The reserve idea has struck Boston. There are now fourteen men under engagement, and enough are to be added to start a “college.” “If not, why not?” Boston claims to be the centre of culture and education, and since Chicago has started a base ball “college” the home management will undertake to display its skill in a similar undertaking. Young men who can come well recommended...who think they are cut out for ball players, and will be willing to take a year's undertaking at a nominal salary, are invited to make application to the Boston Base Ball Association. The reserve team will give practice to the regular team during the preliminary season. When the latter is in the West or away, the reserves will play local and State clubs at home. When it is away [sic], the reserves will tour throughout New England. The admission to the games of the reserves will be 25 cents.
