If you donate to the Hall of Fame and they do happen to get stolen don't expect the Hall of Fame to do anything about it, even if they know who stole them.

You mean no police report? No legal action of any kind? No firings? No effort to recover the stolen items?

It looks like the Wapellos were the class of their area. I like the quote about the " Suckers teaching them fellows about baseball. " Neat stuff.

The writing style and word usage was very different back then. As well as the scores! Do you think a run then is the same as a run now? Beat those pesky Davenport Scott boys 41 to 17. How about 5 1/2 o'clock?

Run was the same but with no gloves and no overhand pitching scoring runs was a lot easier.

Ah, no overhand pitches. Did you notice they report players catches? And the award for throwing?
