| Text | Various assortments of leading players from Brooklyn and Philadelphia vied in both cities in 1862. Philadelphia sent an all-star assortment north in June, where it lost to select nines in Brooklyn's eastern and western districts, but beat an aggregation of Hoboken players. Two select Brooklyn nines headed south and played two all-Philly sides in early July. In October, the Eckfords traveled to Philadelphia for a week of play against individual local clubs, and on October 21 played an "amalgamated nine" of locals, winning 39-8. Sources: various, including overviews at "Philadelphia vs. Brooklyn," Wilkes Spirit, July 12, 1862, and "Base Ball Match," Philadelphia Inquirer, October 22, 1862. Thanks for facsimiles from John Maurath, January 18, 2008, and Gregory Christiano, December 22, 2009. |
