SUCCUMBS T0 SHOK A. G. Spalding Died in California —Had Interesting Career San Diego, Cal, Sept. 10.—Funeral services will be held tomorrow for Albert Goodwill Spalding, one of the rioneers of baseball, from the family home at Point Loma, where he died suddenly last night. The ceremony is to be private and will be followed by cremation. For the last ten days Mr. Spalding apparently had been rallying from Wwhat was supposed to have been a clight paralytic stroke, and yesterday he seemed in good spirits. At 9:30 p. m., however, he complained of a severe pain in his head. Mrs. Spald- ing was summoned but before her arrival he had lapsed into uncon- sciousness from which he did not emerge. Leaves Three Sons. Besides his widow, Mr. Spalding is survived by three sons, Albert Good- will Spalding, Jr., Keith Spalding and Keith Spalding resides in Chicago; Churchill and Albert Spalding are in Llurope. His only brother, J. Walter Spalding of New York, is vice presi- dent of the sporting goods house of A. G. Spalding & Brothers. His sister, Mrs. W. T. Brown, and his mother reside in East Orange, N. J. For many years Mr. Spalding was 2 prominent member of the Universal brotherhood and Theosophical society. Since making his home in California Mr. Spalding had been identified closely with the good roads movement. Queer Senatorial Defeat. In the first primary election in 1910, Mr. Spalding entered the race against John D. Works of Los An- geles. Although he had only thirty days for his campaign he carried California for United States senator in seventy-five legislative districts of the state, as against forty-five' for all other candidates. Despite this, the state legislature declared that Works had been chosen and Spalding was defeated. From $5 a Week to Baseball, Chicago, Sept. 10.—A. G. Spalding gave up a $5 a week job in a grocery to become identified with baseball and was perhaps better known as the “Father of Baseball.” He became famous as a pitcher, one of the first to use the underhand delivery, and later became the manager of clubs. Not only. during his career on the diamond but as an interested follower of the game~ years afterward Mr. Spalding always used his influence to place the game on a high plane. With his parents he moved from Byron, Ill, his birthplace, to Rock- ford, in 1863, where he attended a commercial college. But he soon learned he could make money playing ball and joined the Forest City club of Rockford, which made a reputation when it defeated the National club of BISEBALL PIONEER | Durand Churchill, a son by adoption. } Washington in 1867. ‘Won: Pennant. Four years later Mr. Spalding joined the famous Boston Red Stock- ings and pitched the club to pennant victory in the races of the National Professional Association in 1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875. His longest connec- tién with active baseball playing was with the Chicago club, which he jeined in 1876. He was successively its manager, Secretary and president until 1881. For years he had cherished the idea that the sport might be popularized in England and in the winter of 1874, after the tour of the famous Baltimore Orioles, he went to Europe. Everywhere he was received enthusiastically. In 1888 and 1889 he managed the first world tour ‘of the Chicago and All-American baseball teams. Started in New Haven, In 1875 Mr. Spalding became inter- ested in the manufacture of sporting goods and started a small shop in New Haven, Conn., with a capital of only $800. A year later, when the business grew, it moved to Chicago. It formed the nucleus around which the present house of A. G. Spalding and Brothers was built, For the last fifteen years Mr. Spalding has published a “Guide,” which is recognized as an authority on baseball and other athletic sports. MILITARY SUCCESS R | " " S Purescracy Wos Responsible for Insufficient Preparation At End. Rome, Thursday, Sept. 9, 7:45 p. m., via Paris, Sept. 10, 9:35 a. m.— “Grand Duke Nicholas lacked suffi- cient energy to profit from his tri- umphs when the Russian armies were victorious,” writes General Corsi, in the Tribuna. “ He also lacked the influence to impress upon the Em- peror the fact that the bureaucracy was responsible for the insufficiency of military preparations. During the retreat, however, Grand Duke Nich- olas showed a clear mind, capable of formulating precise views and reach- ing prompt decisions. “Thus it was that the retreat, which wmight have been turned into a rout, became through the leadership of Grand Duke Nicholas one of the | Breatest military successes if history from a strategical standpoint. It is without comparison except for the fa- ous retreat narrated by Xenophon.” Suit ? What Are You Going | Do About It?
