SEVEN “ Well, of course I didn’t. W e va cated the field. Wentf across the road anc! sat on the front steps of the school. About four o’clock it was milking time. Mr. Edwards took his cows home. We said. ‘Shucks! Our game is half over. Let’s finish it.’ So we went across the street again, and finished. “We were reported to the Board of Education. Monday noon, I was eating my lunch down in the base ment (I lived in Springs then and always took lunch to school) and down came Teunis Barns, president of the Board. 'Most Enthusiastic' “ Mr. Bams said ‘Ferris, you boys have a good team here, haven’t you?’ I said ‘Yes, sir, we all like to play and we’re going to play ball somewhere.’ He replied: ‘Then I’m going to see to it that you have a place to play in.’ “ I heard that a meeting was held that night. Mr. Wood, the principal, sweetened up. He was one of the most enthusiastic about getting us a place where we could play without breaking out windowlights. “ The members of that first team, as near as I can recall, were. Art Petereit, catching; Lew Petereit, June Banks. Court Mulford, Sid Fowler, Joe Edgar ‘Hearty’ Ayles, Bill Ross and myself. Fred Ernest and Nelson Skinner umpired. “As I remember, that Amagansett team had George and Jim Eichhorn, Harry Leek, Toby Griffing, Mort King, Clyde Hand, Vernon Kelsey, Howell and Cliff Babcock, Vivian Parsons, Louis Thayer, Joe Zenger, Scotty Eames, Lew Case, and Joe d’Amico’s son. Baseball Fever “ Things happened fast, after the field was opened up. Chris Schenck became very active in setting up schedules. In 1915, Charles R. Smith W A ITIN G FOR AU G. 4.

Tony Monlanaro will present "The Nervous Hare" and other fables at the John Drew Thealer, East Hamp ton al that lime. Monlanaro trained with Marcel Marceau and has ap peared throughout Europe. Mary Northrop Photo helped develop a ‘pro’ team here. That year George Depew of Bridge hampton was catcher; ‘Scurv’ Mar shall was another Bridgehampton player. George (‘Shinny’) Butler, Bill Hand, Roy Smith, were other 1915 players. “W e played many out of town teams (30 games, that first season; we won 18 and lost 12) among them the Quogue Field Club which had players of almost professional status. We played many games with a team of East Hampton summer residents, the Maidstones. Robert W . Wood Jr. was manager of that team. “ I remember Tom Keck, Chris and Everit Herter, and D. B. Buffum especially. Christian Herter came over one day after we’d lost the game by one run; I was feeling bad, he didn’t rejoice over winning. He put his arm over my shoulder and said ‘You pitched a great game, Rabbit,’ and I felt better. “Those boys were good clean players — always fair, always eager to play. One summer we played 20 games with the Maidstones. John Drew “John Drew took the greatest in terest in those ball games. He always came early and stayed in his car right behind the home plate. Quite often he would call in a player at a crucial time and say: ‘Now here’s a $5 bill if you can strike out the next two men.’ He loved to bring out the best in a player. “We had big crowds — hundreds of people at eveiy game. Chris Schenck, John Bartell, Ed Gay, Ben Newins, Dan Grimshaw, Dave Lester from Round Swamp; and my father, W. L. Talmage from Springs, used to attend regularly; they were al ways in the same spot on the side lines. “A few years later at Syracuse I played a good many games in fast company. I was on the college team. A scout saw me; I had a tryout for Syracuse State and they offered a contract. I had planned to teach school. Henry Talmage, a Riverhead cousin, lost his foreman and wanted me to go help him. But I lied about my age and enlisted in the Marines. They found out, and told me to get back on the dirt. So in 1918 I began to do educational work on agricul ture. “But I will always remember that first game with Amagansett on what is now the Harriet F. Herrick Play ground. I am proud to have had this little part in its acquirement.” News Reports The Star, in 1914-15, reflected the lively interest in baseball throughout the community.
