w ITH the retirement of Bill
Wv Dahien from the managership
OF the Brooklyn team big
league baseball loses one Of its most
famous veterans, and one who was
contemporary with the most noted
players Of the last generation.
Dahlen was brought out in 1891 by
Captain Arson, who secured him from
the Coblesltill (New York; Club, OF
the New York State League, in the
fall of 1890, and put him on the
regular lineup Of the Chicago White
Stockings the next spring
Bill did not require another years
seasoning with any minor league club
when he Joined the White Stockings
he was ripe for the big league when
Arson secured him and he made good
with a rush from the start and filed
into the shortstop position made va
cant by the death OF big Ed" Will
hanson. as IL he, too. was a veteran
instead OF a youngster who had never
seen q National League game in his
life.
remember OF seeing Dahlen play
ing second base for the CoblesSiil
Club in 1890. and he impressed me
so much as conner" that I tried
to induce Jim Mutrie, then manager
of the Giants, TO grab him, but Jim
and the Giants were then deeply tan
gled up with the Brotherhood and
Players League war and had Jack
GlasScock as their shortstop-and
that. together with lack of funds, pre-
vented Jim from engaging the young

Bill Became a Josher.
Arson was tipped Off to the pros
pective value Of the upstate youth
and never regretted getting his name
to a contract. except possibly when
Bill. as soon as he outgrew the hay
seed stage, developed his kidding pro-
pensities that have since made him
one of the foremost characters Of the
diamond.
Arson was not much Of fielder in
those days-but how he could whale
the ball, First basemen in those days
were not expected to cover much
more ground than they could be
buried in, and Arson was no worse
than the restLbut he was particularly
weak on low thrown balls and didn't
like them.
It was. therefore. Billie delight, as

a hot time for all hands. once, dur

shin twice in succession. The old
Cap. sore IN mind and shin, chased
Bill around the Chicago West Side
Park on Harrison street with a base
ball bat for g full half hour, vowing
en-
to skin over the back fence TO escape
his irate manager.
Bill didn't show up that afternoon,
either-he went to the races instead,
accepting a fine rather than face the
angry Cap.

Dahlen was secured for the Giants
