Let me try again. At university we'd call this "revise
and resubmit."

Hmm. Shakier by the minute. The Brooklyn Eagle of
March 30, 1896, has a more exact address for the Manor
House (or one of them) that makes sense with James
Terry's idea for the Eckford's ground:

"The Euchre Club of Greenpoint will give its first
masquerade ball at the Manor House, corner Meeker and
Kingsland avenues, Easter Monday night."

That's about a mile and a quarter north of Broadway
and Rutledge, where we have to place the Satellite
Base Ball Ground.

New hypothesis: the Eckford's Manor House Ground was
either the same as, or nearby to, the Satellite
Cricket Club's ground, and near to, or on the grounds
of, the Manor House at Meeker and Kingsland. The
Satellite Base Ball Ground was a whole different
entity over a mile south in Williamsburg, at Broadway
and Rutledge. The confusion of names led James Terry
(and me) to erroneously conclude that they may have
been the same ground.

(and yes, I mailed Tom Gilbert, too)
