Text	That esteemed member of the Atlantic club, P. O’Brien, has voluntarily resigned from active service as a playing member of the club, and, at his own request, has been transferred to the list of retired veterans, like Boerum, Pike, Oliver, etc., etc. The career of Mr. O’Brien as a ball player has been one that should be held up as an example to the juniors of the fraternity to follow. As a manly, conscientious player, one incapable of taking an unfair advantage, or of committing a single action on a ball field in a match not consistent with the most honorable and fair play, P. O’Brien has been without a superior, and his reward is a popularity in the fraternity such as any man ought to be proud of. No man who plays ball commands more of the general respect and regard of the members of the metropolitan clubs, and, in fact, of all others who have known him, than this new retired and honored veteran, of the Atlantic club. We should like to see a few more of the same sort in the fraternity., citing the New York Sunday Mercury
