A match was played June 29 on the upper ground, at the Capitoline, in which Koehler’s nine was pitted against the California nine. Beer was the order of the day, and whenever a good hit was made or a fly ball caught, play was suspended until they would all take a drink. Koehler’s boys did the best service at the beer barrels, while the California youths walked off with the game to the tune of 40 to 21.
