| Text | Through a letter from the Recording Secretary of the State Association, published in one of the Sunday papers, a few facts in regard to the failure of the certain party to manipulate the delegates to that body have come to light. In appears that this individual, who claims to be the “father” of the game of base ball, endeavored to have a weekly something with which he is connected made the organ of the association, and failing in this, tried to have a person connected with his “organ” elected as Corresponding Secretary. This dodge would work either, so he vents his spleen on the Recording Secretary, Mr. M. J. Kelly, alleging that he did not issue his circular to the delegates soon enough, &c. In the spicy letter above referred to, Mr. Kelly effectually uses up “the person,” exposes his little tricks to the base ball public, and administers a scathing rebuke to him in a way that he will not soon forget. “The person’s” attempt at monopoly was a cool proceeding, even for this season of the year, when we naturally look for events of a cooling nature. |
