CHAPTER X.
4 Sign With Chicago.

In the fall of 1876, just before the
National league came into existence,
received an offer to sign contract
with the Chicago club. Four years
earlier l would have jumped at the
chance, but now that had the prom
lise of Philadelphia girl to become
! Mrs. Adrian C. Anson as soon as
everything could be arranged salts
factorily. the Quaker burg seemed
good enough for me. So didn't even
nibble at the Windy City bait but
went right along with my self-appoint-
ed Job of getting the Athletics TO do
better team work.
The Chicago folks were in dead ear
nest, and my fondness fer Philadel-
4phia and portion OF its contents cut
no figure in their calculations. For
one thing, they had made up their
minds to organize championship
team before the opening of the sea-
son of 1876. They had got weary Of
seeing Boston walk off with the hon
ors and were lying awake nights to
invent some scheme to circumvent the
beaneaters, and were willing to part
with lot of rhino if 1t could be done.
As starter the Chicago manage
ment signed the big four who had
made 1t possible for the Boston club
to win the pennant SO many times in
succession-Cal McVey, first base;
James White, catcher; Ross Barnes,
second base, and Albert G. Spalding,
pitcher. 1t was coup that fairly took
the breath of the sporting fraternity
all over the country. Nothing SO en-
terprising in the way of baseball tao
tics had ever before beon pulled off
in America.
When Spalding landed in Chicago
about the first thing he did was to
propose to the Chicago management
to send for me. He told the Chicago
folks that the new organization was
laoking only in one point-that with
A. O. Anson to play third base they
might expect to doat the pennant
from their clubhouse. So it seemed
that tho good impression had made

lQuent records. rather think 1t had

Willingness to make change, Will

the nrst man 1 struck as entered the
grounds was Mr. Hulhert

S0o 0IbC uHu SLTuCh as entered L00
grounds was Mr.. Hubert.
Il thought you were on your way to
Philadelphia" he observed grimly
when his eyes fell on me and my ul-
ster.
Mr.. Hubert said no more and l soon
became SO interested in the practice
that | forgot all about him. Spalding
was sending them SO nattily that l
was seized with terrible itch to get
hold Of bat 1t seemed to me that
I'd just have to have a hand in the
business in spite of myself Finally
picked up bat and, stepping up to
the plate, called out to Spalding:
pitch couple to me, AL, just for
fun!"
Not until you get out of that big
ulster and take your place with the
other men of my team," said the cap
tain, stiff1y.
Isated to do 1t. l even threw down
the bat and pretended to be going
knew l was beaten, and 1t was like
pulling teeth to give in. However,
there didn't seem to be anything else
to do, 30 l threw off my overcoat,
picked up the bat, took my position at
the plate and shouted out:
All right. sonny! Now let her go!"
And | want to remark right here
that she did go-precisely where no
body knew at last accounts.

ship, We quit loser, and not single
club in the new league made cent.
That first year of the league was far
from being financial success. Some
Of the clubs got into serious trouble.
My old friends, the Athletics, and tho
New York Mutuals failed to play out
their scheduled games in the west
that year, and at the next annual
meeting OF the league-held In Cleve-
land the following December-they
were expelled. That left only six
clubs to enter the arena for champion
ship honors in 1877. The men who or.
ganized the league must have felt q
little shaky as to the outcome OF their
experiment, but there wasn't anything
that could chill the pedal extremities
OF ofyWilliam A. Hubert when once he
had undertaken to see thing
through. The organization OF tho
league had been hobby with him for
years, and he declared that the new
venture was going even better than
he had expected. l am glad that he
lived to see his scheme in successful
operation.
That fall signed again with the
White Stockings, as did spalding, Mo
Vey, Barnes, Peters, Andrus and Glenn
OF the old team. Jim White repented
OF his desertion of the Hub and went
back to his first love. Our newcomers
were Bradley, who had done some
wonderful pitching for the St. Louis
club that season, and H W. Smith, Q
promising catcher and outfielder
Then, after l had completed my
business arrangements for tho next
season, returned to Philadelphia and
put the finishing touch to the most I'M
portant and profitable transaction in
which have ever taken part. don't
mind telling you. though, that when
faced the dominic on that occasion
was more ratified than ever 1 have
been when, bat In hand, have stood
before the most puzzling twirler In
the league.
We went out to Marshalltown on
our wedding journey, putting up for q
few days at the Anson house, whose
proprietor was tickled to death to see
US. 1t was our first meeting since
had become full-fedged professional
ball player, and the old gentleman had
entirely recovered from his attack OF
spleen due to my refusal to become .
scholar. AS for his new daughter-in.
law-well. l don't mind telling you
that she made big hit right at the
start.
