Spalding's CJiicago Amateur Base Ball Annual. PREFACE Tn presenting to base ball lovers this book, the second annual publication of The Chicago Base Ball Annual and Inter- City Base Ball Association Year Book, the publishers desire to congratulate both the amateur and semi-professional players of the Garden City on their work last year. It was thought by many of those close to the heart of base ball that at the close of igo4 the game had reached a point from which improvement would be almost impossible and the growth if any, but small. During the winter, however, various things happened both to base ball and other sports, the former showing that plans were being laid for more extensive campaigns by the managers, while in the latter, notably horse racing, a decided retrograde move- ment was seen and the first meeting of the Inter-City Association proved that base ball this year was to prove even better this year than last. Already last season's records for the number of games played on a single Sunday have been passed, although Spring has hardly arrived, while a gain has been made both in the number and the personnel of the players engaged in Saturday base ball in the ranks of the amateur leagues. Two distinct movements, out of the ordinary, are noticeable this year, the first being the number of new parks which are being fenced in at the desirable locations all over Chicago, nearly all of which are proving money makers right from- the start, while the second movement is the rapid rise of many of the smaller base ball clubs into the semi-professional ranks. The first of these movements, that of the building of base ball parks, is directly traceable to the enormous success scored by West End Park, the grounds at Forty-eighth Avenue and West Madison Street, where the crowds went in droves almost on the opening day and have continued ever since. When Gunther Park was opened almost at the end of last year, at the corners of Ashland, Leland Avenues and North Clark Street, it capped the success of the West End Athletic Association, and the rival managers of the grounds have been in friendly argument ever since as to which is drawing the most people. Other managers viewed with surprise the wonderful success of these two parks and it was not very long before reports began to flow in of other grounds being fenced in and grand stands going up. With careful management there should be no reason why every one of these new parks should not pay handsomely on WILLIAM C. NIESEN, Manager Gunther Base Ball Club. Spaldings Chicago Amateur Base Ball Annual. ii the investment and incidentally the game be benefited by their existence. As for the second state of things, the increase in the number of semi-professional teams, the term semi-professional being applied to those teams which play games for either a percentage of the receipts received from paid admissions, or a stated guarantee for the appearance of the team, the growth was fully expected. The building of so many new parks, over a dozen first-class ones coming under this head, has taken that number of teams off the traveling circuit and increased the number of grounds by just that number. This created a condition where a traveling team had more chance of getting a good game than the home team had and the better of the amateur teams have moved up a notch in consequence and are now traveling the circuit. Two years ago there were less than a dozen teams of the class of Manager Ollinger's Aurora team, Manager Niesen's Gunthers, Manager Lynam's West Ends, or the traveling teams, such as the Spaldings, Athletics, Marquettes, South Chicagos, All Chicagos and half a dozen others. This year fully twenty teams are'capable of putting up a stiff argument with any of the teams named. With the increase of the semi-professional element has come a dearth of really good players and minor and major leagues have not found the local men quite so willing to jump at any offer as in former years, as they are sure of permanent engage- ment inside the city with the opportunity of engaging in their regular occupation without interruption. That good men are in demand is conceded by all and no better illustration is possible of this lack than the fact that one man who used to hold top rank among local pitchers until injured two years ago by a _ pitched ball, was induced to get back into the game early in the season, the experiment, however, not proving a success. A victory achieved by the amateurs during the cold season has been that of landing their candidate in the spring elections to public office, the returns indicating that something like 50,000 votes were cast for Captain A. C. Anson out of 126,000 total votes, simply because of "Old Anse" having been a well-liked base iDall player. Without the help of the base ball men Anson's election would have proven impossible, and there is no doubt but that the city authorities appreciate this to the fullest extent. From the political side, amateur base ball players have nothing to fear so long as the game is conducted in a clean, wholesome manner and this is being done by the Inter-City Baseball Asso- ciation, the big free-lance organization which this year numbers every good team in the city in its ranks, treating both amateur and semi-professional alike.

    Repeal of Baseball's Longstanding Antitrust Exemption: Did Congress Strike out Again? INTRODUCrION "Baseball is everybody's business."' We have just witnessed the conclusion of perhaps the greatest baseball season in the history of the game. Not one, but two men broke the "unbreakable" record of sixty-one home-runs set by New York Yankee great Roger Maris in 1961;2 four men hit over fifty home-runs, a number that had only been surpassed fifteen times in the past fifty-six years,3 while thirty-three players hit over thirty home runs;4 Barry Bonds became the only player to record 400 home-runs and 400 stolen bases in a career;5 and Alex Rodriguez, a twenty-three-year-old shortstop, joined Bonds and Jose Canseco as one of only three men to have recorded forty home-runs and forty stolen bases in a 6 single season. This was not only an offensive explosion either. A twenty- year-old struck out twenty batters in a game, the record for a nine inning 7 game; a perfect game was pitched;' and Roger Clemens of the Toronto Blue Jays won his unprecedented fifth Cy Young award.9 Also, the Yankees won 1.

  • Christy Mathewson Was a Great Pitcher, a Great Competitor and a Great Soul
    “Christy Mathewson was a great pitcher, a great competitor and a great soul. Both in spirit and in inspiration he was greater than his game. For he was something more than a great pitcher. He was The West Ranch High School Baseball and Theatre Programs one of those rare characters who appealed to millions through a in association with The Mathewson Foundation magnetic personality attached to clean honesty and undying loyalty present to a cause.” — Grantland Rice, sportswriter and friend “We need real heroes, heroes of the heart that we can emulate. Eddie Frierson We need the heroes in ourselves. I believe that is what this show you’ve come to see is all about. In Christy Mathewson’s words, in “Give your friends names they can live up to. Throw your BEST pitches in the ‘pinch.’ Be humble, and gentle, and kind.” Matty is a much-needed force today, and I believe we are lucky to have had him. I hope you will want to come back. I do. And I continue to reap the spirit of Christy Mathewson.” “MATTY” — Kerrigan Mahan, Director of “MATTY” “A lively visit with a fascinating man ... A perfect pitch! Pure virtuosity!” — Clive Barnes, NEW YORK POST “A magnificent trip back in time!” — Keith Olbermann, FOX SPORTS “You’ll be amazed at Matty, his contemporaries, and the dramatic baseball events of their time.” — Bob Costas, NBC SPORTS “One of the year’s ten best plays!” — NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO “Catches the spirit of the times -- which includes, of course, the present -- with great spirit and theatricality!” -– Ira Berkow, NEW YORK TIMES “Remarkable!
