Text	Their [the professional ring] efforts to legislate out of office an old and faithful member of the fraternity; one who had done more to bring the game to its present standard than any other person in the country, although not successful, shows what the purposes of the ring are, and that it is their aim to manage the National Association as they manage a professional nine. Happily in this instance, their intentions were frustrated, and the gentleman is still to hold the position where for so many years he has labored so diligently to foster and perpetuate our noble game. We allude to Mr. Henry Chadwick, the Chairman of the Committee on Rules, one of the most important positions in the National Association. His reappointment by President Bush is an acknowledgment of his former services, and is a fitting rebuke to the “ring” who sought to eject him from that position.
