| Text | The gentlemen for whom the benefit is gotten up, are well known to the Base Ball Fraternity,--the names of Pierce and Creighton, being names of players not to be forgotted [sic], the latter noted for his superior pitching. The large circle of friends of Mr. Pierce, conceived the idea and arranged the match for his benefit, but he generously desired Mr. Creighton to be included, and thus the two are to share the proceeds, and to judge from the large circle of their acquaintances the proceeds will amount to something handsome. We are requested to state that tickets for this match can be purchased at the store of Dick & Haynes, corner of Fulton avenue and St. Felix street, Brooklyn. Price 10 cents. Match to come off November 7th, on the St. George Cricket grounds, Hoboken. Brooklyn Eagle November 1, 1861 A contest between two picked nines from the leading Base Ball Clubs of Brooklyn, will take place to-day, Thursday, Nov. 7th, on the St. George's enclosed grounds at Hoboken. Brooklyn Eagle November 7, 1861 The assemblage amounted to about from two to three thousand persons, a fair proportion of whom were of the fair sex. Brooklyn Eagle November 8, 1861 |
