Description

(return match – TIE)

(NYT: “It is rather singular that the Gothams have tied in four games this season. … The game was played in the presence of a large number of persons, with the most perfect good temper.”)

(NYC: “An exceedingly well played game was had between these clubs …, the result being another tie game, it being the 4th of the kind the Gothams have had this season, and the second with the Mutuals. … It was first proposed that the 10th innings should be played, but at the earnest request of the scorer of the Mutuals, who had one hundred dollars bet on the result, it was allowed to remain a tie. Section 30 of the rules appears to be a dead letter, for it is entirely ignored by some clubs. The game was one of the most interesting of the season, and it was marked by such thorough good humor and gentlemanly conduct that it was really a pleasure to witness it.”)
