| Description | (8 innings, due to darkness) (BDE: “This match was played … before a large concourse of people, numbering, perhaps, two thousand. … We cannot close our remarks without commenting upon the betting, which of late has characterized this game. Gentlemen loudly offering their money on their favorite club; if this is allowed to go on, it will destroy the interest in the game, and throw it entirely in the hands of betting men. We hope this may be remedied by expulsion of any member of a club who thus participates.”) (NYC: “A very large attendance of spectators was on the grounds, numbering at least six thousand, ….”) |
