Date	Thursday, March 3, 1881
Text	This coming Summer will complete a quarter of a century since Mr. Henry Chadwick, the present base ball and cricket editor of the New York Clipper, began reporting for that old established sporting journal, as he commenced writing for the Clipper in August, 1857. the first noteworthy base ball matches he reported for the Clipper were the contests between picked nines of New York and Brooklyn, which were played on the old Fahsi9on Course, Long Island, in 1858. From 1857 to 1867 he was regularly on the Clipper. He then left it to edit the American Chronicle, but returned to the Clipper in 1869, and has been on the paper ever since. A wonderful change was taken place in the playing of base ball since the days of those Fashion Course matches. The best picked nine of that period would not be able to score a single run in a game against the champion professional team of 1881.
