Description	(“The game for the silver ball” – 8 innings) (Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: “The nine which represented New York was a weak one in many respects, in consequence of a portion of those who were originally named declining to play. Substitutes were, therefore, placed in the field, rather than disappoint the immense audience (numbering some eight thousand) which had gathered to witness the contest. The ball was won by the Atlantic Club (as they made the most runs), which organization has, for a long period, ranked as the Champion club.”)
