pitcher. Baldwin. along with
Shaw and Ed Morris, made the
portside fingers very popular dur

phenomenal southpaw. But such
men as these didn't grow on every
bush; so the half-dozen or 30 sue
cessful left-handers that held
sway, in those days. made them
selves famous.
Baldwin was an exceptionally
valuable pitcher for his team,
with his fine control, combined
with q terrific pace and puzzling
curve. IL was generally conceded
that the game was won when he
stepped into the box.
He was born in Orval. n. T., in
1859, and made his first appear
