association which was the progenitor
of the present National league.
According 10 Mr.. Chadwick, II was not
until 1856 that he made up his mind
that the game Of baseball was likely to
have a grea. future. He went over to
the Elysian fields, Hoboken, N j., one
day to see a match game OF cricket
played. II happened that match game

on tho programme, and Mr., Chadwick
was 80 delighted with It's possibilities
that he then and there resolved that Il
should become the national game Of
America. II seemed to him that this
now game was peculiarly adapted 20
the American temperament and he
made up his mind TO boom II to the ex-
tent of his opportunity.
He Made a Beginning.
With that end In view he went to the
various city editors Of the daily papers
and tried to interest them IN the mat-.
ter, He wanted them to publish res,
ports Of all match games, realizing that
publicity would work TO the new sports.

tors could not be Interested Even when
Mr.. Chadwick offered TO send In re-
ports OF the games free Of charge he
could arouse no enthusiasm. They de-
clared that no one was interested In the
game and that It would only be al
waste Of time and effort
He persevered, however, until the.
New York Times agreed TO print his
copy provided II was condensed TO the
smallest possible limit That WAS in1
1857, and II was thus that Mr.. Chad /
