International Baseball League.)
The International league is coming
back" this season. It's prospects have
not been so bright for long, long time.
The war is over, confidence is re-
stored and the baseball conditions are
normal again. OF course, the war
caused US some suffering but it won't
be long before our organization will
be back on the same high plane as
before the advent of the outlaws"
The 1916 makeup of the league will
be the same as in the old days-a
compact circle made up of the best
cities in the East. And so we all are
more than hopeful that brighter days
have come.
The return to Newark and Balti-
more is gratifying. /. am confident.
that before the. season is over the
fans in both cities will be completely
satisfied with the brand Of baseball
they will get. III
James Price and Fred Tenney, the
new owners of the Newark club, have
made themselves popular by announc.
ing that they will have no major
league connections. Another popular
move was the decision to play the
games in Newark instead Of in Har.
rison. Jack Dunn always gave Bal
timore baseball OF major league
caliber, and with no opposition there
this season he is bound to win the
fans back to che support Of his ORR
oles.
Richmond no doubt will make .

attendance this season. Billy"
Smith is a shrewd and capable mana.

Charles Ferguson Named as Best
AN-Round Ball Player.
Made Reputation With Philadelphia
Nationals During Late '80's az
Pitcher-covered Much Ter.
ritory Around Second.

The wonderful all-round work on the
diamond last season for the St. Louis
Browns by young collegian named
George Sisler recalls the name of the
great Charles Ferguson, who was
named as the best all.round ball player
the game ever had.
Ferguson made his reputation with
the Philadelphia Nationals during the
late sos as hurler and general utility
player, and he was cut of right in the
height of his playing ability and glory
in 1855.
Here is some history about the great
Ferguson and q few records he made
during his short but brilliant career:
Ferguson was secured from the Wiz.
ginia club Of Richmond, Va, in 1883,
and began his work for the Philadel.
phia Nationals in the spring of 1884.
That team was more or less Of joke,
but the magnificent work Of Ferguson
was q big factor in making it con.
tender for pennant honors in 1886 and
1887, and it was during those seasons
Ferguson made national fame.
Here Is his work for 1887: A per.
centage OF 1928 in games won, q field.
Ing record Of .947 in Is games at sec
ond and a batting average Of .414.
Ferguson could catch splendid
game. and before going to Philadelphia
he was known to 90 behind the bat
one day and pitch the day. following
In playing second he. could cover a
vast amount Of territory, was equally
sure on ground and fly balls and q
strong, quick thrower.
