From chapter on East Cocalico Township
Text: There have been five distilleries in this township. These were erected by Andrew Bushong, three miles southeast from Reamstown; Martin H. Fry, about a mile from Bushong's; John Mishler, half a mile northwest from Reamstown; and Jacob Mishler, three miles northwest from Reamstown. They were operated during many years by the persons who established them, but all have ceased; some have been converted into dwellings, and some have gone to decay. One was erected at Reamstown by Philip Bushong in 1835, and a steammill was added to it in 1838. A large business was carried on for a time, but about 1850 it was abandoned and the fixtures were removed to Reading. A large quantity of spirits were left stored there, and the increase in its value, which was caused by the civil war, made the owner very wealthy. Stone photo present

Origin of Catcher's Glove
---------------
Described by Old Timer Well Padded Mitt of Today
--------------
Vastly Different From One Tried in 1875.
---------------------
PROVED GREAT BLESSING
-------------------It was in 1875 that gloves were first recognized as necessary accessories to a catcher kit. Frank McGunnigle, famous ball player and manager, was then catching for Fall River in a game against Harvard College Mac's hands were very sore, but It was necessary that he should catch He sent out for a pair of bricklayer's gloves, thick, strong things of hard leather. In practice he found that, while they protected the palms, there was not liberty enough for the fingers to throw. An idea struck him. He whipped out a jack-knife (ball players went armed those days) and cut off the fingers of the right-hand glove "Fine." said Frank, "fine! I have discovered something." But an inventor, a real one. was in the game. Tyng, of Harvard, the real inventor of the catcher's mask, was behind the bat for his college. Tyng had his eye on Mac, ever watching how the bricklayer's gloves worked in a ball game,catching base balls instead of bricks. After the game Tyng got busy. He bought a pair, and as a first improvement, had the palms lined with thin sheet lead, and this glove was used for some time in that section of the country, but when another genius appeared on the field, bearing the name of Guinnasso, with an improvement, his suggestion was adopted, and this improvement was the real origin of the padded glove. Guinnasso was a player on the Lowell team and had used the McGunnigle-Tyng ironclad mitt. He admitted that the glove was better than a lead pipe in a scrap, or to hand the ump what was due him, but it was too much of a handicap in playing ball, so Guinnasso bought a soft pair of walking gloves with a good thick lining. He amputated the fingers of both gloves and wore them under a pair of bricklayer's and the combination worked like a charm.

Shortly after this the makers of baseball paraphernalia turned their attention to gloves. It was hard to convince the manufacturers that the glove, or mitt, for the left hand should be thicker than the one for the right, but they finally reached the point after the most prominent catchers of the period demonstrated that the left hand had to bear the brunt of the shock consequent on the pitcher's delivery. The manufacturers thought they had placed on the market a pair of catcher's gloves made out of heavy buckskin lined with a thick padding, the fingers of the left hand glove reenforced by stiff leather tips and the glove for the right paw devoid of fingers and somewhat lighter. These gloves were popular for a number of years. However, many catchers had the glove padded to suit their individual ideas. "Doc" Bushong, the famous catcher of the old St Louis Browns, was very careful about his fingers, as he Intended practicing dentistry after his days as a ball player were over. He wore the largest glove he could find, and had added pads until It looked like a pillow. The doctor was proud of this affair, and would not allow any one to use it. Out of Bushong's idea grew the idea of the mitt, and when the famous Buck Ewing pranced on the field one day with something on his left hand that looked like a huge pillow he was greeted with roars of laughter mixed with jeers and catcalls. It only needed a few demonstrations from Buck to prove that the much-needed protection for the poor catcher had arrived. With the big mitt perfected, catchers had no use for a glove on the right hand, although the glove for the right hand had been given the goby some time before that by many backstoppers. In fact, the new mitt caused such an improvement in the work of all catchers that the infielders adopted the big pillow, and It was not long before the outfielders had one on their left hand. The craze became so great that the league body had to legislate against it, claiming it was hurting the game; In fact, making a farce of it.

But the improved catcher's mitt has proved a great blessing to the backstopper. It has enabled him to do double work and do It easier and better. Just compare the hands of the present-day catcher with those of any old-timer. Compare the hands of Rober P. Bresnahan with the bunch of knots Charley Bennett calls hands. Bennett, with "Silver" Flint, caught the speed merchants of the olden days with nothing on their hands except the dirt they had to rub on to dry the perspiration.

