CAUGHT on THE FLY.
How A. G. Spaiding Broke Into
Basebaii-A One-Hand Catch.

There is not boy in America
nor has there been for thirty years
who has not heard of A. G. Spal-
ding. The younger generation never
heard of him as player and man.
of their elders only as a magnate,
but his reputation was already made
when he was a boy of seventeen. his
feat of beating the famous Nation
ais of Washington, D. c., while
pitching for the Forest City team
of Rockford H., composed OF local
ball talent, bringing him into ma
tionaI prominence at an age when
most boys are only trying for the
high school team nowadays. Mr.
Spalding has written book OF.
nearly 500 pages, called Americas
National Game" which gives his
tory of many occurrences thai shap-
ed the destiny of the national game
when it was not so firmly entrench-
en- in the hearts of the American
people as it is now. The desperate
measures which had to be taken in
those early days to rescue it from
the clutches Of those who would
have destroyed the sport as clean
pastime are relagated by Spalding
with the interest that only a partici
pant can lend to such narration.
Writing of his first active partici-
patton in the game, Mr. Spalding
saws in one of the chapters:
q was boarding at the home Of
relative at Rockford 1t was my
first prolonged absence from home,
and memories of the homesiekness
of that period haunt me like a
nightmare to this hour. The only
sclace I had, the only bright skies
for me In those dark days of utter
loneliness, were when / could go
cut to the commons to watch the
other fellows play base ball, And
then my diffidence was so great
that I would go way down the out
field. take q seat on the turf and
see others have fun. | think no mo- |

Appeals to All Prosrsssivss to Rally
Under Flag Of New Party Of the
People.

New York, July 1.-The first step
toward the organization in New York
state OF the new party launched in Chi
caso by supporters Of Theodore Roose-
welt was taken by City Controller Will
liam A. Prendergast. Mr.. Prendergast
was appointed to represent his state on
the committee formed in Chicago to
organize the new party. He laid the
cause before his people In an address
to voters. Provisional organization. he
says, will be effected without delay and
permanent organization will follow AZ
quickly as possible. In his statement
Mr. Prendergast says:
Il submit this appeal to men Of all
parties and men who have had no prev
ious political affiliations. In the name
Of the already great number who have
expressed their approval in defense OF
honesty In political work and the adj
vocacy Of genuine principles Of politt-
cal, social and industrial reform.
Not Sudden Judgment.
This new party will not be the re-
suit OF any sudden judgment passed
upon the high handed acts Of the re-
publican national committee and the
discreditable work Of the republican
national convention. The acts of that
convention have rendered 1t necessary
that new party shall be formed, but
the purpose the new movement Will
serve is one towards which the hearts
Of millions of men have been directed
in the past few years.
"A new party is a necessity because
SO many have come to realize the hope
lessness Of truly efficient and upright
Of the old parties, unless they could be
enectualiy divorced from the sinister
control Of those who believe that the
power to take is a fitting rule Of life.
There must be no mistaking the
gravity or immensely Of this task. but 1t
will appeal to those who believe In the
moral glory Of American democracy.
Let the men who have this faith under
take the labor That labor involves
the contest Of every place to be voted
for by the people at the coming election.
from president. congressman. senators
and assemblymen to the lowest office
upon the list. The principles we rep
resent are as necessary to the effective
betterment Of state and local affairs as
they are essential to the perpetuation
Of the national government
"A provisional organization for the
state Of New York will be effected
without delay. to be followed as quickly
as possible by a permanent organiza-
ton.
Enlist for War.
LET every man who has in him the
spirit Of the minute men Of Concord
and Lexington follow the example OF
a distinguished citizen who has already
signified his intention Of fighting for
this cause and in doing SO said. i
want to enlist not for the campaign,
but for. the war.
