SQUEEZE PLAY IS T I IH T. Arthur Irwin Declares That It Was Invented Many Years Ago. NF.XV VORK, .Innuary 25,?Arthur irwln, the poerleas a'cout of thc Hlgh? landers, wlshes a coiiuiilsalon would bo appointed to asccrtnlti when aud whero thc play now known iih the "squeeze" wns Invented. Irwln hns n great memory, biit he cannot remem* bor what person eVOlved the. Idea Of when the play (list was used. "We hnd tht rqueeze plny ln baaebfll) yonrs n??o," sald Irwin reconllyN'but ?c dld not call lt by thnt name. Wo not only hnd the squeeze play that brlngs the runner In from thlrd, but on tlio Bos? ton Brotherhood team ln 1800 we used the Kcheme of havlng the mnn on sec? ond start to steal Just ua the battcr lumU-d." Irwln. who ls n srrnp-book [lend, has Ihe dnciinients to prove hls Wsertion thi.t lhe squeeze plny was much used lu the Playets' league, nnd thinks he .an dlg lip ftorne Uterature thnt wlll show tho Provldence champlons had tlie squeoze ln thoir repertolrp ln 18S4. une of the flrst trnees Of the Hqueeze play ln the Players' League ln l.sOO wan In tho game played on the Con? gress Htreet grounds, Boston. on Aprll Sltjb, between Jr,d>" Ward'a Brooklyns nnd Mlke ICelly'a B'oaneater*. A cllp? plng ln Irwlh'a possession ?relates that wlth Marry Stovey oii third -foe Qulnn trlc.l to bunt tho hall "o thut Stovey COUld score. Dave Orr, who waa play? ing In <!o"e, look the hall on the Hy and .shot It to Scrappy Blll Joyce for a duul slaughter. Thla Incldcttt Har? pened ln tlio fourth inr.lng. In the eighth round Dan Brouthers was "squecred" home by Irwln. The cllpplng reada as follows: "Blg Dan went around to third. Irwln bunted, and' Brouthers made for the plate. Connle Murphy got the ball, but the blg flnt baseman got ln hlB run by a good allde." Altogether Irwln has about flfty ?llpplngs to show that tho Brotherhood teams worked the squeeze, and worked lt Juat aa well, as the Hlghlanders have been dolng. No baseball commisslon wlll be neces? sary to dlscovcr the inventor of the name of the Yannlgana. aa applled to the Juve? nlle sectlon of a club. Thla word was a favorlto one of Mlko Kelly's, and he frequcntly used It. It was not, however, untll 185,1 that thc aecond teams bettan to bo known aa Yannl gana. The fashlon started wlth the Philadelphla Natlcmals. then command ed by Irwln. He divided hls forces In a hotel one ralny day and appointed Mlko Grady captaln of the second team and selected a Quaker scrlbe as manager of the combinatlon. Whcn a player was llsted ln the Yannlgan brl Rado he left thc room. Iu half an hour Orady corno back and told Irwin the Yannlgan8 had thelr sl^nala and would be ready to play the veterans Just as Boon as the wcaUier cleared. Tho Yannigans never were able to beat the PJiillleB that spring. but they created a lot of trouble for Virginia I^i'g.ie cttibs. The flrst day the two tearaa started Nortfh the Phlllies were ln Richmond and the Yannigans in Peterboro. The veterans had a hard time wlnnliiK thelr game. thn score being 6 to 5. About 6 o'clock that ovenlng there came a telepraplilc mes ??"gs to Irwin from Captaln Mlchael Aiigelo Grady, whlch read aa follows: "Yannigans to-day defeated Peter horo 17 to 1. L,ocal managTP sflVH 1VC aro too strong for hla club. Wants regulara sent here Instead." ;The hablt of calling second teams innnlgans Is graduallv dying out. Thev stlll follow It In Philadelphla with both the clubs there. but In other cltlea there 1? a dlsposltlon to have classler litlcs for the second teams. In Boston the National League regulars nro the Dovea nnd team No. 2 the Squabs. Jn Cleveland one brigade is the Naps and tho other the Yaps.

Marathon runnlng was Introduced Into baseball by Oeorgo Stallings when the Blg Chlef was leader of the Plilllies ln 1896. The pllot of the Hlghlanders thinks tho proper start of trainlng for a player Is to get the surplus flesh off. Stallings was having hls men take long Jaunts across the country, but they wero not making' any Maloney or Longboat records. However, on thc day that Bob Fitzslmmons wrested the heavywelght charnplonshlp from Jim Corbett out in Nevada, tho Phlllies mado aomn great tlme. The pack of twenty, all of them anxioiis to be at a Virginia opera houso where the re? turns by rounda were to be recelved, lost thelr way on' thelr morning gallop! and had to cover slxteen miles to get back to thelr starting placo. Over lilll and dale thes8 athlclcs flew, men who generally went at a dog trot belng rlght up ln front. Stalllngt waa one of those ln the van. and sc waa Jack Clementa. Buc the real pace aetter waa an Indlan, Jimmison. When tho Phlllies flnally reached thelr ob Jcctlve polnt half of them were so tlred that Instead of going to tho opera house they went to thelr rooms am! stayed thero for the next forty-elghl hours. As a consequenco of the bal' players' Marathon ln 1890, Stallings had to cut out practlce for the team fot two days. 3oine Forin of IleUlng. NEW ORLEANS, LA.. January 25.?
