Previous to any day having been set for a game between these clubs, the Mutuals agreed that, if the “Haymakers” would visit New York and play them the first game here, they would play the return game at Troy within fifteen days after the first game, whether it was lost or won; therefore, it was very necessary for the New Yorkers to defeat their opponents in the first game if they would retain the championship, as they would be pretty certain to lose the return game at Troy, never having won a game from the Haymakers at theat locality. As an arrangement had also been made that the Unions were to select their umpire here, and the Mutuals in Troy, the former exercised their privilege on this occasion, picking out Mr. Macdiarmid, of the Star Club.
