Text	Boyd Corey & Co., vs. Clapp & Billings.–A match game of base ball was played at Marlboro, Aug. 1st, between employees of the above mentioned firms., which brought to remembrance, the doings on the ballfield in the “days of yore.” The match was played in accordance with the rules of the old “Massachusetts game” and was for a prize of $100. The game throughout was marked with good plays on both sides and was both interesting and exciting to the lookers on who were numbered by hundreds. The conditions were to play from 2 P.M. until 7 P.M. the club scoring the greatest number of runs at the expiration of that time, to be considered the victors. [The game lasted 28 and a half innings, final score 24 to 23.] New England Base Ballist August 20, 1868
