BASEBALL DAYS OF YoRE.
Harry Wright Suit Among Relics Re
Gently Sold at Auction

George Wright was exceedingly inter
ostcd to learn, the other day, that a
baseball suit worn bv his brother, Har-
ny, as "a member of the famous Red
Stockings baseball team back in the
go S, recently was sold by auction,
along with other baseball relics dating
back more than 80 years, says the Bos-
ton Transcript The collection, which
went at public sale, was the property
Of the late Harry Eilard, an official Of
the Cincinnati Red Stockings, and
some Of the articles even autedatcd the
famous Red Stockings. Trophy balls
shruukcn with age; scarlet caps, rose
wood trophy bats, old score books; the
rubber tooth protector worn by Doug.
Allison before the days when the catch
en- was protected by q mask, and many
other things, were included in the sale.
Garry Hermann, owner of the pres
ent Cincinnati team and member of the
National commission, had "a representa-
tive AT the sale TO bid in some of the
relies, feeling that those identified with
the Cincinnati Red Stockings, first pro
fossioual team of the country, should
become the property OF the Cincinnati
club of today. But William G.. Ken
nett, Jr., SON of the president Of the
Cincinnati team Of those days, was ON
hand with "a bank role that was too
much for the other bidders. and prac-
ticalv the entire collection went into
his keeping, proving that there is both
romance aud sentiment connected with
baseball
William Phclon, the Cincinnati base
ball writer, was Mr.. Herman s agent al
the sale, and although he did not get
any OF the relies, he did have an op
portunity to look over the old volume,
and get interesting material regarding
baseball in those old days. He foun,
that -four innings constituted a gam,
in 1850, or az least the scorcbools o.
that time were ruled for only four inn
ngs. He found that i'm game of Ma,
D 1856, between the Buckeyes and Mag
noliaS, the score, i'm a four-inning game
was li6 90 - i'm favor of the Buck
eyes. They scored - runs in the frs
inning, - in the second, Is in tn
third aud 81 in the fourth, as agaius
innings of @, I, 7 and ! runs for tn
Mugnolias.
Mention of Harry Wright's suit b,
ing among the articles offered at tn
sale, together with the mention that
was the best preserved OF all the suit
and fit TO be worn today, caused Geora
Wright 10 reminisce. He recalled tn;
it was the late Mr. Ellard, the man wi
collected these relics, who induced Ha
nv Wright to 90 TO Cincinnati but as
cricketer, rather than as baseba
player. Mr.. Ellard was an Englishmi

Second Choice Team Pulls Big Surprise
at Providence-Eastern Season
Practically Closed.

The eastern college football season
closed yesterday afternoon
with two surprise parties among the
games played. Colgate, considered a
slight second choice against Brown,
not only defeated the Providence team,
but ran up such large score that
there could be little doubt as to which
was the better team. The wet condi-
ton OF the field combined with Col
gate s advantage in weight in the
backheld was i'll part responsible for
the outcome, bat the victory was 50
decisive that there is considerable
doubt as to whether or not Brown
would have been able to stop the
Hamiltonians had the weather been
perfect. Another lesser surprise was
staged at Pittsburg when the mbeaten

FEW sTEIKEoUT FEATS.
No Ancient or Modern Record APP
preached in 1916.

The 1916 game produced few strike
out feats-games in which pitchers
struck out 4 large number of batsmen.
No ancient or modern strikcout record
was approached, and only one pitcher
struck out more than 10 men in a single
game. Guy Morton, the unfortunate
pitcher of the Cleveland Indians, struck
out IL members of the Athletics on
june y. This was quite an achieve
ment, despite the fact that the hapless
Mackmcn were the victims. Bad as
the Athletics were last season, they
took part i'll only three games i'll which
opposing pitchers struck out more than
seven of Mack S army.
There We're Is games in the Amer
lean league in which pitchers struck
out more than seven men, and only Il
such contests in the National league
When it is recalled that there are II
major league teams, each Of which
played through approximately 1j4
/ games, it seems almost remarkable thai
there were only 26 games in which T.:
pitcher registered more than sever
! strikeouts.

Baseballs are to cost from 10 to 30

Wright along about 1866 as regards GO
ing to Cincinnati to play cricket and
followed that up by going to New York
personally, to get the man who later be
came SO renowned as "a baseball player.
Harry Wright was prevailed upon to
90 and made cricket trip to Canada
with the Cincinnati group in 1867. The
following year baseball secured hold
in the cricket ranks and the game was
played in the rather limited enclosure
of the cricket club, but sufficient en-
thusiasm was engendered to lead, in
1859, to tine orgaization which was to
become so famous under the name of
the Cincinnati Red Stockings. In 1867
and lS6S there was an amateur team in
Cincinnati which wore red stockings
the first baseball team of which the
players wore short trousers.

New York, July 11.-Information
was received here today that General
Cipriano Castro, who for many years
was president and virtually dictator
of Venezuela is on his way from Bar
bados, West Indies, to New York on
the steamship Vauban. Before leaving
Bridgetown, Barbados, Castro said he
was going to the United States on a
pleasure trip. He has been in Trini-
dad for several months.
1t was reported that a gathering of
men formerly powerful in some of the
Latin-American countries would be
held here after Castro's arrival to
consider the situation in their respec-
tive countries. After stormy session
in Venezuela, Castro first came here
in 1913. He was detained at Ellis
Island and engaged an attorney to
enforce his claim to a right to enter
this country. After about six weeks,
the federal court ruled he was free
to go to any place in the United States
