Mr. Henry Chadwick, better and more widely known than any other man connected with base ball in this country, has resigned his position upon the Union to take charge of the base ball column of the Tribune—a position lately made vacant by the death of Mr. William J. Piccot. Mr. Chadwick has been with the paper from which he has just resigned for six years, for the three years previous he was connected with the Eagle, and previous with the City News, now deceased. Since the earliest days of the game he has been known in the foremost ranks, battling for its improvement and moral character. A man taking the advanced grounds he has invariably taken will bring upon himself the ill feeling of those less progressive and disposed to injure the good character of the game for their own personal ends. That Mr. Chadwick has been so fortunate as to win the ill regard of only the worst classes connected with base ball is the best commentary upon his course. How much the progress of the game is due to him will be told hereafter. On severing his long connection with Brooklyn journalism the best wishes for his future success go with him.
