The Mutuals, after making some preparations to vacate Hoboken for the Lake Lincoln grounds, near Jersey City, have reconsidered the change, and concluded to retain their Hoboken grounds. To render the proposed Lake Lincoln grounds suitable for ball playing, would involve an expenditure of $5,000, and as the Mutual could only obtain a single year’s lease, the project was abandoned. We understand that over $2,000 was subscribed by a few members at an impromptu meeting of the club, and that the requisite amount could have been readily obtained if the owners of the property would have given a lease of a few years’ duration. The Mutuals will, therefore, practice at Hoboken as heretofore, but play all match games upon the Union Ball grounds in Brooklyn, Eastern District.
