Date	1864
Text	[Resolute vs. Olympic 7/30/1864] Wilson opened play by hitting a ball which C. Bomeisler ought to have held on the fly, but it dropped from his hands, and Wilson made his 3d, a passed ball taking him home. Thereupon followed immense cheering from the “opposition,” and, by the way, we have to state that the active sympathy manifested in favor of the Resolutes was decidedly more the result of a desire to see the Olympics defeated, than to see the strangers carry a ball out of the city, and this strong display of partisan feeling shown by the rivals of the Olympics... the rivalry at present existing between the Olympic and Athletic Clubs of Philadelphia being any thing but that manly and generous action which is excited by a creditable desire to excel, it being more the spirit of two faction than of two reputable clubs of the base ball fraternity.
