| Text | The old members of the Mutual Club, New York, will meet on the 11th inst., to reorganize on an amateur footing. They will have grounds in Harlem, and will no doubt play several matches during the season, when they intend to revive the old-time habit of three cheers for their opponents, three for the umpire, and invite all hands for a free chowder. Baltimore Evening News May 6, 1873; also All-Day City Item May 9, 1873 A meeting is to be held on May 11th to reorganize the old Mutual Club on the old-fashioned basis of playing the game for the sport that is in it. The old members who are starting the movement include McMahon, H. B. Taylor, Gavegan, Green, etc., headed by Judge Tony Hartman. The club will play on a ground near Harlem. New York Clipper May 10, 1873 To-day the old members of the Mutual Club are to meet to organize the Mutual Club on the old amateur footing of ten years ago. Justice Hartman is at the head of the new movement, and all the old veterans of the club are backing him up heartily in it. They all want to get back to the grand old times when the game was played for the fun it yielded, and the invigorating exercise that it furnished; when, too, each man exerted himself to win for the honor of the club flag, and not for salaries or pools.
