Anyway, they made the' discovery that we could play ball: That same fall, when Rockford was organizing a new professional team, father received a bid for tho whole Anson family. Of course he could not leave his business even to become a professional ball player, and he needed Sturgls to help him so I was the only available vAnson, and I signed with the Forest Citys at a salary of $66 a month, which In those days was regarded as fairly good pay for a ball player, especially one who was only eighteen and a novice. Two other members of the team I had organized, Sager and Haskins* were also engaged, to play «n the Rockford team, and I looked at that as a tribute to the Anson baseball judgment.
