TRACY, '68, WRITES OF BASEBALL AT M A. C. 50 YEARS AGO. E d i t or RECOBD: letter r e g a r d i ng I was greatly interested in Mr. Prud- den's the status of baseball at the College some years ago, but he evidentally knows little of an cient history. Even I do not know when the game became the vogue, but know I en it was n o u r i s h i ng when tered the College in 1866. We students were few in those days, only about a hundred of us, a nd several of the fac ulty joined with us. Dr. Daniells, As sistant in Chemistry and later Dean of the Wisconsin Agricultural College, was our s t ar pitcher; Cook, of Entom things—was an effi ology—and other cient second baseman until the even ing when he broke his ankle in mak ing a wonderful slide for home; and Prentiss, Prof, of Botany, often played with us, but was so a w k w a rd t h at most of us preferred" t h at he should play on the side of our opponents, while he always preferred u m p i r i ng to field position. We had some really good players t h e n: Hurl- biirt, who could wield a 42-inch hick ory bat with ease and precision; Da vis, who could in 10 run flat; and Sprague, who was seconds fly. We had to miss a never known uniforms, exactly what not league players wear now, but we thought for midable. they made us look very the bases taking a too; the time In 1868 we played the University of Michigan. At "live" t h at ball was used, and the old rules were in force, both of which were greatly in favor of the "ins." We played a 11-inning game and were beaten by a the small score score to 2 to 1, but was the world record for the time. It is an interesting coincidence t h at we played semi the same club at our in 1907—and were again centennial beaten by the same score, 2 to 1. I have always been a bit of a "fan," funnier but have never seen a y t h i ng t h an was Guy Stewart—peace to his ashes—at the 1907 game, romping up and down the bleachers coaching the "rooters." Unfortunately the best of rooting does not always show on the score card. in front of ganized in 1868, and had a member ship of about sixty, being officered by students who had served in the civil war. This organization was permit ted, but not recognized by the faculty, the use of though we were allowed some old muskets which we found in the basement of Saint's Rest—of bless ed memory. I do not know what be come of the organization after 1868, but infer t h at it "was not." If a full history of those early days could be w r i t t en it would be intensely interesting, and I hope we may have many more such that of Mr. Prudden. I hope much from Dr. Deal's history, which I have not yet seen, but he is so young, and went to t h at he has the College so recently, had to depend on tradition regarding t he early days. records as (Special Agent, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Biloxi, Miss.) S. M. TRACY, '68. A. J. COOK, '62, SERI OUSLY ILL. '62, has been The sad news of the serious illness reported of A. J. Cook, from Owosso. He is at the home of his son, A. B. Cook, '93. For several years Prof. Cook has been very suc cessful as State Commissioner of Hor ticulture This posi tion was resigned early this year, and for some time he has been in the east; in Columbus, Ohio; Washington, D. C. and now in Owosso in search of the conscientious health which his very application to duties in California h as made precarious. for California. Prof. Cook has a host of friends and in Michigan. He was con a d m i r e rs nected with M. A. C. from 1867 to 1893 in various capacities, first as in structor in mathematics, then as zoolo gist and t h en entomologist. H is stud ies and w r i t i n gs on bees has won for him a national reputation. After leav ing M. A. C. he served several y e a rs as professor of biology at Po mona College, Claremont, California. Here he was as popular as at M. A. C. Many, many friends will await newTs of Prof. Cook's recovery with intense interest. for The class of 1913 should begin now The first military company was or to plan on their reunion for 1917. ^ BUILDING NOTES. in the t h at term in order Work on the new engineering build is progressing as rap ing and shops idly as weather will permit. The shops have been staked out, m a t e r i a ls have begun sheds to arrive and building are erected. Classes in foundry have bad to be discontinued for the rest of foundry the might be torn down to m a ke room for the shops. A change has been an t h i rd nounced the shop, the one for foundry and forge. It was found t h at its erection directly back of the other two would not give room for expansion of the power plant and coal sheds which would naturally take place in this direction so it has been moved to the west where it will extend partly back of the E n g i n e e r i ng of Wells Building and partly back the comple Hall. Contracts call for tion of this by September 1st, and the other shops by October 1st. location of the The r e m a i n i ng walls of the old En gineering Building have been razed reconstruction to the foundation and work wiD s t a rt very soon. Contract calls for the completion of the R. E. Olds Hall of E n g i n e e r i ng by Decem that ber 1st, although it some of the rooms will be ready for use earlier t h an this. is expected in foundation. The contractors on the gymnasium building have been working for some time p u t t i ng Consid erable difficulty has been encountered with quicksand but the work has pro gressed to such a point now t h at rapid advance may be expected for the near future. ON THE FIRING LINE IN AFRICA. George M. Odium of the class of 1900 has been located. Letters were sent to him last fall at Salisbury, Rho desia, Africa, where it was understood t h at he was engaged in the real estate business. A card j u st received gives his address as Box 285, Nairobi, Brit ish E a st Africa. At present he is a the British Forces motor driver for t h at until in East Africa and writes war is concluded he does not know where he may be. THE M; A C.
