| Text | [Keystones vs. Mutuals 7/25/1865] Mr. John Lynch, the scorer of the Keystones, surrendered the ball with some well-timed and neat remarks. Supervisor Tweed received it for the Mutual Club, in an excellent and appropriate off-hand speech... New York Leader July 29, 1865 reporter for the Brooklyn Eagle [Keystone vs. Star 7/28/1865] At the close of the 7th innings the game looked as if the Keystones were “gone up.” Sutton, of the Brooklyn Eagle, put up his score book in disgust. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury July 30, 1865 fan interference; championship games on public grounds; block ball [Mutuals vs. Atlantics 8/3/1865] The crowd, yesterday, interfered greatly with the fielding, and once they opened for Sid Smith to get out, after kicking the ball away, and then closed up to prevent his return. When Peter O'Brien was prepared to catch a ball, he was saluted with, “You son of a b----, don't hold that.” Such expressions tended to show how sympathy manifested itself. It is folly to attempt any more championship games, on public grounds. Brooklyn Eagle August 4, 1865 |
