Text | About the happiest man on the Philadelphia ball grounds is Tom Taylor. He is a little man, who wears a red jacket and a white cap. Sometimes Tom Taylor rakes the stones out of the gravel around the bases with a long-handled rake as big as himself and sometimes he hunts up foul balls which are hit into the crowds in the open seats. After each game Tom Taylor rubs down the pitchers and the catchers’ arms. For the want of a better title Tom Taylor is known as “the trainer.” When the Phillies go away on a trip Tom Taylor is disconsolate. He sits and mopes when left alone and his only consolation is found in throwing the ball around with the “kids,” as he calls the players who are left at home. |
