A. g. Spalding Tells How Fa-
nous Player Sanctioned Sale
Because of Increased Pay.

A. G. Spalding, who has written a
Americas National Came gives an
account of the sale of the immortal
King Kelly-the original $4,000
beauty"--by Chicago to the Boston club
in the late eighties.
1.-THE first time 1 had to do with the
selling of players was in 1887" writes
Mr.. Spalding. II had withdrawn from
active participation in the game as a
player, but was president of the Chi
cago White Stockings, at that time the
finest team of ball players in the world.
Although the traffic in ball players un-
der the national agreement had been
in vogue for some time / had never
looked with much favor upon 1t, rather
from sentiment than any other reason,
I suppose, for l knew that such
changes usually benefited club n
player alike. The newspapers had made
much ado about the arbitrary authority
given to managers along this line. 1t
a been quite generally denounced by
the press, and the public, influenced,
no doubt, by the changes rung on such
headlines as Slave Traffic. Another
Ball Player Sold ETC., had come to re-
gard the practise as awful.
1.-The facts leading to my personal
introduction to the system are as fol-
lows: The White Stockings were re-
peating in Chicago the history of Bos-
toms first professional club. The play
ers were so capable that they were ex-
pected to win every game. 1t did seem
almost impossible for them to lose.
Twice in succession they had captured
the championship pennant; the prowess
of the team was known throughout the
land, and praises of the individual per-
formances of Arson, Kelly, Flint, Will
hanson, Dalrymple, Gore, Clarkson,
Pfeffer, Mccormick and Sunday were
on ~everybody's lips.
Now, experience had shown that the
keeping of the same players together
for too long a time is ~prejudicial to the
interests of the game. l had learned
that lesson In my notice of the effect of
he four years of successive champion
ship victories gained by the Boston
team, n felt that the time had come
for a change in the personnel of the
Chicago nine. | was we'll aware that
patrons, while approaching good play
ers, do tire of seeing the same faces
year after year, and do enjoy the intro
duction of new blood into the team.
And so l decided to let some players go.
But what ones? That was not so easy
to decide.
IT deliberated on the matter for some
days and finally persuaded myself that
King Kelly was the man to sell. In ar
irving at this conclusion, 1 was not led

Bayley Lyceum to Open Season
Tonight-Turners TO
Play.
BY SURE SHOT.

The Crescents. of Paterson, naugu-
rated their 1911 season in this city last
night by trimming the Hudsons, Oh
New York, to the tune of 80 to To- IN
an exhibition contest at V 5
Colosseum. The Paterson combination
displayed much of it's old-time FORM,
but the Hudsons were a fast quintet,
and at times passed the ball around the
Passaic county bunch in fine style.
The contest last night was a pretty
exhibition of passing, as well as Gag
ing the ball. Several times during the
hattie the leather was heaved from the
centre of the court and dropped in the
net Clearly. Johnny McNab, the Cres-
cant forward, seemed to have this down
N nerfection. He made shots from all
over the court. Frank Hill, the crack
pivot man of the Paterson quintet, was
also in the limelight. He made shots
that were noticeable. Haring's Won
derful art of passing the leather gave
him honors, while Matty Love n
Harry Biggane kept the visitors from
further scoring by guarding cleverly.
Fuller put up the best game for the
Hudsons. He played with the crack
Roosevelt five last season. The first
period ended 90 to 6 in favor of the
Crescents. MI. Bertsch, who officiates
In the Bay View and National Turner
games, refereed and did good work.
Manager william Downey, of the
Crescent team, stated last night that
his team would surely represent Pat
erson in the Hudson River League, and
probably Newark in the Eastern
League. Although no definite arrange
ments have been made as yet for the
latter organization it is expected, ac-
oording to Mr.. Downey, that his team
will be admitted to the Eastern circuit
at the next meeting. The lineup of
last nights game:
Cr~escents. Hudsons.

The argument ran along until the
tenth inning. Brooklyn was at bat
and had a man on second base, with
Red Smith up.
Il will tell you what I will do" said
Sutton to the reporter. II have been
picking players for a number of years,
and you undoubtedly have been writing
baseball a few years, and here Is Red
Smith at the bat, with a man on Sec
ond. Now, l will stake all my years
of reputation against your opinion that
Smith will make good right here"
That's a CO." said the scribe.
Pitcher Maxwell wound up a little,
let a nice fast one go, Smith met 1t
squarely on the nose and sent it SAIL
ing over the left fielder's head, and
won the game.
You're all right, Larry; you win"
remarked the reporter, as he shook
the scout by the hand.

There are some baseball critics who
have ventured to anticipate the first
sample of Connie Mack's g~eneralship
in the worlds series. Inasmuch as the
first game is to be played in New York,
the obvious bunch is that Mathewson
will be picked to pitch.
Thus, reason the critics, Mack may
be expected to pass up his two main
stays, Coombs and Bender, and send
Southpaw Eddie Plank to the firing line
in the opening engagement.
Connie Knows of Matty's prowess. He
realizes that even If Bender or Coombs
is at his best that Matty will prove a
worthy rival. He also knows that Big
Six is not possessed of the same sturdy
physique which he owned six years
ago, when he shut out the Mackmen In
three games in the struggle for the
worlds baseball supremacy. Why not
then save Bender and Coombs until
after the first game-that is. save them
so that they can pitch every other day,
starting Monday, and work Plank in
the opening game?
Matty may be strong, very strong,
in that first game, after a rest of ten
days. But what about the subsequent
games? 1t is a certainty hat he can
not be as strong after two or one days
rest as would be the case in the third,
fifth and possibly the seventh game
after ten days of complete relaxation.
That Is where Coombs and Bender
would cut in on the peerless fadeaway
artist.
Patsy Kline has dropped Moe Smith
as manager, and hereafter will take
care of his own business. He has al
ready signed up to meet Joe Coster at

o'clock. Patsy has succeeded in land

of the preliminaries for Kurtz. Tom
