| Text | The regular annual meeting of the corporation known as the Chicago Ball Club, a body of emn composed of the backers of the present White Stocking team, was held Friday morning in the office of President Hulbert. Nearly all the stock was represented, and the session was a short one. The main question of interest to outsiders–whether the Chicago Club is going to put a team in the field in 1878–was not disposed of in any way. No vote showing any intention, whether to stop or go on, was taken, and the question still remains an open one. It was found, under the charter of the Club, that some officers would have to be elected to carry on the business of the corporation until the expiration of the contracts which it had out; and accordingly Messrs. J. B. Lyon, W. H. Murray, Philip Wadsworth, W. A. Hulbert, and A. G. Spalding were chosen Directors. This Board subsequently elected W. A. Hulbert President, and A. G. Spalding Secretary. The list of Directors contains but one new name, that of Philip Wadsworth, who has been a fast friend of the game and the Club for a long time. The delegates to the Louisville meeting, preparatory to the formation of the League, will remember to duly credit Mr. Wadsworth with his efforts on that occasion. |
