about Jack Johnson.

"Johnson has been signedwby Theo-

he has been arrested in Paris for not

“That Johnson is not a drawing card

ment at a leading house. He was there

League, all of the other members of
the team were my senior by many
years."

Mr. Cummings is 65 years old, but
does not think of himself as growing
old, is able to step about quits spry.
and can do his day's work with the
best of them at his trade of paper‘
hanging. He was a pitcher for the
Hartford team for two years, 1875 and
1576, the latter year the team being
owned by Mr. Bulkeley, who was also
at the head of the National League,
the first year of its existence. The
Hartford team was managed by Bob
Ferguson.

At the close of the season of 1870
Mr. Cummings held out for an increase
in salary and was refused. leaving the;
team and going to Lynn. Mass, from
where he went to Pittsburgh as or-
ganizer for the International League
and after a few months retired from
professional baseball. He played semi-
professional ball for s time in 1878,
but donned his uniform very little at-
ter that your. ‘

Always an ardent baseball man, Mr.
Cummings is very tree to talk about
the old days and tells an interesting
story of his career while with the
Hartford learn.m

"Hartford was a member of the Ne-
tloual Association in l875, my first
year there, but the National league
was formed in 1870 in order to make:
the rules more stringent and force the
players to deliver better baseball. Both

The Curved Ball.

”Much of my success was dueto my
introduction of the curved bull. It was
back in '68 when I first began to have
success with curve pitching and by the
time I played with Hartiord the use
of the ball hadb’ecome quite generally
known, though even then, almost ten
years later, most 0! the pitchers only
used it intermittently and refusedto
depend upon it as I did. I taught liltio.
Bob Mathews and it took him two
years to get it “under control. letter 1
showed thewuy to IMann, of Prince-
ton. and Avery of Yale. ‘

“As i recall It, the best game I ever
pitched was a game that I lost. It
was in ‘75 when Hartford played
against Chicago. Zeittlein was twirl-
ing for Chicago and we went down ‘to
defeat, ‘1 to o. in eleven Innings. 1
had won a number of l to 0 games
which were none too frequent in those.
days, but ma were nine-inning bati-
ties. This 0' of eleven Innings stood
for years as the longest 1 to 0 game
in the history of baseball. Chicago se-
cured six hits oi! me and Hartford had
tallied eleven, but we lost. it was an
error by Burdock, ,a wild throw that.
hit a runner going from first to second.
that started the trouble. the runner
reaching third and only one man being
out.

"The man at but was a good hitter
and l was trying my best to have him
hit to center field. Instead the ball
was hit to left and right away l knew
it was all, over. I run behind the
catcher to back him up. but knew it
was useless for the man in left field.
while he could throw home, invariably
sent the ball far over the catchers
head. The left fielder handled the ity
cleanly and the runner on third tied
for home. Just as I anticipated the
ball came with}; away over the
catchers hem and l gathered it in.
The run tallied and we went down to
defeat. Had that run been shot or.
there in no telling how long that game.
would have lasted."