SPORTOGRAPHY
By "Gravy"
-------------------------------------
ORIGIN OF CATCHER'S GLOVES.

It was just 44 years ago. in 1875, that a baseball backstop first used gloves to protect his hands His name was Frank McGunnigle, and he was then catching for the Fall River club. It was in a game with the Harvard club that he hit upon the idea of using gloves. McCunnigle's hands were very sore, and catching 'em with bare hands was exceedingly painful, so he bought a pair of heavy, hard leather gloves of the kind used by bricklayers. After a little experimenting Mac found that the mitts were too stiff to permit him to throw with accuracy, so he lopped off the fingers of the right hand glove. This worked nicely and the novel scheme attracted the attention of Jimmy Tyng, the Harvard backstop. Tyng was responsible for the next development in the catcher's glove. The Harvard player lined the palm of his gloves with thin sheet lead. Incidentally, it was Tyng who first developed and used a catcher's mask. It was In the same year. 1875 that he adopted the glove, that Tyng donned a mask suggested by Fred W. Thayer, but made practicable by the college backstop. The "ironclad." as the lead-padded glove was called, enjoyed a brief popularity, but it was soon superseded by a glove invented by a Lowell player named Guinasso. He got a pair of lined gloves of soft leather, cut off the fingers, and wore them beneath a pair of heavy leather gloves This combination was a considerable improvement, and a sporting goods manufacturer soon began to make a regular catcher's outfit This consisted of a glove for the left paw with a heavy padding in the palm and with the fingers reinforced with leather tips, while the glove for the right hand was fingerless.

"Doc" Bushong. backstop of the St. Louis Browns, was the first to use a catcher's mitt built along the lines now in vogue. He had specially made for his left hand a mitt that looked like a small pillow. "Doc" was a dentist, and he needed his fingers in his business, this necessity, fathering the invention of the real catcher's mitt. At first he was given the merry ha-ha by other players and fans, but the idea soon became popular, and in a few years even infielders and outfielders were wearing pillows. The baseball magnates had to pass a law against the big mitt, and confined its use to the catcher.

THE CATCHER'S GLOVE
Its Evolution in Response to Pitcher's Increase of Power.

It is just two years since Buck Ewlng created a sensation by wearing an immense glove on his left hand while taking Tim Keefe's hotshot behind the bat at the old Polo grounds. His first appearance with the glove which looked for all the world like a big boxing glove crushed out flat by a road roller, caused a shout of laughter from the assemblage but when the game was over Buck declared that his hand was not swollen a particle and that thereafter nothing could tempt him to relinquish his new guard to his big left hand. All through that season Buck worn the glove, and soon it was recognized as indispensable in the paraphernalia of the big back stop. There have been numerous improvements in catchers' gloves since that time but Buck has clung persistently to his first love.

It was In 1875 that gloves were first recognized as necessary accessories to a catcher's kit. Manager McGunnigle of the Brooklyn National League team was then catching for the Fall River team, and a game had been scheduled with the Harvard nine. Mac's hands were very sore but it was necessary that he should catch in that afternoon's game. He was puzzled for some time as to what course to pursue, but finally the idea of wearing a glove flitted across his brain. He visited a glove store, but after thinking the matter over for a few minutes decided that kids were not strong enough to withstand the pummeling they would receive, and so he selected a pair of bricklayer's gloves, thick, strong thing of hard leather. In preliminary practice at the grounds that afternoon he found that while the palms of his hands were protected there was not enough liberty for the fingers in throwing. A jackknife quickly removed the finger ends, and during the nine innings Mac experienced very little pain from the cannon-ball delivery of his pitcher. Tyng, the inventor of the catcher's mask, was the catcher of the Harvard team at that time and in the third inning he was tempted to try the glove. It worked so well he immediately bought a pair for himself, and being of an inventive mind, had them lined with lead. For some time McGunnigle and Tyng used gloves of the kind described, but when another genius appeared upon the field they adopted his suggestion.

