| Description | (BDE: “This was the match of the season, and was generally well played. The Atlantics were rendered rather weak by the lameness of their two most important men, …. The Putnams never played a better game, while the Atlantics were far below their proverbial style of play. … Quite a goodly number was present, say 1,500, and much interest was manifested. The Putnams kept the ground in better order than on the last match, and the cheering of their friends was suppressed. The Putnams bore their defeat gallantly, and after the game was over, the crowd rushed for home. This is the second game of the season for the Putnams, and scores defeat No. 2.”) (NYT: “A very close and exciting game was played by the above Clubs …, and after a brilliant display of fielding on both sides victory once more sided with the Atlantics. Very few misses were made on either side, and a little more steadiness in throwing and a little lower batting would have left nothing more to be desired. A few incorrect decisions of the umpire turned the game in favor of the Atlantics, the objectionable the other way happening to have no effect on the number of runs. So many changes were made on the Atlantic side that it was very hard to keep track of the fielders. … Between two and three thousand spectators were present.”) (NYC: “the occasion drew forth a large assemblage of spectators … notwithstanding the oppressive heat of the weather, early in the day, and the counter attraction of another good match, which took place on the grounds of the Charter Oak Club the same afternoon.”) (Peverelly: “Return game not played, on account of the disbandment of the Putnams.”) |
