Description	The article notes: 'The first Base Ball match came off last Saturday afternoon on the grounds of the Clipper Club, south of the village, between the Clipper Club of this village and the Active Club of West Castleton. The game was witnessed by a large concourse of people from this and other towns. Considerable excitement pervaded at times during the contest, but everything passed off harmonious and with the best of feeling between players and spectators."
