Text | The great disadvantage attached to the Ball Clubs–which every year is increasing–is that of procuring grounds. The vacant lots and unfenced fields in the suburban districts and the vicinity of the city are every year becoming in more demand, and the Ball Clubs have to make way for the giant of Time–improvement–and as he makes rapid strikes, are deprived of their grounds. But still, notwithstanding this onward movement–an every day evidence of Brooklyn’s rivaling its neighbor over the water–there are enough ball grounds remaining to accommodate the clubs, as three can easily occupy the same ground, and each practice two days in the week. And with the growth of our city, the more necessary does out-door exercise become, and the advantages of ball playing grows daily apparent. |
