Text | The design is to play a match either between picked tens of veterans, or to play nine of the old Pastime Club members against a nine composed of old Atlantic, Excelsior, Putnam and Eckford Club players 1858 to 1860 inclusive. The game will be played under the old 1858 rules, with a large, old-fashioend elastic ball made by Marsters specially for the game. After the match there will be a super at the hotel adjoining the park, given by the Pastime Club to the players and specially invited guests, at which old-time speeches, toasts, songs, &c., will be given. Messrs. Barre, Furey, Biggs, Quevedo and others of the old Pastime club have the matter in hand and the event bids fair to be one of the most noteworthy of the season in the local base ball arena., quoting the Brooklyn Eagle |
