| Description | From the Evening Courier & Republic:
BASE BALL EXTRAORDINARY. The Columbia base ball club was to have played with the Niagaras last week Tuesday, but the weather prevented the occurrence of the game. They did so yesterday, and the result was the most overwhelming defeat, we think, on record in base ball annals, the Niagaras being the victors by a score of two hundred and nine to ten. If any other club ever made as many runs as that in a game since base ball became an institution, it is news to us. The only wonder is, how so many tallies could have been crowded into the time, which is given as three hours in the score which has been furnished us, and which we publish below. We are somewhat inclined in base ball matters to reason logically. For instance: the “Red Stockings” beat the Niagaras by a score of forty-two to six, or seven to one. The fair inference is, if the Cincinnatians had played the Columbias, the score would have been fourteen hundred and sixty-three to one or two; that is, multiplying the score of the Niagaras in the game yesterday by seven, and dividing that of the Columbias by the same number. “Logic is logic.” |
