| Description | (NYC: “A very large assemblage of hilarious and fashionable spectators graced the scene. The smiles of the fair imparted a tone of chivalry to the manhood so nobly and yet harmlessly displayed. A tent for the female friends of the players had been prepared by the Eagle Club with their usual gallantry. The most cordial kind of decorum seemed to actuate every person present. The fine old trees, sparkling in the brilliant sunshine, seemed to nod a gratified assent to the entire proceedings; …. The public won a rich treat of manly and generous sport.”) (NYT: “There were thousands of ladies and gentlemen on the ground to witness this game, which was an excellent one. The weather was fine.”) (PSOT: “This match, which has been much talked of by those who have take an interest in the game of base ball, was played …, and contrary to the expectations of everybody, and to the chagrin of the Eagle’s friends, the Gothams gained an unusual victory, having more than doubled the runs of their opponents.”) |
