# 36 for 3 shares to Arthur H Soden. Signed by Soden on back. Signed by Frederick E Long and president NT Apollonio. Dateline Boston 1875. Incorporated 1871. Arthur H. Soden was an American executive in Major League Baseball who was the president/owner of the Boston Beaneaters of the National League. In 1882, Soden served briefly as president of the National League following the death of William Hulbert. When the rival American Association was preparing to expand to 8 teams for the 1883 season, Soden acted to add NL teams in New York City and Philadelphia.

Established on January 20, 1871, the Boston Red Stockings was one of the eight original members of the National League. The team was organized as the Boston Base Ball Club with $15,000 in common stock at $100 a share. Boston won every championship between 1872 and 1875. After the 1875 season the Boston Red Stockings, Chicago White Stockings, New York Mutuals, Hartford Dark Blues, and St. Louis Brown Stockings all left the "National Association" in order to join the newly formed "National League". This caused the "National Association" to fold. In 1875, Boston changed its name to the "Boston Red Caps." That name lasted until 1883 when they became "The Boston Beaneaters." After the Dove brothers bought the team, they were renamed the "Boston Doves" in 1907. In 1909, it changed again to the "Boston Pilgrims". Finally, in 1912 the name was changed to the "Boston Braves" and remained that until 1952 except for years 1936-40, when they where called the "Boston Bees". The team moved to Milwaukee in 1953 to become the "Milwaukee Braves" and finally to Atlanta in 1966 and are now known as the "Atlanta Braves."[scipophily.com]
