Van Haltren started hi baseball career In 1881 as catcher for the Oakland Emeralds. In 1286 he changed to pitcher, about the same time the club changed its name to the Green hood end Morans, and Joined the Cali fornia State league. The club Joined the California league two weeka after and It was then that his pitching be came the rage. He struck out 4S men n tbe.first three games in that league. Twice he struck out 21. In one game he retired the crack Haverly team with out . A . hit and once struck out the aide on nine pitched balls. His fame soon went east and he was besieged with offers to ilgn with Detroit. Bos ton and Pittsburg, In the National league. He Anally signed with Pitts burg, but never reported and was traded to Chicago for McCormack and reported to the latter club in 1284. Van stayed with Chicago until the fall of 1882 and played' outfield and pitched during that time. - Van Joined the Brooklyn Brotherhood in 1224 and pitched end played in the field. During the war between the. Na tional league and American associa tion hskgot an offer for a two years' contract with Baltimore A. A., which was accepted in 1821. and 1222. He was aold to. Pittsburg in 1892 and played center field in 1292. He was sold the following- winter to New York. John M. Ward realised his worth and played him In center field for ten consecutive years, v Tiring of the east, he cast his fortunes on the coest again, and signed a contract with Seattle. He was traded to Oakland In 1225 and assumed the management that yean From 1222 to 1101. Inclusive, he betted, over .100, varying- from .201 to .262. Ha was un fortunate In breaking his ankle In 1202, and didn't play any ball that year. He has played before greet crowds In New York and elsewhere.- and during his career on th diamond has seen many ball player come and go. He is called the grand old man of baseball, and but four men are playing ball today who were In the -game with hire when he flret went eaet In 1887. , The men are James 0"Rourke, Lave - Cross, James Ryan and James McOulre. In spite of hi supposed great age. Van 1 only 40. He claim that he can produce the paper if any on doubt him. - ,-. . . , .. . By George B. Van Haltren.

It ha been su crested hv devotees of th gam that possibly teams might be imported from Canada or amateur team collected in San Francisco and the sur rounding country to play practice gams with th university team before the an nual contest between tke great rivals. However well this plan is advocated It is hardly a possibility, as the expense of transportation la too great, and then again the managera do not want to spsnd a large sum of money until they are assured that the people will patron- se tne new sport as they did the old- style game. -..'.

Agala 'there are many in Berkeley who have never played th old game, but who will now dive Into the mysterious play of Rugby for all they ar worth.
