| Description | (New York Clipper: “… the two principal clubs, Olympic and Athletic, contended for the usual trophy. The day was glorious for the sport, and the large company of ladies and gentlemen that graced the occasion with their presence, proved conclusively that the love for active, exhilarating sport is not on the wane in Philadelphia. The manifest feeling among the spectators in favor of the Athletic nine was too marked for the good of future play, and we take this opportunity to say, that Base Ball players above all others, should not forget how to conduct themselves at a match. … We are informed that the Olympic have never lost a match!—they are the champion club, and we hope to be able at no distant day to witness a match between them and some leading club of New York or Boston.”) |
