Text	[Atlantic vs. Eckford 9/6/1869] The fielding on both sides was of a very superior order. Of the Atlantics, but three men made first bases on errors—once on a muff by Allison, again on a dropped fly-ball by Wood (a most difficult catch to hold), and the third on bad judgment by Treacy at second. Of the other errors, Jewett and Martin dropped one fly-ball each: Jewett had five passed balls, and Martin three over-pitches; these were all the errors made by the Eckfords. The Atlantics allowed the first base to be made eight times—once on a wild throw by Smith, four times on muffs (none of them very bad) by Crane, and once on a dropped fly-ball by McDonald; these and two passed balls by Ferguson comprised the errors on the Atlantic side. Although the scores were large, the game was well played on both sides, and was won by the superior batting of the Atlantics.
