| Text | The Lowell Club of Boston...left home, and came hither in search of more knowledge in the game, and, in order to learn all the points of play, they determined on a game with the renowned champions. They did not anticipate anything but a defeat with the Atlantic Club, and of course the result of yesterday's game did not disappoint them. The contrast between the two nines was most marked, the Atlantics being much more muscular. The game so young comparatively in Massachusetts, it required a travel from home to learn the points of the game more fully. Nothing so effectually popularized and improves the game as these friendly visits from club to club, and the effect in the conduct of clubs is clearly discernible. … The games here will not doubt have a very salutary effect on the future play of the visitors, and this visit will prove the most advantageous step they have ever yet taken. They stated that the balls they had in Massachusetts were not at all lively, and so well pleased were they with the Harvey Rose balls, that they instantly ordered a dozen made for their use at home. This is by all odds the best base ball in use, and they wear better than any yet manufactured. |
