Base ball history shows that the great plaver came from expected corners. Anson, for example, held the distinction of being the first white child born in the neighborhood of Marshall- town, 18wa, in 1832 The name of Wright goes down significantly in history of aeronautics. More significantly. in another family of Wrights goes down and glorifies the an- nals of early American sp Of English extraction, the \Vj family began in this country with a famous cricketer, his t —Harry and George—bringing to base ball that spirit of team play known to cricket. George's son, Beale C. Wright, was a champion tennis player It was through the methods adopted by Harry Wright, when he organized the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1868-70, that the crude game of base ball began to be revolutionized. He brought to it a more scientific meaning. because he insisted on the more articulate meaning of every posi- tion in the game—infield and out- field. It was a great temptation for the unprofessional player in early days to play for the benefit of his best girl looking on, and not for the ultimate victory of the club. It would have hurt a good batsman then tc sacrifice a hit for the good of a run. In other words, before Harry Wright, each player played for himself. Wright said to his men: “Don’t play for hits; play for scores.”” And this slogan was the reason for his invention—though he didn't know it at the time—of the sacrifice hit. It was Harry Wright, who, in 1867, faced boldly the rule that players were to receive “no pay.” He went to Cincinnati with the idea of organizing an all-profes- sional nine. He reached out not only for the best local talent, but o sons Wright gave his men the first distinctive uniforms. He signed up his brother—perhaps the best all-round player known to the game. In 1859, the Cincinnatis had uninterrupted victory in-their tour of ths country, the first castern tour cf a western club. And they made money, which ces Harry Wright as our first base ball magnate.
