Text | In a long article about ballplayers joining the army, titled "The Base Ball Fraternity--How it will be Affected by the Volunteers Leaving" it notes "The Potomac Club occupies the Reservation Grounds, near the White House, and, as an umpire is a prominent personage in a contest, the 'boys' should select 'Old Abe' and they are sure to get justice done them. In his youth, among the rail splitters, doubtless he has often played 'one old cat' if not base ball." |
