| Text | [Atlantic v. Gotham 10/25/1858] The members of the Atlantic Club appeared desirous of giving their opponents equal advantages, and used strong endeavors for that purpose. They failed in so doing. When Mr. P. O’Brien appeared, his stalwart frame won respect, and the ground was clear for a display of his prowess. When the light, lythe form of Commerford appeared upon the opposite side, every man retained his position, absolutely precluding from catching or fielding. The general feeling with the various representatives of New York clubs, at the termination of the game, was that hereafter they would not play a game with Brooklyn, so long as their grounds are public, and over which they cannot exercise proper police regulations. It is bad enough to go to Brooklyn and be defeated, without being subject to the mockery and derision of infant sepoys. New York Sunday Mercury October 31, 1858 ...as we have before remarked, there is no club in existence which can successfully contend with the Atlantic players, on their own ground. New York Sunday Mercury November 21, 1858 the runner falls on the base: a proto-slide? [Olympic of Brooklyn vs. Independent of Somerville 10/14/1858] [complaining about the umpire,] A striker of the Olympic was running from the second to the third base, the ball was passed to the third base, and reached it nearly at the same time as the runner, but it was at least a foot from him in fair view, when he fell on the base–decided “out.” New York Sunday Mercury October 31, 1858 |
