Text | The game in California has some curious features, it seems. A game played in Woodbridge, May 26, had ten men on a side, the extra played being a “2d c.,” or sort of backstop put behind the regular to nip fouls and prevent passed balls. The game was ten innings, though there was no tie on the ninth, the score was 24 to 20, and the winners, the Eagles of San Francisco, won $50 and a silver cake-basket. The latter implement would seem to be rather useless to a ball club. |
