Description	(2nd nines game) (Brooklyn Daily Eagle (5): “The match between the first nines proved to be quite a closely contested game.  What may the second nines not do?”) (Brooklyn Daily Eagle (7): “The game was a vast improvement on the one played by the Stars with the Olympics and might have passed for a first nine match.  The Stars played with seven men until the fourth innings, and the Hamiltons with eight throughout the game: this we do not like to see, let every club that pretends to play matches put on nine men from the start.  The play of the Stars was good throughout the game, and we must say they have redeemed themselves completely.  We don’t think that there are many second nines that could win a ball from them. … / The Star and Hamilton clubs must be composed entirely of good-natured men, for we never saw two clubs play together in such a jolly manner.  Somebody must get up a fight when the play the return game on Saturday, the 19th inst., for such good behavior on the part of ball clubs is really oppressive.”)
