Text | An informal discussion took place in relation to the advisability of procuring a suitable ground for the use of the amateur clubs of this city, and where all championship games could be played. The proprietor of the ground at Fortieth and Aspen streets, West Philadelphia, made a proposition to enclose said ground and put it in perfect order, besides enlarging the field, provided the amateur clubs would select it as the place of playing their matches. The proposition will doubtless be accepted, and the Expert, Geo. M. Roth, Marion, Monroe and Pastime Clubs occupy this ground next season, and being easy of access, this ground will prove a favorite place of resort this year. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury February 18, 1872 The owner of the base ball ground at Fortieth and Aspen streets, we understand, demands the exorbitant rent of $1200 per year for the use of the same, and we fear that the amateur clubs will have to see elsewhere for a suitable ground.
