| Text | Other clubs do not profit by [early season tours], and it is just here that they have the advantage over the Atlantic club. The Cincinnati and Chicago clubs, having a full treasury, can send their nines over the country, while with the Atlantics, with an empty treasury, it is an impossibility. There is no club, occupying a similar position in the base ball world, but what is better situated than the Atlantics. Their players make far less in the season than the players of other clubs, as the membership of the club is small and the members are by no means rich, and they are unable to send the nines out to practice. Under these circumstances, the record of the Atlantic nine is very bright, and great credit it due to the individual members of the nine for the firmness in resisting the tempting offers of rival clubs. The members of the club have thoroughly canvassed the subject, and have reached the conclusion that if they can send the nine out, they can safely venture them against any nine in the country. To the end that a sufficient fund may be acquired, a subscription paper has been started in the club among the members, and friends of the club hearing of the proposed arrangement have come forward and requested to be allowed to contribute. It is thought, therefore, that a sufficient amount to start them will be collected, and the end attained.
