[Illustration: A. G. MILLS.]
Mr. A. G. Mills was connected with the Chicago Club at the organization
of the National League, and he participated in the legislative work of the
League from 1876 to 1885 when he resigned his position as President, to
which position he was unanimously elected on the death of President
Hulbert. To his efficient services as President and one of the Board of
Directors is the success of the League after the death of its founder
largely due. He was the originator of the National Agreement which has so
firmly bound together the National League and the American Association.
Since he resigned his position as President of the League in 1885, he has
been practically out of Base Ball, although he still takes a deep interest
in the game. He was succeeded by the worthy President, Mr. N. E. Young.
