DELIGHTFUL AGRICULTURE.

When YOU hear some young fellow
telling what a snap farmer has. just
investigate a little bit and the chances
are that you will find that about all
the agricultural work the young man
has done is to cultivate the acquaint-
ance of some farmers daughter. OF
course that's pleasant work.

there can be no robustness Of charac-

out of youth by rnaterialistic solicitude
Of parents. who think that true safe

a circumscribed social set. doing the
conventional things in the conventional

REDS WERE FIRST
"PRO" TEAM IN'69

The Cincinnati reds of 1859 were the
first professional baseball team in this
country. 1t was two years or more
later before the advantages of profess
sionalism dawned on the effete east
ern country. A. G. S~palding describes
how it happened, as follows:
CAS- pertinent to the question of pro-
f~essionalism, / recall very distinctly a
bit of controversy with Harry Wright,
when, in 1871, he came to Rockford to
secure the services OF Roscoe Barnes.
Fred Cone and myself for the Boston
club. The professional red stockings
of Cincinnati, the pioneer professional
club, had disbanded. That organiza-
ton, under Mr.. Wright's MANAGEMENT,
mad demonstrated that professionalism
not only stood for a marked improve
ment in playing, but that the dreaded
opposition on the part of the public
did not materialize, since the simple
announcement that the red stockings
were to appear had been sufficient al
ways to attract crowds.
But the experiment had not yet
been tried in an eastern city. Hence
when Wright came with his overtures
to Barnes, Cone and myself, it was to
join a club ostensibly amateur out
really professional: for all were to re-
ceive good salaries. I knew that the
manager of the Bostons felt exactly
as I did with regard to the subject,
but l could see that he was reluctant
to break over the custom in vogue in
New England and oppose the honest
prejudice existing in that section and
all over the east against professional
baseball.
However, + was inclined to be OBJ
stinate in my views of the matter.
had determined to enter baseball as a
profession. + was neither ashamed of
the game nor of my attachment to it.
Mr.. Wright was there offering us ade-
quate cash inducements to play on the
Boston team. We were willing to ac-
cept his offer. Why, then go before the
public under false p~retense of being
amateurs? The assumption of non
professionalism would not deceive
ANYBODY. 1t was not possible that any
could be found so simple as TO believe
that George and Harry Wright, Cal
Money and, the rest were in the game
merely for healthful or philanthropic
reasons. Then why engage in du-
plicity?
"We went over the whole subject
thrashed it out in all its bearings and
finally agreed to come out openly and
above board as a professional organiz-
alton. The result was even more gra-
tifying than we had hoped. Opposition
in the east faded rapidly away. Soon
after the organization in 1871 of the
National Association Of Professions
Baseball Players professionalism was
firmly rooted and established"

neither had he discussed such move
with anyone.
Colonel Miner was utterly at loss
to know what gave rise to such ru-
NOR, stating that there was no friction
anywhere and that everything was
working smoothly and harmoniously
That he was in perfect accord with
the board of directors, with the Of
ficers and faculty OF the college, and
with the corps of cadets from the
freshmen to the senior classes.
He stated further that the utmost
good feeling prevailed all along the
line, no friction existing between any
of the departments, and that no such
course as outlined by the Austin spe-
cial was contemplated now, or had
ever been contemplated in the past
The Eagle was indeed glad to Sc.
cure this statement from Colonel Mil
ner's own lips, fully believing that
such a move on his part would be a
calamity to the whole state, and di-
rect loss to this great institution that
would take many years to overcome.
In our opinion Colonel Miner is the
right man in the right place. He is
by nature richly endowed with all the
qualifications necessary for college
president-a man broad minded, of
liberal views, big of heart and soul,
and possessing that wonderful per-
sonal magnetism that draws all men
into close communion and fellowship
with him. His fatherly concern, his
personal and earnest interest in the
welfare of every young man that
comes to A. and NJ, give him an in
fuence over the student body that is
little short of wonderful. The slight
est wish of "Our President" is law
with the students Of old A. and NJ.
The results OF his labors are too
we'll known to need even a casual
mention. New buildings to meet the
growing demands of all the teaching
departments, enlarged laboratories
and equipment of every kind, new
dormitories sufficient to house the en-
tire student body doing away with
tent row." a greatly enlarged and
strengthened faculty, doubled en-
rollment, are a few of the evidences
that bespeak his great innate force
and executive ability.
The A. and NJ. College is destined
to rank with the leading educational
institutions of the country, and with
Colonel Miner at the helm it will pro-
ceed grandly, conquering and to con-
quer, until it meets every demand of
the great state Of Texas, and fulfills
the exalted mission hoped for and
that served as an inspiration for its
founders
