| Description | (return game) (NYT: “Nine gentlemen from each of the above clubs played a base ball match during the Summer at Clifton, Staten Island, which was easily won by the St. George’s Nine, who were most hospitably entertained by the Clifton gentlemen. The Clifton Club is the name given to an organization of gentlemen who reside during the Summer months on their property at this delightful resort, and who combine healthful exercise with amusement, some members of the former New-Brighton Cricket Club belonging to them.” The St. George’s Nine, after this return game, “almost outdid the Staten Islanders in the hospitalities attending the first match. A sumptuous entertainment was provided for them in the spacious Club-house of St. George, which was garnished by the most general good feeling on all sides.”) See also New York World, Oct. 19, 1860, noting this game (won 24-7 by Clifton) is a rematch.
