Text | A celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the active membership of James Whyte Davis, of the old Knickerbocker Baseball Club, took place a Hoboken, N.J., Sept. 27. In the afternoon a game was played between the old and young members of the club, at the west end of Eighth street, which was won by the young men by a score of 20 to 0. Some of the old members have not played ball for fifteen or twenty years. On the field, just before the game began, Mr. Davis was presented with a handsome silk embroidered belt by the lady guests as a memento of the interesting occasion. During the evening celebration a silver ball and two silver bats were presented to Mr. Davis by the other members of the club. |
