Now 1 don't want to endanger my reputation for modesty, but I don't mind telling you that the teams selected for this pioneer service—the "baseball argonauts of 1874" a newspaper man christened them at the big sendoff on the night before sailing— contained some mighty solid baseball Umber. No history of the game would be worth a tinker's cuss word with their names left out. Note the Beancaters' makeup as I take them, one by one, from my dairy: A. O. Spalding, pitcher Jim O'Rourke, first base Ross Barnes, second base Harry Bchafer, third base George Wright, shortstop A. J. Leonard, left field: Cal McVey, right field Harry Wright, csnter field Thomas H. Beals and bam Wright, Jr., substitutes. Can you beat it?
