| Text | An adjourned meeting of the Pennsylvania Baseball Association was held at 607 Sansom street, Philadelphia, May 21, when representatives of the Athletic, Philadelphia, Defiance, Hartville and Harper Clubs of that city and the Easton Club of Easton were present, and effected a permanent organization. E. Hicks Hayhurt was elected president; C. C. Wait, vice-president; E. R. Gardiner, secretary; and Thomas Slater, treasurer. It was agreed that each club pay $5 upon entering the Association, to defray general expenses. The contest for the championship of the State is to begin May 26 and end Oct. 1, each club playing every other club six games, and an expensive silk flag will be awarded the winning team. Mahn’s ball was adopted as the one to be used in all championship contests. The Athletics and Defiances will open the championship contests on May 26. New York Clipper May 31, 1879 The Pennsylvania Association held an adjourned meeting on the evening of May 28 in Philadelphia, when it was agreed that no club be eligible for membership in the Association unless it has inclosed grounds or shall secure the same by June 9. This resolution excludes from the record the Philadelphia-Harper game of May 26, unless the Harper team obtains inclosed grounds by June 9, in which case it will be counted.
