Baseballs and gloves were a necessity but there was no money in the family treasury for such un-necessary things so we were left to our own ingenuity. We solved this the fall of the year by picking nuts and selling them to the townspeople.

When a youngster it was my ambition to play the game and some day be a good player. like most of the boys of my day had no coach as boys of this day and age. We copied older players, even to the chaw which most of them poked into then- jaw. I often wondered just what benefit they got from such a deformed condition of the cavity commonly known as the face.

Be that as it may we considered it necessary to be a successful ball player. The first time I tried it I got so sick I had to leave the game, but I finally developed a fine deformity of the face. I thought that I was surely on my way. Later I chose to regard it in a lighter vein. Unless you need it to balance the upper part of your anatomy I would not recommend it to the younger generation, You could, in the excitement of the game "swaller the juice" and that's bad! In those days each wide place in the road had a team which they would back to the limit with "money, chalk or marbles!" Many a poor soul after imbibing too freely woke up the next morning with a bad taste in his mouth and an empty pocketbook.

He knew by the looks of that purse that Mudville had lost But such men were good losers and, as incredible as it may seem, they would, be back for the next game, possibly getting it where they had lost it or letting the "hide go with the tallar" as they would say. I got my liking for the game when but a youngster in country school. No noon, or recess was long enough to suit us when the weather was right Often I had a feeling that they were longer than usual, per- mark was the result. But we would usually accomplish our objective and come up -with the required paraphernalia. We usually paid enormous prices "in trade" but that was the least of our troubles.

We could play balU About this time there were several good ball teams in our community. Guthrie Center had a good team, also Fansler and Monteith. Guthrie usually announced a game with the Guthrie Center Military Band, as could produce. If I remember rightly during the the haps game the teacher liked the as well I was a small game and people would turn out enmasse. Tickets were ten and twenty-five cents which was plenty high in those days.

As my home was two and one- half miles south of Guthrie I would get to see them play. 1 still remember the players in their well tidied uniforms marching behind the Band to the fair-grounds, the well kept grounds and the enthusiasm of the -crowd. No wonder a player was a wonderful person and a dream to my childish heart 1 thrill at the picture that comes back to my eyes as 1 write. Just fifty years ago, but it seems like yesterday. 0 why must such things pass on and out of the vision of the boys of today.

Could I go back to such childhood days and youthfulness I would gladly forsake the ways to today as we see them. Could I but roam the fields as then with my willow fish pole, my dog and my gun and BASEBALL. But time marches on and the boy- of today will no doublt have memories of other things to cherish, but none, in our estimation that will come up to those of yesteryear. The Monteith and Fansler teams seemed to have a feud between them which time could not erase. Telephones were a new thing at that time and I Let's get back to tht OvthrK Center tetm of my day ttxt aft how many of them I can remember.

There was Johnie McLmu ghlin, Emerson Ely, Ward Badger, carl Holster, Whkey (somebody)--all I can remember. Bayard had a good team of Tom Sill, Neff, Mauzy, GUmore, Strausers, Curttees, etc. Monteith had Charles, John afld Harmon' Parrish, Harley Stanley, Pete and Caulus Jor- don--aU I can remember and Fansler had Tug Winters, Jim Clark, Skin Renslow, Jim Mansel, etc. It would be fun to hear from someone who could furnish the complete roster of the teams. Let's have them boys.

Baseball goes way back. Once Satan challenged the Lord to a game. He was told to beat it, nothing to do with the likes of him. But later some old players got through the Golden Gate and the challenge was reversed. "But you haven't a chance," said Satan.

"Why not?" "The Umps are all down here!" So long. I'll be seeing you.

When I was 12 years of age I used to have to drive the cattle to water and pasture every day.

The boys of the neighborhood would gather at the old mill and have a good swim to start things off, followed by a few hours of fishing for suckers and bullheads; NODE would come and we usually would consider it too much of a chore to go home for dinner, Dad might put a stop to further activities for the day, so we would just forget the dinner arid have another swim instead.

Seemed to me like on certain days when the weather was damp but not muddy, they would come into in their Democrat wagons, as they were called, and wend their way to the bail park on the fair grounds. I also developed this uncanny intuition and I would get my "shanks horses" going and hie to the park." Seldom did I have a nickle or dime to spend, so I would go in by. the horse barns, thus evading tickej, man, and cheer as lustily as though I had paid fiill fare. (Should any of the players, on- those teams read this will gladly pay if "they will present a bill). As we worked hard during week days.

The older we got the harder we worked, but we usualy found time during some part of the day, usually after dinner when we were to have a round with the ball and mitt. I often wonder how we did keep going. Up at sunrise, chores till six, in the field by seven to fpilow a walking plow until noon; to dinner after which we spent our rest hour playing ball. Then back to the field until six. Supper, chores and seldom to bed before eleven--this, all week long, one day after another.
