Although they have been many years organized, their contests have been a series of triumphs, and their reverses have been, like angels’ visits, few and far between. As an illustration of this remark, it is only necessary to look at the club’s splendid rosewood trophy case, containing some fifty balls, emblems of their prowess and skill. / The Enterprise Club was, until a season or two, in the ranks of the Junior associations, among whom they maintained a ‘front seat’ as a body of A 1 players.

The club houses, from which a fine view of the game can be had, have been preserved for lady visitors, and every accommodation will be afforded for all of them who may grace the scene with their ever-welcome presence, and it will be a sight well worth the witnessing. … The Atlantics now wear the “belt,” and this contest will be a regular battle for the championship; for if the Excelsiors fail to defeat the champions this time, it is pretty certain no other Club is going to do it this season. Those interested in base ball playing in other cities will be here in large numbers.”)(BDE (3) & SOT: “This long-talked of match came off yesterday …. There were probably seven or eight thousand persons present during the game, including all the prominent Base Ball players in this vicinity. Heretofore the Atlantics have been acknowledged the champion club of Brooklyn, yesterday however the Excelsiors beat them badly. From the play of the latter club on several recent occasions this was not unexpected, but much disappointment was felt in the complete one sidedness of the game. … For a month or more the Base Ball public has been alive with interest concerning this great match. At an early hour the crowd commenced congregating, and when the game commenced there could not have been less than five or six thousand persons present. The greatest excitement prevailed, and betting stood 10 to 8 on the Atlantic Club. The Atlantics were not up to their usual play in any one point, missing balls on the fly and bound, overthrowing and misbatting. The result of the game was an entire disappointment to the large crowd in attendance, judging from their moving away like a solemn funeral procession after the game was over. We have seen the Atlantics in almost every principal game which they have experienced for some years, and we do assert, without any fear of contradiction, that the ‘Bedford Boys’ never played so poorly. But on the part of the Excelsior Club, they never played so well.)(NYT: [long description of game](NYC: “An immense assemblage of spectators collected … to witness the first of a series of home-an-home contests this season between the Atlantic and Excelsior clubs, the former being known as the champion club of the State, from never having been defeated in any series of matches since their organization; and the latter being equally prominent from the result of their tour through the western part of the State, during which they successfully encountered the strongest clubs of Albany, Troy, Buffalo, Rochester, and Newburg, playing and winning six matches, and traveling over a thousand miles within ten days, a feat unequalled in the annals of the game. … this season the general play of the [Atlantics] has not been as good as that of last year, and we have noticed occasionally of late, a perceptible falling off in the ability that has hitherto been characteristic of their play. The absence of their regular captain and catcher, Mr. Boerum, who went to Europe this spring, has undoubtedly caused a difference, and the several unfortunate occurrences that have, to an extent, disabled their principal players is another prominent cause; but we have also observed that there has been but one occasion previous to their contest with the Excelsiors, wherein there had been any necessity for any unusual display of skill, and hence a relaxed state of discipline has been induced that has had an unnerving effect. We therefore would suggest to the Atlantics the necessity of their at once introducing a prompt reform in this respect, by giving more attention to the practice requisite to ensure success, and by such efforts alone are they likely to bring about a favorable issue to the second contest of the series, …”))

The Enterprise Club have improved very much in their play since last season, and the spirited manner in which they have entered the lists with the strongest clubs in the city, and the ability they have displayed on each occasion, places them at once in the front rank as a playing club.”)(BDE (2): Second reporter: “The first game between these two clubs was played yesterday in the presence of some two or three thousand spectators, a large number being ladies. The Enterprise boys played handsomely in the field and on the bases, but in batting they were not as heavy as the Eckfords. … The Eckfords were out in full force and but for their wonderful batting would have been beaten. The enterprise boys bore their defeat manfully and in presenting the ball expressed a wish that they might whenever they played, fins fine a set of gentlemen as the Eckfords proved themselves. … The Enterpaise [sic] Boys are a first class Club, and would in a contact with the Star Club worst them badly. When they again play the Eckfords we hope to see the ‘Boys’ ‘fetch that ball home.’ ”)(NYC: “The second of the series of first class matches the ‘Enterprise boys’ have entered upon this season, ….”)(NYT: “A very well contested game … The playing altogether was in first rate style.

The good feeling manifested throughout this really exciting contest, was highly creditable to the two clubs, and fully showed the cordiality of feeling existing between them. After the game was over, the Atlantics and their friends were entertained at the club rooms by the Eckfords, and the day’s play ended in the most agreeable manner to all.”)(WSOT: “Great interest was manifested in the trial by one of the largest audiences of the season, numbering full three thousand persons.”)thousand persons.”))

We allude to these two clubs especially, as they have been rivals since their organization, the Enterprise club practicing on the same grounds as the Atlantics, and the Stars, up to this season, on that of the Excelsiors, both the Atlantics and Excelsiors being at times recruited from these junior clubs. … It would seem that the Atlantics play only when occasion demands, and they generally show their marked efficiency as ball players the best when they are in a tight place. … The storm on Monday interfered with the play for an hour, but the game was resumed and finished.
