west of its promising timber.
Boston had won the pennant SO
many successive times that the
public was losing interest in the
outcome; it was a foregone con-
clusion.
In Chicago they thought that
such things should come to an
end. There was no reason why
the pennant shouldn't fly west
ward Mr.. Hubert was not a
player; he was merely an inter-
eSted lover of the game and an
arden Chicagoan. He met Spald-
ing in 1875 and said frankly that
as an Illinoisan Spalding had no
business playing in the Hub city.
Certainly wet get from Spald-
ing's own account that he was,
becoming dissatisfied with the
way the game was being run.
He welcomed the aggressiveness
shown by Hubert, thinking that
it might mean a healthy shake
up.
There was a rule in the Ma
tional Association of Base Ball
Players that no new contract
with a new club could be signed
during a season in full blast.
But Spalding, with others, PROM
ised to follow Hubert to Chicago,
provided he would accept the
presidency of the Chicago Base
Ball Club. "Spalding has sold
Boston," was the cry. But never
did Spalding play better ball than
was his last season in the Hub
city. He himself writes, in his
entertaining "reminiscences: I'VE
rather overdid the thing, for the
Boston nine never lost a game
during 1875 on the home grounds,
and closed the season with rec
ord of seventy-one games won
and eight lost, or a percentage

Hubert went back to Chicago.
He had signed up Barnes, Nc
Vey, White and Spalding of Bos-
ton, Arson and Sutton OF Phila-
delphia. No six men ever had
more anathemas hurled at them
than these. But they did it, so
they thought, to save the game.
Reports spread that these bril-
liant players would be expelled at
the next meeting of the associa-
tion. mo matter what happens
said Hubert, Chicago will make
your salaries safe" Then he
thought TO himself in this wise:

tion does not seem able to check
thea evils which threaten to
swamp the game. Let US form

new rganization-the Ma
tional League of Base Ball Clubs"
Thus did he forestall any possible
action taken by the Association
of Base Ball Players as to the de-
fcction of its members, against
rules.
A constitution was drafted; a
secret meeting was held in Louis
vile, and Cincinnati, Louisville
and St. Louis promised to stand
by Hubert. Then the latter went
east to New York. And there he
invited the eastern clubs to meet
him at his hotel on February 2,
1876. He got them together,
locked them in. and then outlined
to them exactly how the new or
ganization intended cleaning up
the game. He won the entire
crowd. He paid respect to the
east, where base ball was born,
by nominating Morgan G. Bulke-
ley for president But by De-
cember. 1876, he was himself at
the head of affairs. Thus began
the National Leagues career.
Hubert died in Chicago April
10. 1882. And base ball has hon
ored him by erecting monument
over his grave in Graceland
