Text	"Great Match for the Championship. Atlantic vs. Eckford. The Atlantics Victorious" The article notes: "the results of the games this season between the Atlantics and the Excelsiors led them [sic] latter to withdraw entirely from the battle for the championship, which next season will lay between the Eckfords and Atlantics." by Craig Waff, September 2008.

Warning
Comment	The article includes a play-by-account of the game, and unusually detailed box scores, including fielding plays and a five-column "how put out" table.
