Text	The new President of the Athletics, Mr. J. F. Smith, is a millionaire to begin with, and he is a man of brains, of high social position, of the most generous impulses, and of the loftiest integrity. He is an old ball player, and a gentleman for whom we have a high personal respect. It remains to be seen whether the Athletics can appreciate and retain this invaluable accession to their moral, social, pecuniary, and intellectual strength. Anything mean, cowardly indirect, or improper–a repetition of last year’s conduct, for instance–will whock and disgust Mr. Joseph Fraley Smith, and all his immediate friends. Philadelphia City Item April 11, 1868 [J. Fraley Smith appears as director of The Northern Pacific Rail Road, The National Bank Exchange of Philadelphia, incorporator of the National Fire and Marine Insurance Company of Philadelphia, etc.]
