| Query |
[] Query from Peter Mancuso, 8/6/22 posting to 19CBB: "Apparently the Knickerbockers in addition to playing on some reserved field in Hoboken's Elysian Fields also maintained a more steady presence there with the rental of a room, apparently for exclusive use of the club's members. This taken a step further, begs the question of whether this was a unique relationship limited to the Knickerbockers, or did other clubs also have such an arrangement with the grounds' owners?" [] Is it supposed that the Hoboken "room" served as a primitive clubhouse? Edit with form to add a query |
