Text	The march of General Sherman through the Southern States was fraught with no more disorganizing elements to the Southern army than the march of the “Red Stockings” through the base ball districts of the East demoralized the camps here. … Reconstruction is the word now. … The first club to feel the necessity was the Mutuals of New York, though the act was not the result of foresight, but the exigency of the hour. … The training of the players, while not so rigid as the one pursued by the Harvard University crew, is nevertheless a complete one. The Atlantic Club of Brooklyn, have also an eye to the training of their men. A first-class organization in thee days of ball playing can not be sustained by men dividing their time between business and pleasure. To play ball for pleasure is no longer a part for a man holding a prominent position in a prominent club., quoting Wilkes' Spirit of the Times
