A few days ago several members of the Allegheny Base-Ball Club applied for membership in the Young Men's Christian Association gymnasium [in Pittsburgh] in order to prepare themselves for work the coming season. They were considerably surprised when told today that professionals were not admitted to membership. About forty professional ball-players will leave the city this season. Many were hoping to secure admission to the city's only gymnasium to get into condition for play. The decision caused considerable surprise in base-ball circles.
