An excellent suggestion was offered to the managers of the Athletic Club in last Sunday’s Republic, in regard to organizing a strong amateur nine any of whom can be used in case of emergency. We hope this will be acted upon as Philadelphia always has a surplus of players, and there is no reason why the professional nine of our city should suffer want in this respect, with so much abundance at hand. There are several first-class players who do not care to devote their time to base ball as a profession, but who could be called upon at any moment in case of emergency.
