+ At the tine the Mutual and Athletic Clubs

gentleman OF this city prominent Us base

League with care. and embodied his views In a
letter, which the popular appetite for political
news would not at that time allow THE TR1B-
uNE to find room for. It is now given below
with the remark that the managers Of League
clubs will do well to consider it, aud be pre-

The first strong club gathered in Chicago was
based on Lex as pitcher In 1869. After numer-
GUS changes it was constituted as follows, and
beaten BY Harry Wright's Red-Stocling team:
Lex, p; Lennon, G.; John Stearns, b.; Ken
nedy, Q b.; Tom Foley, 8 b.; Woody Stearns,
s. g.; Oberlander, f.; Treacy: G. f.; Goodrich,

the business.
The first professional nine ever gathered in
this city was Ia 1S70. It consisted Of Crarer,
