Fisler, of the Camden and Olympic Clubs of Philadelphia–in that city the cricketers’ plan of playing members belonging to other clubs is in vogue–who is now a member of the Eckfords, and we presume he will be their catcher for the season. New York Sunday Mercury July 24, 1864

[Resolute vs. Camden 7/29/1864] Fisler, now of the Eckford Club, played as catcher for the Camden. Brooklyn Eagle August 1, 1864

The Philadelphia ball clubs have this season openly adopted the objectionable system in vogue among cricket clubs, of playing members of other clubs in their regular matches. Thus, for instance, the Athletic club–a member of the National Association–play Reach of the Eckford club in their games with their brother clubs; the Keystone club, also of the National Association, play C. Bomeisler, of the Olympic; the Olympics play Fisler, of the Camden, and now of the Eckford, and T. Bomeisler, of the Eureka, besides other members of the organization. Brooklyn Eagle August 2, 1864
