| Text | THE KNICKERBOCKER CLUB.–The friends of amateur baseball playing will be pleased to learn that this time-honored organization have secured the same grounds they occupied last season at Hoboken and for two days a week. For nearly thirty years has this club paid rend for ball grounds to the Stevens estate, and when their old field was cut up it became a matter of justice tot hem that the agent of the estate should see that the old club was taken care of even if every other organization had to be without a field. With this object Mr. Shippen has given them two days a week on the grounds foot of Ninth street, Hoboken, and the club are making arrangements to put up a club house on the field on such as plan as to secure a location for their lady friends to visit them on practice as well as match days. The club is in a flourishing condition, has as many members as they desire, a full treasury, and plenty of enthusiasm. We look to the Knickerbocker Club to p reserve a nucleus for that reestablishment of amateur baseball clubs which is bound to come sooner or later. |
