A feature of the contests which have taken place in the metropolis this past season, has been the number of fine games played by nines known not as club nines, as were the leading teams of ten years ago, but as Insurance nines, Dry goods nines, Hardware, Banking-house, Brokers, Provision-house nines, etc. Indeed, there has sprung up such a rivalry in baseball contests between nines of leading business firms of the city, that as much excitement exists in regard to the championship of the various classes of business as used to mark the matches between the rival clubs of Hoboken and Brooklyn.
