[Mutual vs. Eckford 9/1/1869] The wintry aspect of the weather yesterday did not deter the admirers of the game of base ball from flocking to the Union Grounds to witness the contest between the Mutuals and the champion Eckfords. The majority of those present, however, entertained the idea that this was the first game of a new series for the championship, and for that reason the play was watched with much more interest. It was not one of a new series, but simply a friendly, single, practice game between the nines.
