Text | The classic locality known as , Hoboken, is this season to be used exclusively by the amateur clubs which have their grounds for the season. Last season crowds of roughs used to gather there every evening and annoy the regular ball players so much that finally the Hoboken authorities interfered and put a stop to ball playing except by clubs having special permission from the city authorities, Mr. Perry acting as their agent. Already the south field has been engaged for the season by the Knickerbocker, Eagle and Social Clubs, and no other clubs will be permitted to use the field. On the north field the Gothams will play, as also the Columbia College Club, leaving two days a week for another regular organization. The western field has been set apart for the Saturday games of the newspaper nines, and these are all the clubs which will play on the Elysian fields this season. |
