Text	A match game of base ball was played on the Technology grounds yesterday afternoon between the Albion (colored) and the King Phillips' clubs, which resulted in favor of the King Phillips, the score being 12 to 17. Boston Herald May 23, 1872 the new fifty cent tariff at the Union grounds [Mutual vs. Eckford 5/18/1872] On Saturday, May 18, these clubs played their first championship match together, on the Union Grounds, on which occasion the new tariff of admission went into operation for the first time, the rates now being fifty cents for contests between the “regulars” and twenty-five cents for matches between regular and co-operatives, or between co-operatives themselves. As no one knew of the change of prices, and as the contest was expected to be one-sided, attendance was quite slim. New York Clipper May 25, 1872