This was was Gunnasso of the Lowell team. He had used Mac's glove for some time, but thought there could be an improvement made on the lead lining. He happened to be in Boston one day and drifted into Kant's glove store. He had just bought a pair of walking gloves and was preparing to depart when the clerk called his attention to a pair of gloves that had been especially made for the foreman of brick yard in a neighboring town. Gunnasso ordered a pair of the same kind and in a number of games that followed wore them over his tight-fitting gloves He removed the fingers of the right gloves but left those for the left hand intact. Shortly after that the makers of base ball paraphernalia turned their attention to gloves. There were many and numerous experiments from that time up to within three years all the manufacturers believing that the glove should be as light in weight as possible, while possessing the requisite strength and durability. But within the period mentioned the most prominent catchers demonstrated that the left hand had to bear the brunt of the shock consequent on the pitcher's delivery, and that the glove for that hand, in order to be successful would have to be of a peculiar type, far different from any thus far presented. Then Buck Ewing came to the front with his pillow amid roars of laughter and it only required a few days to show conclusively that the much-needed protector had been discovered.

One of the best gloves on the market today is that called a "perfect pillow." It is made of the choicest Plymouth buckskin. A continuous roll or cushion, tightly packed with curled hair, is firmly stitched around the palm, forming a deep hollow and the thumb of the glove is a sufficient bulwark to make it impossible for a foul tip, fly, or hard-thrown ball to put the human thumb out of joint.

The flexible glove is made of the choicest buckskin and is thoroughly padded with with chinchilla. The padding extends from the wrist to the finger tips, but there is a break at the roots of the fingers forming a sort of hinge by which the fingers are practically separate from the hand. The right glove is of a lighter grade of buckskin well padded or not, as the purchaser desires, and fingerless. Both gloves are hand sewed. Another left-hand glove that has met with considerable favor is made of the best buckskin, extra well-padded palm, and calf finger tips. However it is admitted by the majority of catchers that the best left-hand glove must have a fingerless front in order to reduce the liability to finger bruises and sprains to a minimum.

ANOTHER FOR THE CHAMPIONS
St. Louis, Sept. 18 --Cleveland again gave the champions a hard fight and only lost the game after a great struggle. The champions were given a rousing reception, fully 8,000 people being present. It was the first time since June 30 that Bushong has caught at home and the veteran catcher was given a magnificent reception. The game was characterized by brilliant fielding and some mighty hard hitting. Knouff pitched his first game in St. Louis, and outside of a little wildness, pitched an excellent came. He was splendidly supported by Bushong, whose throwing, however, was not up to his high standard, because of his lack of practice. Snyder caught a beautiful game, and gave Crowell fine support. He caught a half dozen of the champions stealing second. The infield work of Gleason and McKean was very fine. Caruthers, Allen and Welch made fine running catches. Tip O'Neill's hitting was one of the best features of the game, while Foutz, Caruthers. Knouff and McGlone excelled in this respect. The game was interesting throughout, and furnished great sport for the spectators.

BASE BALL DOPE
By the "Little Old Man"
(Elmer E. Bates)

There was a play on the old Cleveland grounds one afternoon in the way back days about which the fans of the early '80s never tire of talking. Never tire of talking about because, perhaps, "Pop" Anson —always the butt of the fans—was the victim —and because, too, slender little Doc Bushong. he of the lithe body, the white hands and the long, tapering fingers, was the hero. In this particular game the pitchers were one armed Hugh Daly and Fred Goldsmith, and the score, when the old White Stockings went to bat in their half of the ninth Inning, was 2 to 1 in Cleveland's favor. Anson began the ninth with a single, and two outs put him on third. Then up came old George Gore, who always bothered Daly. Hugh handed up a couple of wide ones, and then "Doc" came to the rescue.

Bushong began his share of the play by slamming the ball down to Mike Muldoon at third again and again, in an apparent effort to catch Anson. In the meantime Doc had wigwagged to Tom York, out in left field, to come In close to third. Anson didn't see York when the latter sneaked in from left. His eyes were on the plate, behind which little Bushong was crouched. Suddenly "Doc" straightened up and shot the ball in Muldoon's direction, falling down purposely as he made the throw. York was about 10 feet back of third as the ball went whizzing over Muldoon's head. "Pop" dashed for the plate, but ere he got 30 feet up the line the ball had been gathered in by York and sent straight as a rifle shot into Bushong's hands. Anson had no chance to slide; no chance to return to third; no chance to dodge the issue. He simply "walked into" the putout as gracefully as possible, while the crowd roared its appreciation of Bushong's great play.

ROBERT CARUTHERS IS DEAD
Famous Base Ball Player and Umpire Passes Away in Peoria Hospital.

