[Illustration: HENRY CHADWICK--"Father of Base Ball."]
Henry Chadwick, the veteran journalist, upon whom the honored sobriquet
of "Father of Base Ball" rests so happily and well, appears in
portraiture, and so well preserved in his physical manhood that his
sixty-three years rest lightly upon his well timed life. Since the age
of thirteen he has resided in Brooklyn, New York, and is an honored member
of the distinguished society of old Brooklynites. He entered upon the
journalistic career in which he has attained eminent distinction in 1856,
his first work finding a ready field on the New York _Times_. In 1857 he
associated himself with the New York _Clipper_, and was identified with
that journal steadily for thirty-one years. After twenty-nine years of
remarkable devotion to the interests of morning journalism in the
metropolis Mr. Chadwick retired in 1886 to accept an editorial position on
the _Outing Magazine_, which, together with his work on the Brooklyn
_Eagle_, keeps his ready pen busy. He is one of the most valued
contributors on _The Sporting Life_ staff, and his work in other journals
has made his name a household word as the "Father of Base Ball." He comes
from a famous family of English birth, his brother, Mr. Edwin Chadwick,
being the noted sanitary philosopher of England. Mr. Chadwick has edited
our League GUIDE since 1880.
