There can never again be ball club
ike the Cincinnati Reds OF 1869. That
much is an absolute certsinty-no ball
club can ever again be put in action
that will go through a whole season
without defeat. or even approach the
record Of the Reds, playing a shorter
schedule against all the best clubs Of
the time. During 1869 and up to their
first defeat in 1870. the Reds went
ninety-two games without loser. One
contest. with the Haymakers Of Troy,
was called off with the score IL TO II.
but the Haymakers quit the field. and
the verdict went to the Reds. Imagine
any team of today going ninety-two
games without defeat-it couldn't be
done, even IL setups and pushovers
were selected for the big leaguers TO
battle.
III say this: the Pirates. Giants,
Senators or Athletics couldn't 20
ninety games unbeaten, even If they
transferred their activities to the
South Atlantic league. Some little
team would whack them on the COCO
long before they had gone fifty times
TO battle. It's easy TO say that the
game, in 1859, was in its infancy, and
that there were no really classy ball
clubs to give the old Reds opposition.
but that outfit must have had world
of intrinsic strength and merit to have
gone such a pace without a tumble.
ALL WERE STARS.
The best possible proof that the old
Reds were a high class ball club was
that, after the Invincibles disbanded.
most Of them sought employment with
professional clubs. which sprang up
numerously in 1871, and all Of these
former Reds were topnotchers while
they continued in the game. They
were the real article. and wherever
they went they lowered above their
colleagues like a redheaded Irishmsn
at a Chinese picnic. They had the
goods; they were the goods, and they
earned their place in the hail Of base
ball fame on their matchless ability.
According 70 the old books, there
were only ten Of the Reds-Asa Brain
ard, pitcher, Douglas Allison, catcher;
Charlie Gould. first; Charlie Sweazy,
second; Fred Waterman, third George
Wright, shortstop; Harry Wright, cen
terfield and captain; Cal McVey. right
field; Andy Leonard, left field, and
Dick Hurley, substitute. Ten in all
but when the Reds OF 1919 had their
great banquet and tried 10 assemble
the old clubs survivors, there were
more Survivors" than you could put
in email thester. Undoubtedly there
were times when a couple Of the stars
were Ill or hurt, and some local stb-
lete would be pressed into service for
a day or twO-and all Of these one
time subs, with pride and eagerness,
sought attention at the big reunion.
The ten originals. however. are the
ones whose names will go down in his
tory-snd the ten men drew salaries
totaling $4,000. George Wright drew
s14O0, Harry Wright took down 1920.
Brainard GOT S1100, Waterman $1,000
and Allison, Gould. Sweazy. Leonard
and MeVey, were paid $500 apiece.
Dick Hurley getting only $500. Small
money yes-but when you think Of the
difference in buying power Of dollar
then and now, The boys were nicely
paid.

WICHITA, Kan, April 10.-Strib-
ling and Burns.
This is the main topic of conVersa-
ton on the streets of Wichita as these
two young maulers, ". l.. Young"
Stribling and "Chuck" Burns, put the
finishing touches to their training in
preparation for their 10-round bout at
the Forum Monday night.
Interest in MOunday nights affair
took jump with the arrival of Strib-
ling Saturday. He is accompanied by
his wife and Ma" and PA Stribling.
Burns has been on the battle site
for several days, training hard under
the direction Of his manager. Don c.
ley. The San Antonio Seeker fairly
radiatcs confidence. and there are hun.
drCds Of fans in the city who believe he
will give the Georgia SchOolboy" 10
tOrrid rounds.
Burns. a tight-lipped youngster, is
making no real predictions on his
chances against the pGnthcrish young
man from Georgia, but there is no
doubt that he and his manager, Cur
ley, believe Stribling is due for the
surprise of his life. 1t would not
startle Manager Curley if his boy de-
posits Stribling on the canvas.
Burns, as he has demonstrated on
two separate occasions in a Wichita
ring, carries a real knockout punch in
his right hand. He knocked out Billy
Freas in eight rounds. and had George
Manley on the floor in the second
round for a nine count. Manley kept
away from him thereafter
The San Antonio boy demonstrated
that he could take everything Mauley
had to offer. and critics regard Man
ley ms probably a harder hitter than
Stribling.
Through four years of fighting
against the best middleweightS in the
Southwest, Burns has never yet been
on speaking terms with arena canvas,
No scrapper has yet hit Burns hard
enough to knock him off his props. and
there is plenty of money being wasered
that Stribling will fail to turn the
trick
