With an abundance of practice, such as could be obtained in friendly games once or twice a week, between the Pastime and Maryland Clubs, there is no reason why Baltimore players should not win numerous laurels during the remainder of the season. The petty jealousies that too often exist among base ball players should not be allowed to interfere with the success of our clubs. Practice is all that is needed, and it can easily be obtained in a match game where each side takes an interest in doing its best. The desire to defeat all visiting clubs should actuate our players, and to that end should they work, regardless of the merits of any individual organization over another in our midst. Baltimore American June 16, 1870

The first of what is intended to be a series of practice games came off on Madison Avenue Grounds on Saturday afternoon between the Maryland and Pastime Base Ball Clubs. Baltimore American June 20, 1870
