The handsome club-room of the Athletic Base Ball Association, at the northeast corner of Eleventh and Chestnut streets, has reverted back again to the possession of the reorganized “Mysterious Pilgrims.” At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association–an organization entirely distinct, by-the-way, from the Athletic Base Ball Club–it was decided to change their title to that of the Liberal Club, and the latter will shortly take possession of the Price Mansion, on Broad street, above Chestnut. By this move the Athletic Base Ball Club will be compelled to seek fresh headquarters, and will, for the present, hold their meetings at No. 1108 Samson street. The club-room of the Athletics, at Eleventh and Chestnut streets, was first opened to the public on the 25 th of December, 1873, and during the two years that have since elapsed, it has been a popular place of resort of the ball-playing fraternity.
