| Text | The proposition that the Boston and Athletic clubs play several of their championship games while in England will not be generally entertained. At first it was thought that it would add greatly to the interest of the game there, but a sober second thought convinces that such would not be the case. The English people would have no feeling in our championship matter, and will go to the games to see them as a matter of curiosity and as an American national amusement. Besides this the people in this country will be especially anxious to see these games, and they will be the most lucrative played. The holders of club tickets in this city and Boston have a right to see them, and hence they will be played in this country. The English games will be exhibitions. Philadelphia Sunday Republic March 22, 1874 Knickerbocker games closed to the public The veteran Knickerbockers will open ball-tossing at their private inclosed ground, at Hoboken. This field on Tuesdays and Fridays is used by club members and invited guests, and public having no access to it. The club, however, are always glad to see their friends, but they do not propose to be annoyed by any outside crowds. New York Sunday Mercury March 29, 1874 |
