the local baseball ranks will be afforded
every opportunity of seeing the National
game played as good as any amateur
team can play it. The clubs have organ-
ICED for the season and the Jerseys have
already played a number of games.

lowing schedule:-May 80. Ridgewood;

When the Crescent A. C. of Brooklyn
supported a baseball nine in the Amateur
League several years ago the following
it had among the members was SO slim
that it was finally decided to abandon
the game. A liking for the National
game remained in the club. however, and
so one man said that it would be a good
thing to ave a club baseball champion
ship. The scheme was to get about 100
entries, divide the men into teams, and
haye each team elect its own captain.
: This done. the arrangement of a schedule
ID was simple. The diamond at Bay Ridge
was at the disposal of the teams, and
there was plenty of the enthusiasm which
no one believed existed when the club
supported a crack nine. The players in
the club championship were not cham
pions in the usually accepted sense of
the word. and they knew it. but they had
; fun themselves. with enough left over
for the spectators. The time has come
around for the members of the Crescent
to step up and make their entries for the
baseball championship of 1895. for the sea-
son viii probably open text month. and
I will last until July 4. If all of last years
bail players have not taken to cycling.
there is no reason why the games this
+ year should not be up to their prede-
%cessors. The Crescent is the only club
gliding a championship of this kind. al
Apugh it is the fairest way to treat the
mbers of any club. A man is expected
Sadays, when asked to Join an athletic
lb, to pay his dues, and if he is not
"a first-elass player of at least one sport
he has a small chance indeed of indulg-
ing any desires he has to play. A club
which in some respects resembles the
] Crescent is the South Orange Field Club.
4 Out at Orange baseball is one of the most
, popular games. and in the summertime
pton Saturday afternoons a half dozen dia-
Il nonds are always kept busy. The mem
eoers OF the club vote baseball a big sue

bad. can get a chance to play the game
Z for the fun and health there is in it.
