Description

(return game of last year’s match)

(BDE: “The game was played according to the new Convention rules of 1859, under one of which it was observed that the Neosho put out three hands of their opponents with one ball, by catching the ball ‘on the fly’ and then passing it to two bases in immediate succession so as at the same time to put out both men who were returning to those bases.”)
