First Nine 50 Second Nine 15 (+ odds of 15) (Victory BBC intra-club game) (TDW: “The excellent fielding of both nines was much admired by the large body of spectators.—But the tremendous batting of the first nine was particularly applauded. The heavy score is attributable to this fact, as the second nine were not wanting in fielding but were particularly so in batting. We understand that a return match will be played in a few days.”)

Priam 1 (Troy) 31 Victory 2 (Troy) 13 (TDW (3): “A match game (purporting to be of Base Ball … The result might have been avoided, had the Victory boys played with anything like their accustomed ability. We will not say that willfulness had anything to do with the game, but it seemed to be decidedly so. / During the first five innings the play was very sharp, and the result was clothed in much doubt.; but when the Priams went in on the sixth innings, and made seven runs, and again in the seventh made eight runs, then it was apparent to all that the Victorys would be obliged to reverse their belts. The fielding on the part of the Victorys during those two innings was decidedly ‘butter’—the degree of ‘muffin’ seems to be too good to applied. / The fielding of the Priam Club was almost worthy of a first-class club. We never saw them do better. / On the return match, it is to be hoped that the Victory boys will sustain their second nine reputation more fully than they did this time. / There was a very large party of spectators and we were glad to see that everything was conducted in an orderly manner. / … the Victory alias Vic-tim second nine got roughly handled.”)

Victory (Troy) 42 Albany (Albany) 13 (TDW (2): “The long talked of match … / During the morning considerable apprehension was felt that the grounds would be too wet, in consequence of the soaking rain which fell the day before, but these fears proved to be without foundation, as the players arrived upon the field. / The Clerk of the Weather is entitled to a vote of thanks from all concerned in the matter, for the beautiful day which was tendered for their use.—Neither too hot nor too cold, with a fine breeze stirring, though not so strong as to incommode the players, and the players and the spectators enjoyed themselves exceedingly. The attendance of spectators was very large—numbering between four or five hundred. / A policeman was on hand to preserve order, but his presence was scarcely needed, as the spectators seemed to owe it to themselves as well as to the players, to preserve the strictest decorum. / The fielding of the Victorys was superb—but their batting was a little the tallest thing ever seen around these parts, in the way of ball-playing—We surmise that if they play this week against the New Yorkers, as they did Saturday against the Albanians, some players,--not of this city, will get the worst of the bargain. / The Albanians are not bad players by any means. Their fielding was excellent, with a few exceptions, their batting is not so effective as that of the Victorys, though this part of the game was well played. The Albany boys are gentleman in every sense of the word, and we speak from authority when we say that the Victory boys want no more gentlemanly opponents to play against than the members of the Albany Base Ball Club. / Immediately after the match the presentation ceremonies took place when the Clubs adjourned to Weir’s Hotel, where refreshments were served. / We noticed that there were present delegations from the Champion, Beaverwycks, Tivoli and other clubs from Albany, Excelsior and Alert from West Troy, Union of Waterford, Van Guard of Cohoes, National of Lansingburgh, and several other clubs of this city.”)

Excelsior (Brooklyn) 24 Champion (Albany) 6 (part of the Excelsior tour) (AAA: “That it will be a game worth witnessing there is no doubt, for the excellence of the two Clubs guarantees that. Ladies are invited and especial arrangements will be made for their comfort.”) (TDW: “The Excelsior Club of Brooklyn, who have pretty well reduced base ball to a science, and who pay their pitcher $500 a year, are making a crusade through the provinces for the purpose of winning laurels, or losing them, with the different clubs on the way. Yesterday afternoon they vanquished the Champion Club of Albany, and as the Victory Club, of this city, are to contest with them to-day, an immense delegation of Trojans went down to see the match. The Brooklynites proved good batters, capital catchers, and their pitching was terrific. … / The general impression among the Victory boys was that if they did not beat the strangers this afternoon, they would give them harder treatment than they experienced at the hands of the Champions.” (PSOT: [lengthy account reprinted “from an Albany journal.”]) (NYC: “It was a fly game.”) (Peverelly: “Saturday, June 30, 1860, the Excelsior Nine and others left for Albany. They were received by a delegation from the Champion Club of Albany, and registered at Stanwix Hall. … After the game the Champions entertained their guests at the Merchant’s Hotel.”)

