| Text | It has been settled that Manager Phillips will run a first-class club in the Quaker City next season, backed by a number of influential citizens and supporters of the national game, including the veteran Al Reach. Subscription-papers for the purpose of raising the requisite $5,000 are to be circulated this wee. New York Clipper September 24, 1881 The Athletic club next season will be under the management of Messrs. Mason, Sharsig and Fulmer, who are three of the most ardent admirers and genuine promoters of the game as can be found in this country. These gentlemen will furnish all the capital that will be necessary to run the club, and each player will be paid a salary instead of playing on the commonwealth plan as at present. The present nine will be entirely reconstructed, and several new players now prominent in League clubs will be added. Oakdale Park has been leased for the season, which will commence in April and end in November. The ground is to be plowed up and leveled, a new grand stand to accommodate 1,000 persons will be built and additional shaded stands for spectators will be erected along the side of the field. The gentlemanly managers will leave nothing undone to make the game attractive in this city, and give it its old-time prestige in base-ball by having one of the best clubs in the country. The Item Philadelphia October 2, 1881 H. B. Phillips will act as manager and Al Reach as treasurer of a new club now being organized in Philadelphia, Pa., to play on the ground at Twenty-fourth street and Ridge avenue next season. New York Clipper October 8, 1881 Baseball in Philadelphia is experiencing a revival, and the campaign of 1882 in that city promises to be an exceedingly interesting one. Two first-class clubs are promised, each claiming the name of Athletic, and the rivalry between them will tend to awaken the old-time interest that has been lying dormant for several seasons.
