Once more let me say that the Sc
cret of the clubs success in winning
the championship for these three sue
cessive years lay in its team work.
Added to this was the fact that long
practice in studying and perfecting
the fine points of the game gave us
an enormous advantage over our COM
peutors, who had not yet got onto the
value Of concerted action. realized
that there was a few weak spots in
our makeup, but the general fitness

The big baseball event of that year
was the adoption of the code known
then as tho triparte agreement, but
now termed the national agreement
A. q. Mills, the new president of the
league, was active in promoting it.,
and 1t was accepted by the league, the
American association and the North
western league. Among other things
1t provided that no contract with any
player should be made longer than
seven months, beginning April 1 and
ending October 81. At that time the
stealing of players was growing evil
and one that made heap Of trouble.

Take Tumble With the Boys.
If this were strictly personal &C
count of my life, with the history of
baseball in America left out, 1 might
dodge some of the disagreeable things
that now and then got sandwiched in
between the almost constant smooth
sailing that fell to my lot as manager
of the banner team of baseball artists
in America. One Of the things might
planning to you how it happened that
let Boston get away with the PEN
nant In 1883.
To be frank with you, 1t has always
been more or less of mystery to me.
The only change in our personnel was
the substitution of Fred Pfeffer for Joe
Quest at second base, and that should
have meant additional strength for
US. That 1t didn't turn out that way
was no fault of the new man, for he
proved himself to be crackerjack.
1t is possible that overconfldence may
have had something to do with our
slump, although we must have been
onto the fact that our opponents we're
after US hot and heavy. From the
start 1t was plain enough that the con-
test was going to be battle of the
giants and that Chicago, Boston, Prov.
idence and Cleveland were the only
ones In It, Excitement ran high all
over the country and the big newspa-
pers began to devote considerable
space to our daily doings on the diae
mond.
Until about that time baseball had
not figured very prominently in the
press. Recently on looking over the
files of big New York daily for the
year 1880 l was surprised to find SO
little mention of the game. There
was no account of any game played
outside New York and Brooklyn, and
| even those were given very little
space-not third as much as was ia,
ken up by pigeon shooting. In Oc-
tober of that year the Chicagos played
with the Metropolitans, and the report
| of the game does not cover more than
three inches. One of the statements
in 1t amused me whole lot. 1t was
to the effect that when the score stood
| to 0 in favor of my team we put on
our coats and quit, with the excuse
| that we had to catch train. don't
| recollect anything of the sort. But II

shall always look back on 1880 az
the red letter period Of my career. It
was the season, under my manage

with the pennant.
In my opinion, the members of that
team was one of the greatest punches
Of baseball players that ever cast their
shadows on the diamond. AS it hap

don't want to say a word that would
seem to imply that I undervalue the
ability of present-day players or over
estimate the cleverness of those who
have been and are no longer; but !
don't mind telling you that. in my
opinion, there have been mighty few
mines superior to that which held the
National championship from 1880 to
1883.
Unlike the majority of clubs in the
league at that time, the Chicagos did
not depend on the services of one hrst

and Goldsmith, both top-notchers,

field, there was nothing further to be

ing then, as / do still, that it was my
stronghold.
Strong at the bat? Well, rather.
In 1880 Gore led the league with an
average Of 1895, was second with
1888, Dalrymple was third with 1882
and Burns was fifth with 1903. In

DESERTED BY PALS.
Harry Barton, One Of the Picab0 Rob-
bers, Found Badly Wounded.

Deserted by his pals at night in a
lonely pass in the foothills around Pr
gari-mlles away from help-With the
side of his head blown off by shot
gun, probably during a row over the
division of the spoilS, Harry Barton,
said to be one of the gang who robbed
the postoffice and grocery store at
Picabo few nights ago and secured
nearly 81 900 in cash and stamps, is
lying at deaths door in the hospital at
Richfield, unable to tell the story OF
the robbery or of what happened TO
him in the hastily made camp of the
robbers in the desert the night that
the robbery occurred, according to in
formation received yesterday.
Side of Head Shot OH,
Recovering consciousness in the
morning, Barton made his way back to
the siding and down the railroad track
to Richfield, where he found the medi-
cal help that he needed, and was
placed under the care of trained
nurse In dressing the wound the doc
tor discovered that Barton had receiy-
ed nearly the whole charge of the gun
in his mouth, that his jawbone had
been torn away, his eye blown out and
his teeth knocked out-in fact, that
practically the entire right side of his
head had been cut away as clean as
though by a butcher knife.
Pals Rush to His Aid.
Dropping down to Richfield on their
way back down the line, probably to
Boise, Fred Murphy and Ed Burke,
thought to be two of the others impli-
Gated in the robbery, discovered their
former companion, and saw to it that
he had the best that the town could
afford in the way of medical treatment.
They provided trained nurse as his
constant attendant, paid the doctor.
hospital bills, and took other steps to
see to it that he had the best atten-
ton that could be secured for him.
In the eyes of the officers who
worked up the case, this was merely
to get the former pal into harmony
with them again and to prevent his
telling any of the things that they
knew he could tell If he decided to dc
so. Leaving orders that he should not
want for anything, Murphy and Burke
dropped on down the line toward
Boise, when they were captured at
Shoshone by Sheriff Tug and impris-
oned in the county jail. One OF them
was Immediately taken back to Hal
ley, where he will be held until the
