Text	The Excelsior club...do not lay claim to being match players, and merely meet for practice and sociability. They may play several match games during the season, it is true, but “champion” games they never believed in, and discarding this idea, it is earnestly hoped some friendly games may be played between them and the Atlantics. Brooklyn Eagle April 27, 1865 The [Excelsior] Club is composed of members who meet, mainly for practice and recreation. They are not desirous of fame merely as crack players, nor will they engage in “Champion” matches. Sedentary business habits demand some exercise, which will remove the injury caused by too much and constant business application, and hence on practice days, relaxation from labor and healthful recreation are the main incentives which carry members to the ball field.
