| Text | [from the Washington correspondent] A point in connection with the Jersey City Club has been brought to my attention. A well-known New Yorker, who takes considerable interest in the National game, and especially in the success of the New York League Club, tells me that Mr. John B. Day has much at stake in maintaining a good club in Jersey. It is evident, says my informant, that the New Yorks will have to give up the Polo Grounds very soon, perhaps before the present season terminates. Mr. Day has made every effort to secure grounds elsewhere, without success, as it is impossible to secure sufficient territory within the city limit for love or money. Mr. Day realizes this fact, and therefore he has, at a large outlay, established a good team in jersey City, and is slowly but surely loading the New Yorkers across North ?River to the prospective home of the Giants. The games between Jersey City and Newark have drawn thousands of people across the river, and by the time the New Yorks are ready to locate in Jersey the patrons will have become familiar with the ferry trips. |
