Yesterday afternoon a very amusing, and perhaps the most novel match ever played, took place upon the grounds of the Star Club, South Brooklyn. It being on the plan of a “Donkey Race,” and but for the cold and chilly weather, the affair passed off pleasantly. The conditions of the game were, the nine making the LEAST runs should gain the victory and the player scoring the MOST runs to get the ball. … Each player was numbered, and the runs made by one player was scored to the one on the other nine of the same number. The contest was a well played game, int novelty making it quite activity. Brooklyn Eagle November 16, 1861 [See also BE 11/26/61 and 12/06/61]
