The Knickerbocker Club.–This veteran amateur organization began their thirty-sixty successive season of ball-play at Hoboken, N.J., on the afternoon of April 23, on the St. George Cricket Club Grounds, foot of West Ninth street, where they found the field in excellent condition for play; and, though the weather was cloudy and not very pleasant, they enjoyed a lively practice game of “one-two-three” for a couple of hours. Owing to the chilly weather, the veterans of the club did non turn out, but the younger members were on hand, led by Kirtland, Goodspeed and Rogers. The club will be able to present a very good amateur nine of young players this season, with Aymar to catch and Marshall to pitch, and they can give very good field support with the force they now have at command. The Knickerbockers will meet for practice every Monday and Friday at 4 P.M. until October. College-players visiting the city are always welcomed by the Knickerbockers.
