A Ball Player’s Career

CHAPTER XIV
9/13

I have said that he was a fair fielder, and in that respect perhaps I am rating him too high, as his poor fielding cost us several games that in my estimation we should have won.

Dalrymple was a queer proposition, and for years a very steady player.

He was never known to spend a cent in those days, and was so close that he would wait for somebody else to buy a newspaper and then borrow it in order to see what was going on.

Later on he broke loose, however, and when he did he became one of the sportiest of sports, blowing his money as if he had found it and setting a hot pace for his followers.
He finally settled down again, however, and now holds a good railroad position in the Northwest, where he is living with his family.

George F.Gore, who played the center field, came here from New Bedford, Mass., being brought out by Mr.Hulbert, who was in charge of the club at the time he came to us.
