"POP" ANSoN, ONCE PREMIER
BALL PLAYER, DIES IN CHICAGO
EARLY star OF SPORT IN 7O'S

the National League six years and
was second or third many other sea-
sons. In the field his record was
equally brilliant. For six years he
was accorded first place among the
first bascmcn, his fielding average
ranging from .9SS to ga.
Arson was described during the
hoyday of his baseball career as the
most perfect player of the age. over
six feet in height, and weighing 1875
pounds in condition, he was a light
ming fast fielder and base runner, and
hatted with tremendous power As
q manager he was a strict disciple
marian, demanding absolute obcd-
icnce and temperate habits in his
players.
Arson made two trips abroad as
an American baseball player. In
1874 he was member Of the Amcri-
can team which toured England,
playing both baseball and cricket.
The team knew little or nothing of
cricket. but their terrific batting Off
set their other playing defects and
they won every cricket game played,
including a victory over tho famous
Marylcbono All-English eleven by
the score Of 1o7 to 1O5 runs. In
1855 he toured the world with the
National League players party,
which included John i. Tonor. now
president of tho National League: 4.
G. Spalding. .J>hn M. Ward. Ed Han
lon and many other noted players of
tho day.
After Anson's retirement from
baseball he opened q billiard han in
Chicago and later entered tho noIiti-
cal field. He was elected city clerk
for ono term but failed Of re- election.
In 1909-1o he managed n somi-pro-
fossi0nal team and. toured tho coun-
try, but all these ventures were fin
ancial failures. He was more sue
ccssful in n vaudeville monologuc act
| in which he appeared in later years.
