This is a matter that should make ur-

Gen. Bancroft Tells How the Late

Frederick w. Thaycr Did 1t.
From the Boston Herald.
OF all the Harvard men and baseball
lovers the world over who mourned the
loss last week of Frederick Winthrop
Thayer of Cohasset, Harvard, rs, cap
tain of the famous varsity mines OF 1876,
1877 and 1878, and inventor of the catch
er's mask, none felt it more poignantly
than Gen. William A. Bancroft, president
of the Boston Elevated.
A chum and classmate Of Fred Thayer
in the days when he himself was known
as Foxy Bancroft, the news of his former
comrades death recalled many of the
details of their life at Harvard. He was
one of the first to learn OF Thayer's tnven-
ton of the mask-in fact, was one Of
those who was shown 1t before either
player of fan ever dreamed of such an
innovation.
'"The days when Thayer entered Har-
ward baseball differed somewhat from
the present. A pitcher nad to throw un-
derhanded and end his throw with arm
stretched out Then that changed and
as a consequence the ball was thrown
much more swiftly. Dr. Harold c. Ernst.
a professor in the medical school, was
pitcher on the varsity nine, and James
A Tying, the real estate dealer. was
catcher. They made a wonderful bat
terry.
"Thayer noticed that the more freedom
given the pitcher the greater became the
risk of the catcher. One day he let a
few into the secret. He was going to
make a mask. few days before the
Yale game of 1876 he came on the field
with il. Save for the fact II was made
more heavily, it was much similar 10 the
masks in use today.
"Thayer attached it to Jim Tyng's head.
and from that moment the mask entered
baseball At first the players, other than
those in the varsity, and the spectators,
were inclined to ridicule it, and it caused
no end of comment when it was worn by
Tying at the Yale game that year. Har-
ward won and two years later team after
team adopted the mask.
''As I recall Thayer in those days he
was the sort of a man that would have
caused a sensation now. He was about
five feet nine, weighed about $50. and at
first gave no idea of what he really could
do. His eyes were his charm. Bright
and alert as they looked out from beneath
a heavy shock of dark, curly hair, they
sensed every move in baseball game.
Fred played, directed and dominated the
nire. He said little, but what he said
meant much.
why, II Fred was a player today the
newspapers would take so much space to
tell of him that there would only be three
lines left to recount the troubles of the
New Haven. two lines for Gov. Foss, one
for the Mayor, and no room at all for the
elevated
In recalling the names of some who
played on the varsity nfne when Thayer
was captain, Gen. Bancroft mentioned
George A. Sawyer, conveyancer; Aaron
H. Latham, attorney: Herbert c. Leeds,
widely known athlete and yachtsman;
Robert winsor, banker; John Num-, wool
James Wright, in the steam
ship business in New York; John Lowell,
lawyer, who was manager of the nine.
and Clifford Tower, New York banker,
who died some time ago.