PEORIA, Aug. 5--Robert Caruthers one time famous base ball player, died at the St. Francis hospital here, this morning. Robert L. ("Bobby") Caruthers was in the neighborhood of 47 year of age. He joined the old St. Louis Brown In 1884 at about 20, and became th pitching wonder of the old American association and one of the great pitchers of his day. He helped the Von Der Ahe-Comiskey team to become the famous "Four Tim Winners," sharing the pitching honor, chiefly with the elongated Dave Fouts. Their great catcher was the late lamented Albert J. ("Doc") Bushong. Caruthers death completes the passing of this Illustrious trio, Strangely enough, all three men were of frail build, yet giants at the game. Bushong stood 5-9 and weighed a low as 135; Caruthers was 5-10 and weighed 160, while Foutz reached to a height of 6 feet1 1/2 and weighed not more than 161. Both Foutz and Caruthers were famous sluggers as well as pitchers. Caruthers batted close to the original "Tip" O Nell, the Browns left fielder, who shared batting glories in the old American with such Titans as Pete Browning of Louisville and Dav Orr of the Metropolitans (New York), usually leading them all. The last year Foutz and Caruthers were with the Browns they practically did all the pitching and alternated In right field for "Little" Nicol, having gone back In hitting, was taken out of right. The old line-up of the famous Browns, which Caruthers death or any mention of his name, recalls was: Comlsky, first and captain-manager; Robinson, second; Latham, third; Gleason (Bill), short; O'Neil, left; Curt Welch, center; Hugh Nlcol, right; Caruthers Foutz and other pitchers; Bushong, main catcher.


When the dismemberment of the Browns set in, Foutz, Caruther, and Bushong were sold to Brooklyn. It was this sale that gave Bobby the title of "$15,000 Beauty." The cash consideration was given out as $14,500 and Von Der Ahe got some players to boot. Exactly what sum was allowed for Caruthers, not even he ever knew, at least that's what he said in Omaha when was a Western league umpire a few year ago. Caruthers career had been tragic Bursting Into fame as a mere boy, his stellar days did not last very long. He is supposed to have Inhereited practically a fortune, but If he did, he got through with it about as quickly as he did with being a star pitcher. Th last few years of his life were marked by deep sorrow, culminating In the death at Des Moines about three year ago of his 17-year-old son. He never survived the shock. It is said, its affect only served to tighten the hold any misfortune had on him

.....There were some of the old boys who stood as conspicuously for their gentlemanliness as any today and one of these was the late Dr. Albert J. Bushong, the great little catcher for Comiskey's old St. Louis Browns. Bushong was quiet and cultured and did not oven swear. Frank Bandle, county register of deeds, who was some catcher himself in the days gone by, relates an interesting little anecedote that shows Bushong's character. They were catching for opposing teams. Bandle had hit safely and stole second and third, Bushong attempting in both instances to catch him. As Handle slid safely under the throw at third, Bushong stood for a second and looked at him. and remarked in his quiet way. "Bandle, dog-gone you, you'd steal from the devil." "And that was so near to cursing for Al Bushong" said Bandle, "that it occasioned loud and general comment from all who heard it."
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1913-03-23/ed-1/seq-53/

On July 4 1889 in the second game of a doubleheader in St. Louis, Bushong injured his arm and played in only two more games during the regular season. The injury marked the beginning of the end of his career in baseball. Albert John Bushong D.D.S. 1856 - 1908, better known as "Doc Bushong" was one of the most famous catchers of the 19th century. He is considered by many to have played a major role in the final transformation of the catcher's mitt. Given the fact that he was an accredited dentist from early 1882, and he played baseball professionally for several years before graduation and about eight after, most people recognize he was highly motivated to protect his hands and save them for his dental profession.

But also as a beloved personality to many baseball fans and Bushong researchers, it should be noted, that Doc Bushong was involved in a questionable event, that some have labeled a scandal, one researcher calling it "a big scandal" and "the reason he left baseball". This article will examine the event and try to illustrate a little about Doc's character.

BUSHONG LINEAGE: John Albert Bushong/Charles Augustus Bushong and Margaret Moore/ Andrew Bushong and Sarah Steinmetz/ Jacob Bushong and Anna Elizabeth Rutter/ Hans Philip and Anna Eva Hergard/ Hans and Barbara Bushong.

First of all, what happened?

In November, following the 1889 World Series (it wasn't yet called the World Series), the incident occurred. After Doc's Brooklyn Bridegrooms team's, three game to six series defeat at the hands of the New York Giants, a telegram from Bushong to New York Giants catcher Jocko Milligan was revealed. This is the telegram that cause the incident....

