| Text | A syndicate has purchased a site suitable for a ball ground at East New York which they propose to lease to the players’ league club on good security for next season. The syndicate includes Colonel McAlpine and Edward Talcott, who are incorporators in the New York Limited Base Ball Club. Mr. George Chauncey, of the old Excelsior club, is the real estate agent through which the transfers have been made. The price is said to be $88,000, secured by bond and mortgage on the purchased tract. Two streets run through the property on the map, and if cut through would spoilt for base ball purposes. The streets in question are Belmont avenue and Junius street. The Ridgewood Land and Improvement Company is the title of the syndicate. Mr. Byrne had the option of the property two years ago, but declined it on account of the streets being likely to be opened through it. |
