game.
1t soon occurred to me that it would
never do to play ball with the Clin-
tons as A. c. Anson, member of the
Forest Citys. 1t would be easy enough
to pick up name for the occasion.
but my red poll and long legs were
too familiar in state baseball to pass
unnoticed 1t would be necessary for
me to disguise myself. Right there I
was up against problem that kept
me awake nights.
One thing was clear-whatever
did in the way of disguise would have
to be pulled off between the time l
left home and train time. Finally
hit on a scheme that looked SO good
to me that l resolved to try 1t. l

The first games l played with the
Athletics were with the Baltimores,
and l remember that our fielders
didn't have picnic by any means.
The way those Maryland boys stood
up to the racket made an impression
on me that have never forgotten. At
the close of the first game the score
stood "a to 19 in our favor; and if

MOTION ID ARREST
 HOUPT JUDGMENT
COUNSEL FOR OPPOSED SHERIFF ARGUE TECHNICAL POINTS
 IN THE INDICTMENT.
Ask That Judgment be Arrested and That New Trial be Granted to
 the Petitioners,

A motion to arrest judgment in the case wherein former Sheriff Sid Houpt was convicted of escape and removed from office, and to grant him new trial was argued yester- day morning in circuit court. The court did not have opportunity to list. en to all the argument counsel for Mr. Houpt had to present, so the case was postponed until some more con venient time this week when it will be continued and concluded, and final answer made by the court.
 There are number of points inter posed by counsel for MT. houpt in al- legations that the indictment under which Sid Houpt was tried and found guilty was not properly drawn.
 Some of these are that:
 That the indictment does not show that the commitment under which Ben Murray was held by the defendant was a lawful commitment.
 That the indictment does not show that the jurors of the inquisition over the body of Oscar Chitwood were qualified to serve.
 That the indictment does not show that the jurors at the inquest were shown
 That the indictment does not show that twelve men of the jury of in quisition agreed to the verdict
 That the indictment does not show that the crime of murder for which Ben Murray was held was committed in Garland county.
 That the indictment does not show that Oscar Chitwood was killed in the state of Arkansas.
 That the iudbment against Sid that the inquest over the body of os- car Chitwood was held in Garland county.
 That the judgment again at Sid t1oupt did not authorize his removal from the office of sheriff.
