Text | By the way, speaking of the matter of a prize ball, it may not be generally known to our readers that the custom originated with the Union Club of Morrisania, under the presidency of Thomas E. Sutton, in the fall of 1855. The first ball received as a prize was received by the Union Club of Morrisania from the Young America Club; and the example so set has since been universally adopted. [The game was played October 25, won by the Unions 25-8.] [from a letter by “M.E.G.”, Mr. Gelston, formerly of the Eagle BBC of NY, then Eagle BBC of San Francisco at time of writing] |
