Text | [reporting on the upcoming Silver Ball match] Mr. Queen, the proprietor of the New York Clipper, desiring of closing the season with a grand match, could see of no better way than a contest between new York and Brooklyn, and he generously offered to donate a silver ball to the nine which the Umpire shall decide as victorious, and placing the matter in the hands of the Clipper base ball reporter, Mr. Henry Chadwick, which gentleman has succeeded in completing the necessary arrangements, and making a judicious selection of the two nines, which is equal if not the best nines that could be chosen in either city. Like every other undertaking it has obstacles to surmount, and the Sunday Mercury, (who by the way was an advocator of such matches, once upon a time,) has changed its view, and has given place to several articles in its columns, which, if we had not seen without own eyes, we should certainly have doubted their emanating from that source. |
