THE BASEBALL MASK. It Was First Used In a Yale -Harvard Game In 1876. Frederick Winthrop Thayer of Co basset, Harvard '78, captain of the famous varsity nines of 1876. 1877 and 1878. was the inventor of the I catcher's mask. The days when Thayer entered Harvard baseball differed somewhat from the present. A pitcher had to throw underhanded and end his throw with arm stretched out. Then that changed, and as a conse- quence the ball was thrown much more swiftly. Dr. Harold C. Ernst, a professor in the Medical school, was pitcher o A. Tyng wonderfu varsity nine. and James as catcher. They made a battery. Thayer noticed that the more free- dom given, the pitcher the greater be- came the risk of the catcher. One day he let a few into the secret. He was going to make a mask. A. few days before the Yale game of 1876 he came on the field with it. Save for the fact It was made more heavily, it was much similar to the masks in use today. Thayer attached it to Jim Tyng's head, and from that moment the mask entered baseball. At first the players, other than those in the varsity, and the spectators were inclined to ridicule it, and it caused no end of comment when it was worn by Tyng at the Yale game that year.

RAILROAD COMEDY Methods of Operation In 1852 Seem Laughable Today. QUAINT RIGHT OF WAY RULES. On the Western and Atlantic When Trains Met Between Stations and a Dispute Arose the Conductors Decid- ed Which Train Had -to Back Down. A most interesting exhibit of the early days of railroading in this coun- try has been found by the Railroad Age Gazette. It is a schedule for pas- senger trains and rules for the conduct of enginemen and conductors on the Western and Atlantic, which was at the time and still is owned by the state of Georgia. The table is dated March 1, 1862, and was issued by Wil- liam M. Wadley, superintendent, fa- ther of George D. Wadley, the latter for many years manager of the Cen- tral Railroad of Georgia. ^r , The schedule shows a picture of au engine and cars at the top. Under it the numbers and names of the sta- tions, the times for arrival, the times for departure and the time taken to run between stations as well as re- marks about passing sidetracked freights are all carefully tabulated. In the rules for enginemen and con- ductors are many which seem quaint In this age of colossal railroading. Of course the road had only one track, - and rule 14 for passenger conductors shows that there must.have been some dispute when trains met as to which train had the right to keep on its way uninterrupted. This rule says: \As a general rule, when trains meet between stations the train nearest the turnout will run back. Any dispute as to which train is to retire is to be de- termined at once by the conductors without interference on the part of the enginemen. This rule is required to be varied in favor of the heaviest loaded engine or worst grades if they meet near the center.\ Rule 7 gives the conductor directions for reporting on the number of passen- gers who are paying and the number of ministers of the gospel who were to be charged half price when on busi- ness connected withltheir calling. The same rule indicated that the governor of the state and the general superin- tendent of the road were the only indi- viduals who had a right to give 'asses. The conductor was ordered to in- spect the running gear of his train at every station and in rule 13 was ad- monished never to leave Atlanta or Chattanooga without the mail or with- out first sending to the postoffice after i it. Rule 17 says that a train stopping I at any station at night must invariably be run on the turnout So is to leave the main track clear, and that strict watch had to be kept in all cases where a train stopped at night. In the regulations for passenger en- ginemen there are a number which seem almost humorous in this period of railroad management. For instance, the engineman was instructed that if his train killed any stock and threw the cow or cows in such a ,position as to endanger the safety of the next train he was to stop his train and see that the track was cleared. Passenger trains were not to exceed the speed of their schedule except when behind time, in which case the speed might be increased three miles an hour generally. In passing turnouts (the turnout evidently was the switch- ing track) the speed had to be dimin- ished to six miles an hour. Rule 6 might be put in force today with good effect and to the delight of a much jolted traveling public. It reads: \In connecting and in starting with his train the engineman will be ex- ceedingly careful in the management of the throttle so that the cars may not be injured or the passengers annoyed by the sudden violence of the start.\ This paragraph is found at the end of the regulations for enginemen: \For any splation of the above rules, for running off at turnouts, for killing of stock by daylight and for all other irregularities the general super- intendent will impose such fines as he deems just and called for by the na- ture of the offense.\ The freight trains took two days to make the 137 miles between Atlanta and Chattanooga. The stops at the stations varied from ten to sixty min- utes. e 0ne of the rules for freight con- ductors about keeping a certain dis- tance from the trains ahead of him and behind him shows that there must have been a delightful uncertainty about the provisions for changing meeting points in ease trains were de layed. It is evident that there was no telegraph communication along the line, although this was eight years after Morse had demonstrated that he could send messages over the wire from Washington to Baltimore. Sev- eral months before Charles Minot also had made use of the telegraph in ordering the operation of trains on the , Erie.