Excelsior (Brooklyn) 13 Victory (Troy) 7 (part of the Excelsior tour) (TDW (1): “The Victory Club of this city have on the tapis no less than seven matches, to take place during the coming Summer. They expect to have a dusty time with the Excelsiors of Brooklyn, early next July.”) (TDW (5): “The prominent local event of yesterday … Although our Troy Club lost the match, they played a most splendid game, especially toward the close, when they fairly distanced their opponents, but were unable to overcome the majority gained by the Brooklynites before the Trojan heroes had fairly girded on their armor. / The match was played under the eyes of quite one thousand spectators—many of them ladies, and much enthusiasm was manifested. The score, 13 to 7, is a very fine one, and as in base ball low figures represent good play, this may well be called a first class match. The fielding of the Victorys was fully equal to that of the Excelsiors; but the skillful pitching of the latter club, resulting in the balls flying into the air and being caught, had most telling effect. …/ The Excelsiors wore a pretty uniform—blue caps, white merino shirts, trimmed with blue, white belts, blue pants and white shoes. Their play was much better than at Albany on Monday, and they admitted that had they played no better yesterday than on the former occasion they would have lost the match. Their pitcher does not receive $500 a year, but he is a splendid player. / On the part of the Victory Club, their best players seemed to have the poorest luck; but all played well, and the compliments bestowed by their opponents were numerous and hearty. / After the match the Victory Club with their guests, partook of a supper at the Troy House.—Speeches were made, songs were sung, and the best of feeling prevailed. Dr. Hegeman, on behalf of the Victory, presented the Excelsior Club with a ball and also a regulation bat, suitably inscribed. Dr. Jones responded very handsomely. The strangers then left for Albany, and will be at Niagara to-day.”) (PSOT: “A numerous assemblage of the citizens of Troy, including many ladies, were spectators of the pastime.”) (Peverelly: “The Excelsiors were received by Dr. Hegeman, Robert Green, and others. … After the game the Excelsiors were well entertained at the ‘Troy House.’ “)

We are very sorry that this is more than can be said of some of the Victorys and Trojan outsiders. The coarse expressions emanating from the southerly part of the field yesterday, could not have raised the reputation of our young men in the eyes of strangers. We only hope in future that the demeanor of the Victory Club may do them as much honor as their skill when on duty. / There were many spectators present yesterday, including a number of Trojans.—A high wind interfered with the excellence of the score.”)

The Whitehallers went home in very good spirits, and their opponents pay a high tribute to their skills and gentlemanly qualities. It must be remembered that the Victorys are rather of the invincible order.—They are without doubt the strongest club out of the Metropolis.”)

Victory 2 (Troy) 36 Champion 2 (Albany) 27 (5 innings) (TDW: “The size of the score can only be attributed to the warm weather. / It will be observed that the Champion played one more inning than the Victory.”) (PSOT: “The game was, we understand, characterized by a style of playing which ought to be frowned down by every lover of and participator in, the game of base ball, viz., tricky playing—waiting for a runner to get in before striking, and similar small advantages. As a consequence, the five innings consumed four hours and fifteen minutes of time—from 3 o’clock until 7 ¼. Such style of burlesque ball playing is not indulged in or countenanced by any clubs in New York or Brooklyn; and we hope that all base ball organizations, wherever they may be located, who desire the prosperity of the game, will promply [sic] put a veto on all such spurious ball playing. Blackball the ‘waiting game.’ “)

Champion (Albany) 20 Excelsior (West Troy) 19 (TDW: “The Champion Club, of Albany, says the Statesman, played the Excelsior Club of West Troy on Friday, and, contrary to our expectations, ‘had a hard row to hoe.’ The Excelsiors played finely, while the batting of the Champions was far below their usual standard, and the consequence was a closely contested and exciting game. The Excelsior Club have made several alterations in their nine, which have vastly improved it. … A large number of spectators were present, including a great many ladies.”)
