Description | (Brooklyn Daily Eagle (6): “Both clubs were short two or three of their first nine, and were obliged to substitute alternates. The play on both sides was animated throughout, … The Eagles, rating as a first class club, their defeat will, in a measure, retrieve the lost reputation of the Brooklyn Club in their recent contest with the Putnams of Williamsburgh.”) (Porter’s Spirit of the Times (8): “… notwithstanding the thermometer was up in the world, the Eagle and Excelsior Clubs played a very exciting game, which attracted a large number of spectators. It was the first contest between these clubs, and much interest, and some tin, was felt in the result.”) |
