Text	BALL-PLAYERS OFF TO WAR.–But few of the fraternity, in comparison with the number who left in May, 1861, have gone off to war this time in the militia regiments. Of the first nines of the Brooklyn clubs, the Eckford lose Sprague, the Enterprise, Cornwell; the Star, Kelly; the Hamilton, Bergen; Holt, too, the catcher of the Henry Eckford’s, has left. All the clubs have their representatives in the several regiments, especially the Thirteenth Regiment; but the hegira of warlike ball-players is nothing near as great as in 1861, the necessity not being as pressing as it was a year ago, or otherwise the clubs would have suffered considerably in the loss of members through the departure of the State Militia.