"To John Milligan, Catcher St. Louis Base Ball Club: Brooklyn, Oct. 19.

Friend Jack: Hope you will answer the telegram I sent you, which was that I'll give $200 for your share in our agreement. It will be a personal favor to me if you will, and besides will be a sure thing for you and yet give me a chance to make a little. Don't lose your chance as you did with Tucker. Reply instantly at my expense.
A. J. Bushong"

Doc's telegram involved a scheme with a $400 prize to be given to the individual winners of the series. The prize was an unofficial prize and had been offered by a chewing gum firm. Doc's idea was PRIZE-SHARING, where, before the actual games, they were to agree, whoever was the winner would split the prize with the loser. Prize-sharing was common in the day, and in numerous sports. It had been around in baseball for over a decade.

But Doc's telegram was accidentally opened by Milligan's manager, who gave it to the American Association, and in their November meeting, the telegram was used unsuccessfully by a competing team to try and stir up anything to prevent the Bridegrooms from departing the American Association to join the National League. The newspaper, The Sun (New York) reported the business of the entire meeting, November 16, 1889, including the telegram. That was the end of the incident, though Doc was embarrassed over the affair, nothing else was said or printed about the matter. The Bridegrooms joined the National League, and with them went their prized catcher, Doc Bushong.

Doc continued playing and in the 1890 season, he helped his team win the pennant. But on July 4 1889, in the second game of a doubleheader in St. Louis, Bushong injured his arm and played in only two more games during the regular season. He never fully recovered from the injury, which marked the beginning of the end of his baseball career. In 1891, Doc retired from baseball, in good standing and pursued dentistry full time, he had played baseball, pro and semi-pro for fifteen years.

After Doc left baseball, he was able to work full-time as a dentist. He was a dentist through and through, in fact, much of the family were dentists, his younger brothers, his sons, and at least one nephew, who, as adults, were dentist. Albert John Bushong graduated from Dentistry school in early 1882, receiving his D.D.S., as of then he could practice dentistry, which he did, on and off, during most of his years as a pro-baseball player, just not full time. In 1891, at the age of 33, Doc began practicing dentistry full-time at a large dental parlor in Hoboken, New Jersey, along with his two younger brothers. Eventually he became manager of the establishment. Also while working in Hoboken, he began and, according to baseball historian William Rankin, "built up a large and flourishing practice," at his home in south Brooklyn, 442 Ninth Street. Eventually all three of his surviving sons, as well as a nephew, also became Brooklyn dentists and several worked at the Bushong family business, which was in operation as late as 1942. On August 19, 1908, Albert John Bushong died of cancer at his home, 442 Ninth Street, Brooklyn, at the age of 51 and was buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York (Find a Grave memorial #36563033). Doc's home on Ninth St. is still there and has become a bakery.

All throughout Doc Bushong's baseball career, he was a highly respected player, by owners, other players, and baseball fans. This says a lot about his catching ability, as his batting statistics are not that inspiring, to say the least... his Batting average was just .214, he only had 13 career Home runs, and his Runs batted in (RBI) only totaled 184. So as an offensive player, he didn't contribute that much, leaving his catching and less tangible, his intellect and personality as his main assets. But reading the papers of the day, the sports writers loved him as did his public. Doc was considered one of the smartest men playing baseball and was an asset to every team he played on. The newspapers and fans were still talking about him years later. Here's an article that illustrates a little of Doc's style of baseball, written in 1908, a few months after his death and probably 20 years after the event occurred...

BASE BALL DOPE
By the "Little Old Man"
(Elmer E. Bates)

There was a play on the old Cleveland grounds one afternoon in the way back days about which the fans of the early '80s never tire of talking. Never tire of talking about because, perhaps, "Pop" Anson —always the butt of the fans—was the victim —and because, too, slender little Doc Bushong, he of the lithe body, the white hands and the long, tapering fingers, was the hero. In this particular game the pitchers were one armed Hugh Daly and Fred Goldsmith, and the score, when the old White Stockings went to bat in their half of the ninth Inning, was 2 to 1 in Cleveland's favor. Anson began the ninth with a single, and two outs put him on third. Then up came old George Gore, who always bothered Daly. Hugh handed up a couple of wide ones, and then "Doc" came to the rescue.

