The practice of using players to watch the gates extended a consider able period after Ezra had passed out of baseball, but is out of vogue now Of course a player of the present era who is temporarily incapacitated but still able to get out to the ball park might, as a favor to the club scene tary or other official, consent to watch the pass gate for @. few minutes at time while the official whose duty it is to be there is engaged with some other task, but such a thing is very rare. Can you imagine a present day. star having submitted to him a. con tract which specified that he must mix with his ball playing occasional filings as understudy on the gates particularly if he were one of he temperamental stars in which the game abounds or is supposed to abound?
 Reference to the washing of the uniform also would bring a smile to the face9 of the 1922 athlete. In these bright times each player has four uniforms-two for use when the team is at home and two for games on the road. These uniforms are laundered and repaired at the expense of the club. Furthermore, they are purchased by the club, whereas in Sutton's day each player had to buy his own.

BaH Playing Contracts -Of 40 Years AgO-

In no other phase of baseball. pro- gress1ve as the game has been as a whole, has greater progress been made than in the treatment accorded to the players The lot of the player, despite what a handful Of grousers among them have to say on the sub ject, is a far happier one than 1t was in the good old days so often referred to. A peek lat the contract signed by Ezra Sutton with the Boston club in 1887, now on view as part or the Spa1ding collection in the New York public library, gives one an 1nkl1ng of the betterment of the circumstances surrounding the playing Of baseball in the major leagues in the last thirty or forty years.
 This contract, which, by the way, stresses most heavily the point that Ezra must keep in condition and be subject to a variety of penalties if he fails to do so, contains in add1- ton three clauses which should be of interest to present day players. One of these is that he shall. when not required to play, be available for duty as a watcher on the gates. The second is that he shall wash or be responsible for the washing of his uniform at regular intervals. The third is that when the mine" is on the road fifty cents shall be deducted daily from his wages" to be applied to his board.
