| Description | (TIE – 6 innings, due to darkness) (New York Clipper: These clubs played together for the first time since June, 1860, …, the occasion being a match between them that was arranged on the ground on the same day, in place of the contest with the Charter Oak, which was then to have taken place. It was a well-contested game from first to last, the fielding of both parties being excellent. The wind was against the batting and in favor of the pitching, and hence the small score. … In fact, the fielding on both sides was such that we cannot well mention one as worthy of praise without naming nearly all.”) |
