Description

(New York Clipper: “The first of a home and home series of matches between these clubs …  The Unions had their best nine out on the occasion, and played a good fielding game, but the pitching on their side was unusually wild.  The Stars lacked the services of their regular catcher, Morris, and played with but eight men.  Anderson doing double duty at short field and third base.  We regret being compelled to curtail our remarks on this match, because of the standing of the clubs, but a superabundance of matter compels us to do so.”)
