s o FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1919 THE BEMIDJI DALY PIONEER PAGE NINE REDS WIN FIRST MAJORLEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP INFIFTY YEARS Only Two of the Old Timers Live Through the Years to See Victory CINCINNATI FIRST TO PAY PLAYERS SALARIES Baseball’s Best Brains Hired to Turn Out Champion- ship Calibre (By United Press.) Only two of the 1869 Reds, who went through a season without a de- feat and gave Cincinnati her first baseball championship, have lived through the fifty years to see the Ohio.city repeat. They are George Wright, eporting goods dealer of Boston and Carl McVey, of San Fran- cisco. Wright is reputed to be a millien- aire while McVey is penniless on the coast, Where several benefit games have been staged to keep him in funds. The first champions, who have been- the lone consolation of Cincin- nati fans up to this year, were com- posed of Harry Wright, captain and centerfield; George Wright, short- stop; Charles H. Gould, first base; Charles Sweasy, second base; Kred Waterman, thirdu base; Douglas Alli- gon, catcher; Andrew J. neonard, left field@; Cal McVey, right field; Asa Brainard, pitcher, and Richard Hur- ley, substitute First Salaried Team. Cincinnati, the first city to organ- ize a team of salaried ball players, is really the home of professional baseball. The defeatless' champions of 1869 wore crimson hose and were nicknamed the ‘‘Reds”—both of which have passed down as tradition: through fifty years to Pat Moran and his winning crew. . ‘Between 15870 and 1876 interest in the game lagged and the professional sport was discontinued. In 1876 the city entered a team in the National League and became a charter mem- ber of the organization. Tae first president:of the club was J. L. “Cy"” Keck, who was algso manager of the club. The first season the Reds won nine games and lost fifty-six for a percentage of 138, which stood as the lowest mark in the National League until 1899, when Cleveland won twenty games and lost 134 for a percentage of 130. In 1877 only two of the old *'sixty- niners” were left—Charles Gould and Charles Sweasy. Among the new- comers were Bobby Matthews, pitch- er, N. W. Hicks, catcher; Ed. Cuth- bert, Lipman Pike and Boh Addy. In 1878 the team changed hands and was taken over by J. W. M. Neff. In 1880 the team was expelled from the league for allowing liquor to be sold on the grounds. In 1890 the club was returned to the league under the management of Tom Loftus. In 1891 the club was taken over by John T. Brush. In 1903 Brush disposed of his holdings to George B. Cox, Julius and Max Fleischman and August Herrmann. The latter was made president and has acted in that capa- city ever since. The Fleischman interests in the club changed hands last year and were taken'over by eastern capital. Teams Would Flash. Time after time during the fifty years interim in championships, Cin- cinnati teams would flash sensational early season form, mount to the top of the ladder or thereabouts only to have pennant hopes wilt and fade away under the heat of a mid-season battle. In those fifty years they have finished on every rung of the league ladders. Manager after manager, including some of the best baseball brains of the country, tried their hands in giv- ing Cincinnati 2 pennant winner but, previous to this year, they failed. And they all sang the same song, tGo much interference from the club owners, too many managers on the board of directors. In this connec- tion it may be said that Pat Moran, when he was offered the steering wheel of the club, accepted with a provision that he should be the “bell cow” on all matters. He has had a free rein in the management of the team ad he developed a winner. Enough good players were devel- oped during the long lapse of years between championships to land sev- eral rags if they had been kept to- gether. Charges of commercialism were frequently hurled at the club owners when a star player was sold and went out and helped another club to the pennant. Managerial List. It may be interesting to scan the list of managers who have tried their luck with the Reds since 1876. They are: “Cy” Keck 1876 and 1877; J. M. Neff, 1878 and 1879; O. P. Cay- lor, 1880; Tom Loftus, 1890 to 1891; Charles Comiskey, 1892 to 1894; William Ewing, 1895 to 1900; Rob- ert Allen, 1900; John (Bid) McPhee, 1901 and 1902; Joseph Kelly, 1902 to 1906; Edward Hanlon, 1906 and 1907; John Ganzel, 1908; Clarke Griffith, 1909 to 1911; Hank O’vDay 1912; Joe Tinker, 1913; Charles Her- zog, 1914 to 1916; Christy imathew- son, 1917 and 1918. And then came Pat Moran who was released from a contract with the Giants as pitching coach and sent by . McGraw as another victim of the Ohio Jinx. But Moran proved him- self a jinx chaser, built up a first class club and took the pennant away from his benefactor. Canada’s Bird Refuge. It is something for one bird to tell another that Canada has created a series of reserves in the province of Quebec where birds are safe from man- mwade troubles. Unlike most bird refuges, Perce Rock, a picturesque island neur Perce village; the east and north cliffs of Bonaventure island, three miles further away; and the northernmost of the Magdalen islands, 124 miles out to sea, have been set apart specifically to pro- tect birds whose value to mankind is chiefly their beauty as a part of na- ture. There is no attempt to argue, for -example, that the gannet, the Kitti- wake, or the razorbill auk should be protected because they “belp the fdrmer” ; they are protected simply be- cause they are birds. No human being may steal an egg from their pests; no weapon danger- ous to their welfare may be brought within a mile of their island sanctu- arfes. Naturally all other birds are equally safe, and the refuges will be a help toward carrying out the purpose of the international treaty for bird pro- tection. Yellowstone Park Grows. Yellowstone pational park I3 ex- pected to grow 1265 square miles larger as soon as the present congress reaches a bill neglected by the last session.” The proposed extension, 30 miles to the south of the established boundary, as described in Popular Mechanics magazine, takes in Jackson lake and the wonderful mountain scenery about it, part of the famous Jackson’s Hole country. Besides providing /the only variety of scenic beauty now lacking in the park, the addition includes the sum- mer grazing ground of America's last large” herd of elk, and some of the finest trout-fishing water In the c¢ountry. Lace Is Triumphant. The lace dress is having a triumphal time at present. Gowns of chantlilly, Vermicalli, white Allencon, and black and yellow Spanish lace were among those which recently scored highest in @ fashion show.
