Date	Saturday, June 5, 1880
Text	The Boston Athletic Association formally opened their new grounds on May 25, when a band of music was present, and the sports consisted of archery, lawn-tennis, and a game of baseball, win which the Harvard freshmen defeated a nine made up of the younger members of the Association by a score of 22 to 7 in seven innings. The grounds, which are under the supervision of George Wright, the veteran baseball-player, have been well laid out. A large tract of land has been nicely graded for baseball, another has been arranged for cricket, a good range has been selected for archery, and several level plats have been marked and laid out, with and without sod, for lawn-tennis. A track for pedestrians, and another of cinders for bicycle riding and racing, also form attractive features of the grounds, while ample space has been reserved for football and the usual outdoor sports.
