Description

Constellation Jr. (Brooklyn, E.D.) 12

Active Jr. (NY) 9

(return game – 5 innings)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: “… the sixth innings was very nearly completed when the umpire was obliged to call the game.  After it was concluded, the two clubs proceeded to the room of the Actives, and there spent an hour or two very pleasantly, singing, speaking and extracts from ‘Romeo and Juliet’ being the order of the evening, all of which wound up with nine hearty cheers, and each went their way home, feeling that they had spent a pleasant afternoon.”)
