In Chicago IL, Months-old Atlantic Club Claims Championship

Salience Noteworthy
Text

Atlantic 18, Excelsior 16. This "well-played match between the first nines of the Atlantic and Excelsior took place on the 15th ult., for the championship. . . . The victorious club only started this spring . . . . They have now beaten the Excelsiors two out of three games played, which entitles them to the championship." "Base Ball at Chicago," New York Clipper (date omitted; year inferred from scrapbook placement). Facsimile from the Mears Collection provided by Craig Waff, September 2008. Note: So . . . was this construed as the 1859 city crown, just a dyadic rivalry crown, an "until-we-lose-it crown, or what?
