"DEATH OF SAM'L J. FIELD.
Proprietor of the Central House at Sinking Spring - His Career in Earlier Life as a Base Ball Player and Manager - Only Able to Partake of Liquid Nourishment for Some Months.
Samuel J. Field, proprietor of the Central House, Sinking Spring, died at 6:15 a. m. today, aged 56 years. He was ailing 10 months and was confined to his bed six weeks. For six months he was only able to partake of liquid nourishment.
He always enjoyed the very best of health before his present illness. His many friends would have been hardly able to recognize him on his death bed. He had declined so much that he did not weight 100 pounds when he passed away. Mr. Field knowing his end was near, a few weeks ago, gave his family instructions as to his funeral, etc.
Mr. Field was widely known, not only in this city, but all over the State as a lover of athletics. In his younger days he was one of the leading ball players in the country and followers of the old Active team well remember his fast work on the diamond and later his success as a manager of ball teams. Deceased was a son of the late Samuel J. Field, of Phila., where he learned the rudiments of the national sport.
His base ball playing career started in 1865, and for seven successive seasons he was connected with amateur clubs in his native city, always filling the catcher's position. He filled his first engagement away from Phila., when he signed to catch for the Schuylkill club, of this city. That was in the spring of 1871. In 1874 he again played here. He was one of the organizers of the famous Actives. He was one of the leading and best known members of the club.
In 1875 he opened the season with the Centennial Club, of Phila., and on its disbandment he played a few games with the Ludlows, a semi-professional organization of Cincinnati. In the latter part of July he joined the Cincinnati Reds, and caught for "Cherokee" Fisher, who at that time was considered one of the leading and speediest twirlers in the country. He was with the Reds a short time in '76, but rejoined the Reading Actives and finished the season with them.
His active career on the diamond ended in 1877, during which time he caught and played left field for the Buffalo Club. He was behind the bat in the inaugural contest of the Bisons. Later he became a manager, and for several seasons held that position with the old Actives and other strong clubs in this section. He never lost interest in the great sport, and before his illness was a regular attendant at the contests in Reading.
Notwithstanding his age, he did not forget how to play the game, and only two years ago he got back into harness and played with the Sinking Spring Club in several battles. Mr. Field, during his 13 years in the base ball arena, had few equals as an effective and hard working catcher, especially when supporting swift and wild pitching. He was always a favorite with fellow players and spectators. He took an active interest in other sports, and was considered one of the leading Quoit pitchers and pool players in this section.
He was in the hotel business for nearly 30 years. He was first located at 7th and Willow, and later at Minor and Willow, which he sold out to Andrew Boginski, 10 years ago, and purchased the Central House, Sinking Spring, from A. S. Yocum. There he built up a large patronage.
Mr. Field was one of the organizers of the Liberty Fire Company, of Sinking Spring. For five years he was chief engineer of the department of that place, resigning two years ago. He was an active member of the Liberty Fire Company, of this city; the beneficial organization connected with the company, and McLean Post, G. A. R.
During the Civil War deceased served in the navy, being on the Richmond, which was part of the fleet of Admiral Farragut.
Besides his widow, Annie (nee O'Neill), these children remain: David T., Samuel J., jr., Maud D., Georgene E., Neal H., all at home, and a brother, James; these sisters, Maggie, wife of Jesse Emmons; Ella, wife of George W. Price, Phil.; Mrs. Louis Kirpatrick and Emma, of McKeesport.
Mr. Field was of a jovial disposition and had a host of friends. In his younger days he was a member of several secret and social clubs of this city."

"Sam was a professional baseball player. He was a position player for the Cincinnati Red Stockings during the 1876-1876 season. Information provided by Carol Tessein, [email protected]
Berks County has produced a fair number of sports prodigies in its time, including several who have gone on to shine in the professional ranks. But someone had to be first.
For baseball, that pioneer was Reading's Samuel Field, who played for the Cincinnati Red Stockings when the National League was in its infancy.
In 1875, Field played four games with the Red Stockings. He had 14 at-bats and never got a hit.
"Nonetheless, he played on a team in the first historically accepted major league of baseball," said Charles J. Adams III, a Berks County baseball historian.
The brief stay in Cincinnati, however, wasn't Field's first go-round in organized baseball. He spent the better part of 1875 playing for the National Association of Base Ball Players, which included teams such as the Philadelphia Centennials and the Washington Nationals.
During his time with the Philly club, Field recorded one hit in 11 at-bats. After the Centennials folded in midseason, Field shifted to Washington, where he played catcher and went 5-for-16 at the plate.
Washington, as well, didn't finish out the season. That's what brought him to Cincinnati and the young National League.
The following year, Field again played for the Reds, where he caught for "Cherokee" Fisher, who was "considered one of the leading and speediest twirlers in the country," the Reading Eagle reported in Field's obituary in 1904.
Field completed his playing days for the Reading Actives and was involved in baseball's emergence across Berks County, including forming a ballclub in Sinking Spring.
There's some debate among baseball historians, Adams said, as to whether the National Association of Base Ball Players was in fact a major league.
But for Field, having taken a turn at bat in both leagues, he still qualifies as Berks County's first professional ballplayer, Adams said.
Born in Philadelphia, and a Civil War veteran before coming to Reading, Field helped organize the Reading Actives - one of the city's best-run baseball clubs at the time, Adams said.
After his major league play, albeit brief, Field spent the remainder of his life in Berks, playing minor league ball and helping with a number of civic ventures.
Field operated the Central House in Sinking Spring and was a founding member of the Liberty Fire Company in the borough. He organized a club for local Civil War veterans.
Field is buried in Aulenbach's Cemetery. He's buried in uniform - the Navy blues he wore while serving on the USS Richmond during the war."
