Description	(4 innings) (NYDT: “A great many visitors were on the ground to witness the sport. Knickerbocker played well, … Eagle also played well, but they are not quite strong enough for the Knickerbockers, and this is the first time they played the full strength of their opponents.”) (NYH: “A grand match of this national game was played … The play was good all round, especially the Knickerbocker’s. This is the first time the Eagle Club has played the full force of the Knickerbockers. … The ground was well covered with spectators.”) (SOT: “The Elysian Fields in Hoboken were well covered on Tuesday last to witness the above exciting game—and well played it was throughout—though the Knickerbocker was too strong for the Eagles and won the match in double quick time …”)
