Text | The Mutuals have organized for the campaign in tiptop style, and are in a flourishing condition. They have $15,000 in their club treasury, have twelve picked professional players from which to select their nine, each of whom will not only become a regular salary to be paid whether games are played or not, but every man of the nine who is injured in the service of the club will be properly cared for at the club expense. All the gate receipts are to go into the club treasury, and therefrom [sic] it will be a matter of indifference to the players whether third games are played or not. ... The headquarters of the club is at Wildey’s splendid saloon over the Olympic Theatre, and the club will probably play on the Tremont grounds, which are to be placed in fine condition for use this season. |
