Description	Baltimore Sun (1): The match “was witnessed by some fifteen hundred persons.  … The New Yorkers gave the Philadelphians credit for excwellent playing.” (New York Times (3): “… the Philadelphians played well in the field—some of them being cricketers.”) (New York Times (4): “The base ball match … was witnessed by fifteen hundred persons.  …  The game occupied two hours and five minutes.”) (New York Clipper: “about two thousand gratuitous cards of admission were distributed to the ball clubs of the city, and their friends. … It must be borne in mind that the game of base ball is not an institution of long standing in Philadelphia.”)
