Notwithstanding the flattering offers of many professional base-ball teams for his services, Stagg, the great pitcher of Yale College, has finally decided to to play with the Bergen Point Athletic Club. On Saturday a delegation from Bergen Point visited the faculty in New Haven. The object of the visit, of course, was to get the consent of the faculty to Stagg's becoming a member of the Bergen Point team. This was readily gained, but Captain Dann at first was much opposed to the idea of Stagg's leaving the team. Yale's popular and plucky catcher, however, saw that if Stagg became a member of the Bergen Point nine the college would not suffer as much as if he accepted a professional offer, and gracefully consented to the change. Stagg and Dann, without doubt, form one of the strongest amateur batteries that ever appeared on the diamond, and by securing the former Bergen Point, having won a game from the Nassaus, has an almost sure thing in the race for the amateur championship.-Globe.