Bushong began his share of the play by slamming the ball down to Mike Muldoon at third again and again, in an apparent effort to catch Anson. In the meantime Doc had wigwagged to Tom York, out in left field, to come in close to third. Anson didn't see York when the latter sneaked in from left. His eyes were on the plate, behind which little Bushong was crouched. Suddenly "Doc" straightened up and shot the ball in Muldoon's direction, falling down purposely as he made the throw. York was about 10 feet back of third as the ball went whizzing over Muldoon's head. "Pop" dashed for the plate, but ere he got 30 feet up the line the ball had been gathered in by York and sent straight as a rifle shot into Bushong's hands. Anson had no chance to slide; no chance to return to third; no chance to dodge the issue. He simply "walked into" the putout as gracefully as possible, while the crowd roared its appreciation of Bushong's great play.

Doc was also considered a gentleman, here's a 1913 newspaper article about him written five years after his death and decades after he retired from baseball...

ANOTHER FOR THE CHAMPIONS
St. Louis, Sept. 18 --Cleveland again gave the champions a hard fight and only lost the game after a great struggle. The champions were given a rousing reception, fully 8,000 people being present. It was the first time since June 30 that Bushong has caught at home and the veteran catcher was given a magnificent reception. The game was characterized by brilliant fielding and some mighty hard hitting. Knouff pitched his first game in St. Louis, and outside of a little wildness, pitched an excellent came. He was splendidly supported by Bushong, whose throwing, however, was not up to his high standard, because of his lack of practice. Snyder caught a beautiful game, and gave Crowell fine support. He caught a half dozen of the champions stealing second. The infield work of Gleason and McKean was very fine. Caruthers, Allen and Welch made fine running catches. Tip O'Neill's hitting was one of the best features of the game, while Foutz, Caruthers. Knouff and McGlone excelled in this respect. The game was interesting throughout, and furnished great sport for the spectators.

The sun., November 16, 1889, Page 4, Image 4
About The sun. (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916

After the routine business the Hon. John J.O'Neil, Mr. Von der Abe's legal adviser, explained the argument of the "combine" In the following manner, as he walked nervously up and down the carpet:
"You gentlemen are probably aware of the statements floating around the corridors to the effect that a combine had been formed against the Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs. I wish to contradict these statements, and the men in this room will bear me out. There has been no combine having for Its object any injury to Brooklyn or Cincinnati. We have known for some months that the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs had intended forsaking the Association. Realizing that we had to deal with a conspiracy, we selected a man in Mr. Phelps for President whom we knew to be above suspicion and who would not be Influenced, by a financial consideration. We knew he did, not have a dollar invested in the Louisville Club. We believed he would preserve the Association from disintegration against some who were conspirators in It. We believed that the Brooklyn Club resorted to dishonorable means, such, as indirect bribery and tampering with the club, in order to get the Association Championship."Telegrams, were sent by A. J. Bushong, a Brooklyn catcher, to John Milligan of the St. Louis Club of a very compromising nature. These telegrams were the result of an agreement. as near can be learned, made previously between Milligan and Bushong to the effect that Bushong agreed to give Milligan one-half of the money he received in case the Brooklyn team won If Milligan would do the same with him. At this time the Brooklyn team was four games ahead." One of the telegrams was produced by Mr. O'Neill. It read follows:

"To John Milligan, Catcher St. Louis Base Ball Club: Brooklyn, Oct. 19.

Friend Jack: Hope you will answer the telegram I sent you, which was that I'll give $200 for your share in our agreement. It will be a personal favor to me if you will, and besides will be a sure thing for you and yet give me a chance to make a little. Don't lose your chance as you did with Tucker. Reply instantly at my expense. A. J. Bushong"

Mr. O'Neil closed his talk by saying that it was the intention of the Association to hew close to the line in the future, no matter where the chips fell, to play honest ball, and make the game purely an athletic test between men and man. Mr. Von der Ahe stated that the dispatch to Milligan was opened by him as he thought John might be sick, and he was given permission to open any letter that he thought was of any importance "When I read the dispatch." continued Mr. Von der Ahe. "T was thunderstruck. When I saw Milligan and asked him to explain matters, he said that the agreement, which has already been read here, was true In every respect, but be contended that he didn't mean anything wrong" A recess was then taken until 2:30 o'clock. Upon reassembling Mr. Barnle was added to the Finance Committee. This committee was empowered to receive applications and approve them. Their decision will be final. Messrs. Phelps. Whittaker. and Barnie were appointed a committee to revise tho constitution. The next meeting of the Association will be held In Columbus In December. The meeting was adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock, Mr. Barnie said:

"I have no reply to make to any statement made by the St Louis club or its alleged legal representative. The press and the public will readily recognize and appreciate the animus which prompts any statements made by the ex-champion club of the American Association against the Brooklyn Club."

