Sacramento Base Ball Club.โ A Base Ball Club under the above name, to be conducted under the rules of the New York Clubs, recently adopted, was organized in this city last evening by a number of our young men. The following
is a list of the officers elected : President, Chas. T. Leonard ; Vise President, W. H. Lee ; Secretary, John E. Isaac ; Treasurer, E. B. Mott. We hope that other Clubs of the same description will be organized, so that there may be some competition. The exercise attendant on the fame is sufficient to commend it to the favorable notice of all our young men.
