Text	Governor-elect Pattison was a member of the Harry Clay Base Ball Club, of Philadelphia, during the years 1866, '67 and '68 and played first base with the club in a famous game which came off at Pottstown, on Thanksgiving day, November 29, 1866, with the Pottstown club. In those days the game of base ball was different from what it is now, big scores were made on hotly contested games, and this was a very sharp contest, resulting in forty-eight runs for the Harry Clay to forty-five for the Pottstown club. The latter were ahead until the last inning, when the Clays saved themselves by making nine runs. Mr. Pattison, though not yet sixteen years of age, was one of the principal players, figuring lively in the “sky scrapers,” “daisy cutters,” “hot ones,” “home runs,” etc. the return game was played one year later, on Thanksgiving day, 1867, on the Athletic grounds, Philadelphia, where Robert E. Pattison again played first base.
