| Text | We hope that Mr. Young did not select the uniforms for the Baltimore Club. If he did his taste in costuming is not equal to Daly’s of the Grand Opera House in New York–for it was notable as the ugliest, perhaps, ever seen on a ball field. In addition to pants which resembled in color the subdued yellow of chamois skin, was a shirt which had for a breast pocket what purported to be the arms of Lord Calvert, and which looked like a soiled spot when the men were in the field. The tout ensemble was not pleasing; and, while in Baltimore they were soothed with such pet names as the “Canaries,” the “Calverts” and the “Lord Baltimores,” outside they were cognomened the “Mustard Trowsers,‘ the “Yellow Legs” and the “Dandelions.” However, as they seemed to repent the error of their costumes as the season advanced, and made some alterations in the same, we will be hereafter dumb. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch, December 1, 1872 the new Philadelphia Club; the reporter for the Philadelphia Dispatch; the benefit of a local rival club Mr. Reed, of the Philadelphia Dispatch, informs us that the newly organized Philadelphia Club is a regular stock company association and not a club organized on the cooperation principle, and adds that–“The Athletic Club should regard the new club with favor as by having a rival institution in the city they will be supplied with a source of exciting local contests well calculated to make up for the deficiency of contestants which is likely to mark the season of 1873. |
