The Winthrop Club was the challenging party, they having been defeated by the Union Club last season, and won the championship from the Winthrops. The event drew together a large number of our citizens—admirers of this exciting sport, also large numbers from the country towns in this State. The game was played according to the established rules of the Massachusetts Association of Base ball players, 100 tallies constituting the game. “ … During the progress of the game Mr. C. W. Seavy, a member of the Union Club, was struck with the ball in the temple and was taken from the field, but soon returned to do his part in winning the game; also Geo. Hoffman, member of the Winthrop Club, while running from the first to the second base, struck one of his fingers against the second base and turned it out of joint. The game was not delayed longer than to have his finger brought back to its proper position by Dr. Fisher, of Medway, who was present, and the playing proceeded as if nothing had happened. We hope to see our country friends again in another match at some future time.”)</p>)
