[Union of Morrisania vs. Athlete of Washington Heights, 5/25/1867, 101 to 13 in six innings] This game reminds one of some which the Athletic Club of Philadelphia were partial to “fixing up” with the clubs of the interior of the Keystone State during the past two seasons, in which the Athletics used to stand at the bat until all hands were tired of putting in the big licks, when three of them would get put out “for fun,” and just for a change. Such scores are “high pecoons” for a club’s averages, 402 to 71, and nobody on the winning side “sweating a hair.” Three cheers for our National Game.
