Text	The new ground upon which the Olympics, Athletics, and other Clubs will player hereafter, is situated at the junction of Jefferson street and Turner’s lane, near Twenty fifth street, and one square west of Girard College. The Ridge avenue cars will take you to the spot in twenty minutes, from the corner of Ninth and Arch streets. The ground is leased from the city by the Olympics, who underlet it to the friendly rivals, the Athletics, and to other base ball associations. The Olympics contemplate many handsome improvements: a new building, new fences, seats, &c. The ground is now being rolled, preparatory to laying the bases. Should the weather prove favorable, there will be play on Saturday. In the course of the month, it is probable several important matches will be played between the Olympics, Keystones, and Athletics, the proceeds to be devoted to the Sanitary Fair.
