CHICAGO, March 28.-William
Harridge, president Of the American
League, gazed into the immediate
future through rose colored glasses
today, and expressed the belief that
prosperity has at last been cap
turned and will be on view at junior
circuit ball park this season.
An undercurrent of conversation
to the effect that baseball has seen
its best days and now is on the
down grade is smiled away by Prexy
Harridge's benign optimism and
firm belief that the American
League turnstiles will click a
sprightly tune during the approach
ing campaign.
Why?
We'll" said Will Harridge,
we're going to have a balanced race
during 1888. New York's Yankees
might repeat, but they won't be
able to make such a runaway race
of it and customers will still turn
out in large numbers to patronize
a winning club, or a club that can
be counted on to furnish thrills"
Why do you figure the Yankees
won't go galloping way down in
front, Will?
"McCarthys club picked up lot
of games from the cripples last
year, the Tigers, White Sox and
Browns. They don't look like easy
picking now. Connie Mack writes

runner so that the play would be
close. That always burned up Hank
He'd get me aside and say:
why do you always want to make
those plays so cloSe?"
Then I'd tell him:
Hank you are the best umpire
I ever saw. You can call 'em right
when they're close as a hair"
We had a second baseman with
the Pirates at one time by the name
of Miller. He spoke German and
so did I. Frequently We would talk
in German at second base, deciding
which one was to take the throw in
case the runner on first attempted
to steal, etc.
One day Hank asked George Glib
son, who was catching for us, what
we were talking about.
Why, they're talking about YOU"
Gibby told Hank. They're discuss
ing thta rotten decision you made
last inning"
Of course, we weren't, but Hank
fell for Gibby's chatter. He warned
me that if didn't quit talking in
German, he'd throw me out of the
game.
