[from the Boston correspondent] Winter base ball is something we don't have here. The Quakers put us in the shade in that line. But the sport in Philadelphia's big Fair building has been talked over down here, and now some of our local stars are planning to go into Harry Wright's town and try for themselves what indoor playing is like. Arthur Irwin hatched the scheme. He thought there would be a lot of fun and perhaps a few dollars for nine players who are wintering in this locality to go on to Philadelphia for a couple of games in the Fair building. When Arthur hits on any plan he don't lose any time in working it out, and he has rushed things this time. He has picked his team out and the men have all consented to go.

Mason's team added another game to its unbroken record of victories on Friday, by defeating Arthur Irwin's nine from Boston, by the one-sided score of 25 to 4. The Sporting Life February 20, 1889
