The muffs attached to the Union Club of Morrisania and the muffs of the Eagle Club of this city had a very enjoyable match at Morrisania on Thursday last. A lady was chosen to act as umpire, and she acquitted herself in a manner which evinced a thorough knowledge of the game...

The game taken all in all, was one of those soul-loving, mirth-provoking things that go smooth down the stepping stones of life and ease up the business cares of man. A novel and new feature in the game of base-Ball [sic] was the selection of a lady umpire and lady scorers.
