| Text | Yesterday a syndicate of prominent business men of Cincinnati began to form, with the avowed purpose of paying the price brought at the judicial sale of the grounds some five weeks ago. They intend to rent the grounds during the balance of the year for miscellaneous sports, and will be prepared next season to go into the best that can be had in the way of professional base-ball. The entire buildings and fences on the grounds, with a three years' lease, can be bought for $1,500. over half of this sum, in sums not less than $100 each, were put up in an hour last evening, and the rest will be forthcoming immediately. Within a day or two it is to be hoped that the permanent purchase will be accomplished. It is the intention to have none but men of undoubted financial standing connected with the new movement. It must succeed. June 16, 1881 The Cincinnati Base-ball Grounds were sold yesterday to a Syndicate of four prominent Cincinnati gentlemen, who paid the Special Master Commissioner Bulla $1,600 in cash for them. This sale carries with it the right of the leasehold, running until May, 1884, and also to the lumber, buildings and fences on the grounds. … The new Syndicate is headed by General John E. Price, owner of Price's Hill, who has always been noted as one of the most enthusiastic base-ball admirers in the city. The other three members of the Syndicate do not with prominence in the transaction, but mean business all the time. During the remainder of the year the grounds will be rented to whoever desire their use from time to time. Next year the Syndicate intend to put a first-class professional team in the field and secure a membership in the most prominent Base-ball Association in this country. During the remainder of the year the grounds can be rented for games of any kind, sports, or other purposes, by addressing a note to the Manager of the Cincinnati Base-Ball Grounds, care of the Enquirer office. |
