A New York exchange says:--”The old man,” in his dotage, has the gall to say that Mr. Day offered him the position of official scorer on the Polo grounds, and he declined on account of having so much reporting and corresponding to attend to. This is one of the most ridiculous things that the “old man” ever got off, as he hung around Mr. Day's office from last October until the season opened this spring trying to get the official scoring to do. When he found he could not get the League, he put in his “best licks” for the American Association, but again was sadly left. To counteract his great chagrin he now has the audacity to say that he declined the position as official scorer for the League.”--Of course Chadwick is the “old dotard” alluded to.
