| Text | [Eckford vs. Atlantic 7/8/1859] We have...in our report noticed only those passes which were of consequence, or had an effect upon the runs. Brown, whose fingers were in anything but playing order, did not make his usual effort to stop balls when the bases were unoccupied. New York Sunday Mercury July 10, 1859 up and comers and old fogies CHAMPION CLUB OF YORKVILLE.–This is the best of the Junior Clubs of this city, and as its members have now grown pretty well towards manhood, we learn that they intend soon to re-organize themselves into a senior club. Whether this movement will be made this season or at the commencement of next, we are not informed. They have amongst them some of the best players on this Island, and take their nine altogether; there are but few clubs that can excel them. When they become a senior club, we should like to see them matched with some of the old fogy clubs at Hoboken, who put on a great many airs, assume to know all about ball-laying, and claim to be first class clubs on the strength of their former reputation. It will not be forgotten how the “Mutuals” knocked the bottoms out of these rickety old concerns last year, and all the Brooklyn clubs manage to give them a good drubbing every time they have an encounter. Let some of them send the “Champions” a challenge. New York Atlas July 10, 1859 |
