"The Newburg boys excel in running bases with bottles of soda-water, sucking
as they run."

To a previous report of player Holder smoking while batting (see 1860.89) in a game in 1860,this head-scratcher can be added, from a report in the New York Sunday Mercury, June 29, 1862, of a game between the Hudson River Club of Newburg, NY, and the Eclipse Club of Kingston.

They won, either because or in spite of such skills, 39-21.