Noted Baseball Player Dead

Albert J. Bushong, a noted catcher of the old St. Louis Browns baseball team and later a member of the Brooklyn team, is dead at his home, 442 Ninth Street, Brooklyn. At the time that Bushong came to the Brooklyn team which was late in the eighties, Charles H. Byrne, then President of the Brooklyn Club, obtained the release of "Al" Foutz and "Bobby" Caruthers, paying the St. Louis Browns $19,000 for the trio. Bushong was born in Philadelphia fifty-two years ago. Since his retirement from baseball in 1900 he had been a dentist. Nineteenth Century Stars (2012 Edition) (Paperback)
by Joseph Overfield, L. Robert Davids

Bushong had obtained a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Pennsylvania in early 1882. Once he retired from baseball in 1891, he began to practice dentistry full time at a large dental house in Hoboken, NJ, where two of his brothers also worked. Eventually he became manager of the establishment. Simultaneously, in south Brooklyn, he "built up a large and flourishing practice," according to baseball historian William Rankin. Three of his sons also became Brooklyn dentists.

Major League Baseball Player. Known as "Doc", owing to his having received a degree in Dentistry from the University of Pennsylvania, his Major League debut came at age 19 with the Brooklyn Atlantics. His 12 year career as one of the game's leading catchers included stints with the Philadelphia Athletics (1876), Cleveland Blues (1883 to 1884), St. Louis Browns (1885 to 1887) and Brooklyn Bridegrooms (1888 to 1890). He played in 5 World Series championships and was the first player to catch at least 100 games in a season. In his first World Series with St. Louis in 1885, he was at bat when the championship winning run came home on a passed ball. For the win, the Browns' owner rewarded his players with having a number of American towns renamed for them and the small town of Weeks, Kansas became Bushong, the name it retains to this day. He is also one of two players (the other being Joe Gunson) generally credited with inventing the catcher's mitt. Prior to 1875, catchers played barehanded, resulting in many painful injuries. Although some players had taken to wearing thick work gloves with the fingers cut out, according to a 1915 New York Times article, Doc "was very careful about his fingers, as he intended practicing dentistry after his days as a ballplayer were over. He wore the largest glove he could find, and had added pads until it looked like a pillow. Out of Bushong's idea grew the idea of the mitt." The National Baseball Hall of Fame does not support this claim as unequivocally as the New York Times, but agrees that Bushong can certainly be credited in the evolution of the catcher's mitt. He retired in 1890 and became a full-time dentist until his death at age 50. (bio by: TomDuse)

Rev, A. A. J. Bushong,
[Special to the Times-Dispatch.]

STASBURG, VA., November 30.1907
Rev. A. A. J. Bushong died last midnight at his residence here. His death was due to the infirmities of age, being seventy-five years old. Rev. Mr. Bushong entered the Lutheran ministry in 1860. and served these congregations: Big Lick (now Roanoke, Va.); Mt. Tabor, Augusta county, Va.; and Woodstock, Va. He served the latter congregation for twenty-one years, giving up active work in October, 1901. He was a native of Augustus county.

Surviving hlm are these children: Miss Lula Bushong, B. M. and C. W. Bushong. He also leaves two brothers, Rev. Thomas Bushong, of Piqua, O., and Isaac Bushong. of Culpeper, Va., and two sisters, Mrs. Kate Hedrick and Mrs. Bettie Cullen, both of Staunton. The body wlll be buried tomorrow at Woodstock.

