It has been my privilege to travel many thou sands of miles with the greatest players the game has produced, to Share in their amusements, to listen to their yarns of by-gone days, when the profession was not so attractive an one as it is today, and note their peculiarities of play upon many fields, under many interesting circum stances; hence I trust that this little volume may not prove unworthy a place among the base-ball literature of the day. I can not sufficiently thank those of my fellow correspondents whose clever pens have done much to make the book attractive.
