Mr. Stevens, the owner of all the Hoboken ball fields, has prohibited match-games from being played on any of the fields, unless with express permission in each case–his object being to put a stop to championship-contests, no more of which are to be allowed at Hoboken. This will lead to every prominent match at baseball either being played on the new cricket ground of the St. George Club or on the new ball field of the Nationals of Jersey City. This is a bad thing for championship games, but a good thing for clubs generally. The enclosed grounds at Brooklyn will also be needed more than before.
