Dakin continued with the Putnams.
pitching many winning games and aided
his c'.ub greatly by his heavy hit-j
ting.
in 1SS! came the firing on Fort
Sttmtcr and the beginning of the Civil
war. Many of the old bail crabs were i
completely wrecked by enlistments.
Dakin was one of the first men to join '
the colors with a famous Brooklyn 1
regiment.
His judgment and acts of bravery
daring the early months of the conflict
soon secured a commission for him
and he left the war as a bragidier
general.
History might repeat itself in this
war with Alexander or some of the
other great pitchers now in service,
should they advance tnrough the
ranks of a high position in army circles.
