Bordering on an upset was Pennsylvania’s great stand against Gilmore Dobie’s Cornell eleven. Fourteen to seven proved the final count of lhisl contest, which left Cornell with its smallest score of the season and re- sulted_in the narrowest victory registered over Penn by the Ithacans| ; g since Dobie became coach of the latter team. ‘The one eastern game that fulfilled general predictions was that at the Polo Grounds, where Dartmouth tri- umphed, 31 to 6, over Columbia.

One of the most im- portant battles was waged between the Anacostia Eagles and the Apaches, the latter winning, 13 to 0, to retain the 150-pound championship they won last vear. The Eagles put up a plucky fight, but better teamwork of their opponents proved too much of a handicap. White, Smithson and Durity sprinted for several gains that put the game on ice for the Apaches. Elevens of the Stanton Juniors and the Mackin Athletic Club staged their ennual battle, and the former team emerged victorious in a 19-to-6 score. *Mackins drew first blood in the open- ing period, but thereafter the Stan- tons came to life. Homan, Mitchell, Colilere and Sweney of the Stantons and urtain, Workman, Jones and Luckdtt of the Mackins performed creditably.

Boston had won the pennant so many successive times that the public was losing interest in the outcome; it was a foregone con- clusion. In Chicago they thought that such things should come to an end. There was no reason why the pennant shouldn’t fly west- ward. Mr. Hulbert was not a player; he was merely an inter- ested lover of the game and an arden Chicagoan. He met Spald- ing in 1875 and said frankly that as an lllinoisan Spalding had no business playing in the Hub city. Certainly wet get from Spald- ing's own account that he was becoming dissatisfied with the way the game was being run. He welcomed the aggressiveness shown by Hulbert, thinking that it might mean a healthy shake- up. There was a rule in the Na- tional Association of Base Ball Players that no new contract with a new club could be signed during a season in full blast. But Spalding, with others, prom- ised to follow Hulbert to Chicago, provided he would accept the presidency of the Chicago Base all Club. “Spalding has sold Boston,” was the cry. But never did Spalding play better ball than he did after every one knew it was his last season in the Hub city. He himself writes, in his entertaining reminiscences: “We rather overdid the thing, for the Boston nine never lost a game during 1875 on the home grounds, and closed the season with a rec- ord of seventy-one games won and eight lost, or a percentage of .8991" Hulbert went back to Chicago. He had signed up Barnes, Mc- Vey, White and Spalding of Bos- ton, Anson and Sutton of Phila- delphia. No six men ever had more anathemas hurled at them than these. But they did it, so they thought, to save the game. Reports spread that these bril- liant players would be expelled at the n meeting of the associa- tion. No matter what happens,” said Hulbert, “Chicago will make your salaries safe”” Then he thought to himself in this wise: “The base ball players’ associa- tion does not seem able to check the* evils which threaten to swamp the game.
