have not felt that way in years.
So I Just stood there and watched
around the Polo Grounds.
On they came in barouches, Ian
daus, buggies drawn by lone horses
and by pairs. Cops marched ahead
arrayed in those queer old helmets
and long-belted coats of a gaslit
era. There were ladies in dresses
so gay that even now it seems sad
their fate has been some lonesome
corner in costumer's shop. There
was a band that might well have
played under waving torches, while
Manhattan whooped it up for Til
den and Democracy. There was
wonder of all wonders on this very
baseball field where luck has be-
haved so well of late-a carriage
drawn by two white horses.
In the boxes near the dugout sat
baseball's veterans, hands gnarled
by many a foul tip or hard-sped
grounder, cIasped tightly in their
laps. Some of them still are in their
prime as life is reckOned in most
businesses. Others were taking a
belated grateful glimpse of a pa
rade that long since has passed
them by. The faces of all of them
some deep wrinkled, some full
Aeshed-had that Ieathery look
which never fades from those who
have spent many busy hours squirt
ing into a hot sun.
Memories of yellowed newspaper
clippings came back as I watched
them. There was Jim Mutrie, a
shrunken little man with bristling
white moustache. Jim, they say,
is ninety-two and so he does not see
much baseball now. Indeed they
also tell that the last time he came
over from Staten Island he was so
puzzled by unfamiliar scenes that
he was lost before leaving the Bat
terry and so never reached the Polo
Grounds at all. But it was Jim,
whose eyes still flash as in bettet
days, who managed New York's
first pennant winner in 1888.
