Description

(New York Clipper: “Mr. Eastman, to make the affair of more interest, told his men that if they defeated the cricketers, he would give them an oyster supper.  So at it they went, each man determined to do his duty.  …  The Poughkeepsie Cricket Club is composed of young men, most of whom are under age, sons of respectable citizens resident there, who intend to play both cricket and base ball next season.”)
