Text | In the fall of 1875 Hulbert engaged Spalding, J. White, McVey and Barnes, the great four, for the Chicagos of 1876. Harry Wright promptly signed Beals for three years to take the place occasioned by the loss of Barnes. At the close of the season of 1875 Tommy went West to visit a relative who was engaged in gold mining in Utah. The ball-tosser make a lucky strike, and before the balmy days of spring had arrived he had accumulated quite a snug little fortune. He notified the Bosons that he would not play any more, and his contract was annulled. Last fall, while Al Spalding was on his way to California, he stopped off and had a talk with Beals the result of which was that Thomas decided to return once more to the diamond. |
