Description

Atlantic (Brooklyn) 21

Newark (Newark) 11

(New York Clipper: The game took place “in the presence of the largest concourse of people ever collected at a ball match in Newark.  The weather was oppressively warm, although a refreshing shower had passed over the city about an hour before the commencement of the game, but all it did was to lay the dust and make the ground good for play [MORE])
