Description

(all-star game for junior clubs – 7 innings)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: “The New York nine played their portion of the eighth innings, and made seven runs, when, in consequence of the unfair play of the Brooklynites who (chiefly through their pitcher and catcher) purposely prolonged the New Yorkers’ in-hand, after the latter had placed themselves ahead, so that darkness came on ere the inning could be finished, and  the score had to be called from the seventh innings, which gave the victory to the Brooklyn players, by one run. / The Brooklyn players were out in full force, each one appearing on the field as the players had previously announced while the New York nine were materially weakened by the absence of Ketchum, of the Unknown, and W. J. Kelly, of the Mystic, their excellent catcher, who was too ill to play.  …  The afternoon was a delightful one, and the sport was witnessed by full two thousand spectators.”)
