One of the most interesting and exciting matches of the season was a “fusion” game of base ball, made up from nine members of the Athletic Club and also from the Olympic. Particularly bad feeling never was entertained by these two respectably standing clubs, one toward the other, although a short time ago some trivial thing transpired which slightly wounded the sensibility of two or three individuals of the above-named clubs. In order to allay anything which might possibly terminate in a permanent feud, the gentlemen of these two clubs concluded to play a game, the sides arranged against each other to be composed of an equal division of members of each organization. The match came off on Thanksgiving day, on their grounds at Camac’s Woods.
