Text | We are glad to learn that our national game is becoming popular in Rhode Island. One or two new clubs have recently been organized in Providence, under favorable auspices, and we have no doubt, before the close of the season, that we shall have to record several interesting matches in that locality. ... By-the-way, we learn that the noted catcher of the Putnam Club, of Brooklyn, Mr. Masten, recently joined in with the Providence club on one of their practice-days, and gave them quite an insight into the beauties of the game; so much so, indeed, as to create quite a spirit of emulation among the admirers of the game in that locality–the result being the proposed organization of more clubs. |
