The Minervas held the Junior Championship from 1860 to 1863, when they disbanded, on account of the majority of their players joining a different kind of ball club, viz.: Uncle Sam’s Troops. Now, however, they have re-organized, selected a first rate nine, and, if anything can be gained by hard practice they will get it.–The Athletics have given them a day in each week on their unequaled ground, for practice. Their nine will probably contain the following players, who, it will be seen, constitute a strong team, and not to be easily defeated: Nicholson, Ayers, Thomas, Paul, Fox, Fitzgerald, Newman, Leonard, Culbert.
