President Spalding, of the Chicago Ball Club, spent most of last Wednesday in signing the players of the Chicago team for the season of 1884. He got through the lest very comfortably until he came to Goldsmith, who absolutely refused to put his name to a contract, saying the he was not satisfied with his treatment by Captain Anson, and would not play with Chicago next year. He acknowledged that he had not pitched up to his usual standard this year, and said it was because his heart was not in the work. Most of his salary, he said, had been used up in fines for the last three years, and he found it impossible to get along with Anson.
