[from a letter from George Wright] The Beacon Club, an amateur organization composed mostly of college graduates who are engaged in business in the city, and of which I am a member and will play with, go to Worcester to play the opening game with the Worcester Club. I will play short, and my brother Sam will play third. I will become a regular member of the Longwood C. C. No more professional cricketer for me. This club will return to their old field at Longwood, and not play at Beacon Park. They expect to place a strong eleven in the field. They have their annual meeting at the Parker House to-morrow evening, after which they have a supper. New York Clipper April 8, 1882

We speak by the card when we state that George Wright will not be the regular short-stop of the Providence Club this season. He may play in one or two games during the Summer, but the demands of his business prevent him from making any engagement for the campaign. New York Clipper April 8, 1882
