| Text | We would suggest to clubs, upon whose grounds matches are played during the season, the propriety of providing a small table and a few chairs for the accommodation of the press. We have frequently found all the best places for seeing a match monopolized by members of the playing club, while we have been compelled to do our reporting on the back of some kindly-disposed gentleman on the outside circle. The Eckfords, Excelsior, and a few other clubs we might name, manage business better; and all ought to follow their example. New York Sunday Mercury May 20, 1860 [Excelsior vs. Charter Oak 5/17/1860] We are obliged to confine our remarks on the play of the game and our reference to particular details almost entirely to the first innings, for afterwards the crowd encroached so much on the ground occupied by the scorers that we were unable to see the game, except by occasional glances. The accommodations for the press were very meager and insufficient, and we missed the efficient services of Captain Shaurman, who usually has charge of the ground on these occasions.
