Text	The base-ball profession will at the end of this season lose the best-known and most highly-respected of its active members in the person of Mr. A. G. Spalding, Secretary, Manager, and Captain of the Chicagos for two years. His retirement from active duty is the result of a determination formed at the end of last season, and growing out of the increasing needs of his business, which has grown from a small beginning to a size which imperatively demands his attention, as well as that of his brother. Mr. Spalding’s record of five years in Boston and two in Chicago has never been equaled, and probably never will be; and it is not exceeding the truth to say that no ball-player ever had so wide an acquaintance or so deep a respect among all grades and classes of players as has Mr. Spalding.
