DAVE SMITH, "SUB" SECOND-BASEMAN OF REDS OF '69, LIVES IN LIBERTY

LIBERTY, Ind., Oct. 4. Old Davo Smith was In this town this week while other survivors ot the CincinI nati Reds of 1869 were In Cincinnati ! watching the overthrow of the White j sox in the first two games of the I world Beriea clashes. And his heart !was atRediand Field. Old Dave never played on that fajmoua team of 1869. but he devoted ev- : ery minute he could spare from his to1 bacco business to go to an old lot back ! of what now 18 Lincoln park and practice with the crack nine. He was con8ldered the "sub" second baseman, j He's Nicknamed "Sweasy." j So good was he In those days, he ; was 26, that they nicknamed him 1 "Sweasy" in honor of Charles Sweasy, j the Red's second baseman, and one of ! the greatest in the history of the game, j The name lingered, "I certainly did want to get down to ! Cincinnati to see if George Wright and ; Cal McVey of the '69 team have j changed much," Smith said, ; Smith, in his baseball days, was a : powerful 180-pound six-footer. He has j lost much weight, true, but one does not have to exercise a superimagination to see the power that was. Betting on Champs. "But let me tell you." and he pointed a long finger, out of joint from a thrown baseball 50 years ago, "I'm betting on the Reds for the series. They'll take five out of nine. "I've been waiting 50 long years for this no-v my dreams have come true! I was the told them up there this year for the Rods to win. And why haven t the Reds come through before? Because they never had a manager. "Pat Mcran is a geeral, just as Wright was for the old team. But we didn't call him a manager then it was Captain Wright." The reporter and Smith had a long talk In Smith's home on his little farm. And the old man lived again his youth. He told of the scenes in Cincinnati when Abraham Lincoln was shot. "On the 14th of April, 1865, flags were everywhere in Cincinnati. That night everything was draped in mourning. I never saw a city change so suddenly." Clock Has Record. He told how he went with a delegation to boost the presidential candidacy of George Pendleto.

"There never was as much interest in baseball in all Its history as there is today," he continued. Congressman A. E. B. Stephens is Smith's nephew. His great grandfather fought In the Revolutionary war. Smith, the only boy, was in the state guard called to defend Cincinnati, in the Civil war. As the reporter was waiting for the train to pull out of Liberty, Smith appeared and handed him a bunch of white and purple asters. "Here," he said, "give these to George Wright if you see him during the world series, and tell him Dave Smith is not playing ball anywhere, but raising flowers."

Maxwells Will Close Seasons Here Tomorrow Each team has won one game from each other this season and Sundays herap at Exhibiton Park between the Richmond Quakers and the Newcastle Maxwells will settle the question of supremacy between them.

Copeland, their backstop, has played minor league ball for several seasons in the Western Association, Eastern League and the Virginia State League. All of the Maxwells have had league experience. This will be the last game of the season. As Newcastle considers herself a serious rival to Richmond In everything that goes on, a large delegation is expected to follow their team to our fair city.
