"The Newburg boys excel in running bases with bottles of soda-water, sucking
as they run."

To a previous report of player Holder smoking while batting in a game in

1860,this head-scratcher can be added, from a report in the New

York Sunday Mercury, June 29, 1862, of a game between the Hudson River


Club of Newburg, NY, and the Eclipse Club of Kingston:

They won, either because or in spite of such skills, 39-21.