Catharin Bushong F 10y Virginia. As many know, most of the time, he was referred to as A. A. J. Bushong, but his full name was ALEXANDER ANDREW JACKSON BUSHONG and this can be determined from these sources:

1. 1871: daughter, Lutheranna's birth record he is ALEX

2. From Bushong Bulletin Vol 1 no 3. pg 18
the Henry Bushong Family Bible
Births: ANDREW JACKSON BUSHONG Oct 2 1832

3. 1869: son, Bane's birth record, he is called ANDREW

4. 1850: census he is called JACKSON

So we have Alex Andrew Jackson Bushong.... but, Alex was probably a nick
name for ALEXANDER because, "Alex Andrew" sounds too much like
"Alexander", so for the two names to stand individually, it makes sense
that his full name was Alexander AndrewJackson Bushong. The Washington Herald.,

Pleasant Grove Cemetery
(Former Pleasant Grove Methodist Church)

Located on 789, about 200 feet off 612 (about 1 mile
east of Verona) on the left side of the road in a grove
of trees, just before the 1st house which stands about
where the church stood.
I was told that the cemetery which is about 100 X 100
originally had a fence down the middle, with white persons
being buried on the South side and black persons on the
North side. This is logical, since there were many black
members of Methodist churches prior to the Civil War. It is
not in bad shape, but not the best shape either. It could
stand cleaning and hauling.

"In the first two encounters the fourteen fought one to five of the enemy. We captured all of the prisoners, captured one-third of the enemy with their horses, killed and shot up one-third, and the remaining third was straggling back to Winchester with their dead and wounded.

We had one horse killed in the encounter at the toll gate and one man mortally wounded in the first encounter, George Bushong, a mere boy who had not reached his seventeeth year, young in years but brave, and he fought with the nerve of a Commanche until he went down. We buried him in the family cemetery with honors of war on the following Wednesday evening and planted the Stars and Bars by his grave."

Doris George is a history buff, and a very proficient family history researcher and genealogist. She also enjoys looking for and acquiring antiques and family heirlooms. Doris was born in the Readus section of Shenandoah County, Virginia, approximately four miles West of Woodstock, Virginia. Her parents were William Ford Pifer Sr., and Gladys Coffman. Her paternal grandparents were Marion Pifer, and Pearl Ritenour. Her great grandparents were John W. Pifer and Mary Bushong, and her great-great grandparents were Levi Pifer and Elizabeth Keller. Her great grandmother Mary Bushong was the daughter of Captain John Bushong, who was a member of the 7th Virginia Regiment, of the Confederate Southern Army, and was a recorder of the muster roll. Five generations resided on the old HAUN-BUSHONG homestead Northwest of Woodstock, on Road No. 600, before Doris's grandparents Marion and Pearl Pifer sold it, in the 1940's. This old plantation echo's tales of the Civil War, and the remains of the Elders are at rest in the family burial ground on the land.

Abraham Bushong was born on 18 March 1835 in Virginia. He and Adelaide Virginia Taylor were married on 22 May 1864 in Norborne Parish, Martinsburg, Berkeley, West Virginia.

LIBERTY HALL VOLUNTEERS, COMPANY "I" , 4TH VA INFANTRY

This Company was organized at Washington College early in the
month of April 1861. It took its name from a similar organization
formed at old Liberty Hall Academy during the War of American
Independence, which marched under William Graham Rector of that
Institution, to Rockfish Gap to meet the British under Tarleton. It
was composed almost exclusively of those then connected with the
College and recent graduates, more than one-half of whom were
professors of religion and about one-fourth candidates for the
ministry.
After repeated applications to be allowed to join the troops then
moving to the field from every part of the State and of the South, it
received marching orders Sabbath evening - May 20, 1861. Several days
were spent in necessary preparation, and on the morning of the 8th of
June, it was mustered on the College campus and the following roll was
called:

Captain, James J. White
1st Lieutenant, John N. Lyle
2nd Lieutenant, Jospeh L. Sherrard
1st Sergeant, Wm.A. Anderson; 2nd Sergeant, D.E. Ruff;
3rd Sergeant, E.A. Mitchell; 4th Sergeant, Chas. W. Bell;

"BUSHONG - In Mercer Co., Mo., Feb. 25, Jacob Bushong, aged 68 years and 22 days. Deceased was born in Columbiana Co., Ohio; emigrated to Western Ohio in 1851; to Indiana in 1856; located at Brimfield, Noble Co., in 1861, where he united with the church and has ever lived in the full hope of a glorious immortality. In 1876 he moved to Missouri, where he lived until his death, respected and loved by all who knew him. Last October, while alighting from a conveyance, he crushed both bones in his left leg. From this he suffered intensely, but was miraculously restored to his family, having his leg amputated Dec. 9. His rapid recovery from this fearful ordeal was a matter of great rejoicing to his family and friends. He has long been troubled with heart disease, which again confined him to his bed. He bore his affliction with Christian fortitude, until Feb. 25, at l P.M. when surrounded by his family and friends, he passed peacefully away. B. F. Bushong."
