| Description | Enterprise (Brooklyn) 26 Eckford (Brooklyn) 23 [or 24] (home-and-home game) (Brooklyn Daily Eagle (6): “The Eckfords were minus the services of one of their first nine men—Manoit—and the Enterprise also lacked Murtha in the field.”) (Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times (7): “The Eckfords have, for many years occupied a front rank position in base ball circles, and have ‘many a time and oft’ been marshaled to victory under the veteran Frank Pidgeon, who is now, as far as active duty is concerned, on the ‘retired list.’ If our space permitted, it would afford us pleasure to render a brief tribute to the enthusiastic and lively Frank, who has never been excelled on the base ball field as Captain of the nine. Long may he wave!”) (New York Clipper: “Both parties were minus the services of some of their regular players, the Eckfords feeling the absence of Manoit considerably. But the substitutes did well, and the game was closely and ably contested on both sides.”) |
