The Match Game of Base Ball -
The match game between the Old Dominion and Mt. Vernon clubs, came off yesterday evening, on the grounds of the former, near Colross, resulting in a victory for the Old Dominion, by of score of 50 to 15. The game was called [ed. - scheduled] at 2 1/2 o'clock, but it was nearly 3 before playing began. The Old Dominions were first at the bat, scoring eight [??] for a start. The fielding of the Mt. Vernon, considering the short practice of the club, was excellent, Mr. Add Warfield making several fine fly catches, which called forth the applause of the spectators. The Old Dominions' fielding was the principle [sic] cause of the victory for them, the Mt. Vernons doing much better work at the bat - Kell's service at the bat were much missed, he not being in his usual trim. The game was one of deep interest to all parties concerned, being the first match game over played in this city. Both sides deserve great credit for the improvement the have made. Mr. McAuly of the Jefferson Club of Washington, acted as Umpire, and gave great satisfaction by his impartial decision creating a most favorable impression on both clubs. McLean and Claridge, acted as scorers.
