| Description | Excelsior (Brooklyn) 24 Champion (Albany) 6 (part of the Excelsior tour) (Albany Atlas and Argus: “That it will be a game worth witnessing there is no doubt, for the excellence of the two Clubs guarantees that. Ladies are invited and especial arrangements will be made for their comfort.”) (Troy Daily Whig: “The Excelsior Club of Brooklyn, who have pretty well reduced base ball to a science, and who pay their pitcher $500 a year, are making a crusade through the provinces for the purpose of winning laurels, or losing them, with the different clubs on the way. Yesterday afternoon they vanquished the Champion Club of Albany, and as the Victory Club, of this city, are to contest with them to-day, an immense delegation of Trojans went down to see the match. The Brooklynites proved good batters, capital catchers, and their pitching was terrific. … / The general impression among the Victory boys was that if they did not beat the strangers this afternoon, they would give them harder treatment than they experienced at the hands of the Champions.” (Porter’s Spirit of the Times: [lengthy account reprinted “from an Albany journal.”]) (New York Clipper: “It was a fly game.”) (Peverelly: “Saturday, June 30, 1860, the Excelsior Nine and others left for Albany. They were received by a delegation from the Champion Club of Albany, and registered at Stanwix Hall. … After the game the Champions entertained their guests at the Merchant’s Hotel.”) |
