| Description | (NYH: The fields “presented quite an animated appearance, being well covered with ladies and gentlemen to witness this match, … It showed some little boldness of the Empire Club to challenge the Gothams—and we hope that on the return match they will get more than four runs.) (SOT: “This match … resulted in a terrible defeat for the Empires; they are too young a club for the powerful Gothams.”) (NYC: “A large number of lovers of ball play, including many ladies, assembled to witness this match.”) |
