[from a sketch of Force] In 1874 he was selected to play in the Chicago nine, and he left them to go to the Athletics in 1875. Incidentally this last change was the cause of the origin of the League. It is not worth while to probe old wounds, however, especially in view of the fact that since Force left the St. Louis team in 1876 he has been doing good service for the Buffalo Club.
