Text | The first impetus given to base ball as a profession was the famous tour of the Cincinnati nine in that wonderful season of theirs, when they defeated in succession the Mutual, Atlantic, Eckford and Athletic Clubs, and woke the Eastern folks up to the fact that many of the players in their organizations were living on their old reputations, and that to compete with such as nine as Harry Wright had brought out not only young blood was required, but steady practice. |
