| Text | John F. Morrill, one of the best-known base ball players, will open a sporting goods house at 12 Broomfield street, Boston, on March 1, under the firm name of John F. Morrill & Co. A full line of base ball, tennis and general athletic goods will be handled, and the business will be conducted very much on the same plan as that of Tim Keefe's in New York City. The Sporting Life February 26, 1890 A new base ball headquarters was opened last night with “Honest” John Morrill, Boston's favorite base ball player, and his business partner, Mr. W. R. Burdett, as hosts. Mr. Morrill has now severed forever his connection with professional base ball playing, and has turned his attention to the less exciting practice of fitting out athletes with the articles needed in the field of sports. The new store is at 12 Bromfield street. It is centrally located in th business district, and as the games of the Brotherhood and League clubs are to be displayed it cannot fail to become popular. Morrill has laid in a handsome stock of sporting goods and have ever reason to hope for success in his venture. The Sporting Life March 19, 1890 |
