Description

(home-and-home game)

(Washington journal: “Taken as a whole, the game was a good one, and it settles the local championship.  The victors are quite anxious to get a game or two in Baltimore, but the clubs there have decided not to give them a ‘final hearing’ till the spring.  We would be glad to see the intercourse between the ‘B.B.’s’ of the two cities established on a more sociable footing.  Why can’t the Waverly’s—now they ‘have no more worlds to conquer’ in Baltimore—run over for a few hours and take a friendly look at the Potomac grounds?  Cannot the prospect of an Indian summer’s day and a warm reception tempt them to come for a Washington ball?  We hope it may.”)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: “… the Potomacs … occupy a proud position among the southern base-ball clubs, both as an effective body of players, and in a social sense.  As one of the first clubs to introduce the National Association, a New York game, among the southern base-ball boys, we are always happy to hear of their success and prosperity.”
