LOCAL MEN WERE
 IN BASEBALL WAR Jim O'Rourke Left Players League In '89-Denny Joined Giants

While the weakening of many base ball teams due to the necessities of the present war will upset the pho- phets, yet it is questionable if any major league organization will be so thoroughly disintegrated as was the New York pennant winning nine of the National League of 1S8S-S9, due to the Brotherhood war of 1890, says C. F. tMathison in yesterdays New York Sun
 The Giants had won the pennants of 1888 and 1889 in decisive manner and the team was unquestionably the strongest baseball machine of that period.
 The pitching staff was particularly | effective with Tim Keefe, Mickey | Welch and Ed Crane at their best, and the work behind the bat was Enne by the redoubtable Buck Ewing, who never had a superior as back stop in all around work---catching, hitting, base running, throwing and generalship.
 | Keefe at that time was the main stay of the staff, as he had speed. control and coolness, and Welch, with l second.
 Crane had terrific speed but lacked control, but Ewing handled him with the same ease and success that he did the experienced Keefe and We1ch.
 At first base was the gigantic Roger Connor, one of the heaviest hitters of the time, who is now living in Wa terbury, Conn, while at second was Danny Richardson, an excellent heady infelder and a fair batsman. | John Montgomery Ward, the failure of whose pitching arm compelled him to take an infield position, covered short field and greatly aided the Giants with his brainy work. Arthur Whitney was the third baseman.
 The outield was composed of Jim O'Rourke, now retired and enjoying life in Bridgeport; George Gore, wEc previously had gained fame with An sons Colts, and Mike Tiernan, a crack infielder and an excellent bat ter.
 This combination was altogetheT too strong for the other teams in the National League, and won the cham pionships of those two years without uIuISully.
 These were happy days for Presi- dent John B. Day and Manager Jim Mutrie of We are the People, fame.
 But the clouds of revolt were gath ering and while MT. Day was unable to convince himself that his cham pions would desert to the banner of the Players League, that is exactly what they did and about the only thing left was the penrant banner and the base bags.
 Two of the players, Mickey Welch and Mike Tiernan, remained loyal to the Giants, and with this pair as 8 nucleus Day and Mutrie set about getting a team to represent New York in the National League for the season of 1S9O Not only had the Players League grabbed. all the/men of Days club but they had acquired lease o1 field adjoining the grounds on which the Nationals played.

FISTIC HISTORY

Five years ago today Tom Gibbons outpointed Tommy Bergen in ten rounds at New York This was the start of the metropolitan ring career of the younger brother of the famous Mike. Tom was introduced to the New York fight fans by Michael with the statement that he possessed more latent ability than he himself did at the same stage of his career. Tom did his best to live up to that praise and succeeded fairly well. Tommy is a native of St. Paul and is only a lit tie more than a year the junior of the Phantom. He is feet g 1-2 inches in height, being 2 fraction (. an inch taller than Mike. He had the bene1it of his brothers handling and advice, and from the day of his first appear ance in the ring was a good boxer.

ADOPT SCHEDULE AT SPRINGFIELD
Practically Ready For Alp proval of Club Owners
 Meeting Soon.

The final draft of the Eastern League schedule for the coming sea- son was completed yesterday after noon at meeting of the schedule committee held at the Cooley hotel. Springfield. It is now practically ready for examination by the club owners of the league and a meeting will probably be called within the next 10 days. Chairman M. J. Me Mahon was prepared yesterday to mo- tify President Dan OHNeil of his read mess to report and the league leader 1 is expected to call the owners to. gether as soon as he can do so. Pres ident O'Neil is just recovering from a serious illness.
 The third member of the committee, James T. Collins of New Haven, was unable to be present but as he had already notified his fellow members Chairman MoMahon and William E. Carey of Springfield, that he has sold i his club. Copies will be sent to the club owners this week so that they may be given an opportunity to study out their bookings before they get to- gether for discussion and adoption of the document.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-22

But there was a rift in the clouds and the management had the oppor- tunity presented of purchasing the entire Indianapolis club, which with drew from the National League after a raid by the Players League agents.
 In this deal the Giants secured the gerat Amos Rusie, who was a power in the pitching department for years, and among the 6elders were "Pebbly Jack Glasscock, Jerry Denny, once a sensational third sacker for the Prov idence Grays in Radbourne's time, now residing in Bridgeport; Charley Bassett, an infielder, and Jesse Bur kett, an out6elder, who is now man. aging a club in New England. With these players and some recruits New York managed to make a good show ing in the race and finished sixth.
 Therefore it would seem that many of the teams of the present that have been riddled by the draft are war ranted in taking a hopeful view of the future.
