| Description | Game between 1st and 2d nine. "In submitting the above game, I will state that it was not played between the 1st and 2nd nne, frm the fact of the 1st nine's superiority over the 2d." [The two captains, Connor and Harrington, had ended up putting several lesser players on the slate for the 1st nine.] "Play began at precisely at 1:14 A.M [sic] and lasted one hour and 42 minutes. . . . The Catcher, Mr. Lambert, 1st Nine, did very excellent catching, and one occasion a foul ball was caught by him, he making a leap over one of the audience and knocking down a stray dog, catching the ball in his left hand, and putting player out. . . . -- W. W. Morris, Secretary, Friendship Club. 1st Nine side players include Connor, Lambert, Murray, Kitchen, Coyle, Schickedonz, Kates, McLaughlin, Babcock, and Dawson. 2d Nine players include Harrington, Williams, Cull, Ayres, Demsay, Kelley, Smith, Lawler, and Walbridge.
