[Atlantics vs. Eureka in Newark 8/18/1865] The Atlantics did not have one of the lively bounding balls they play with on their own grounds in this game, and hence they were placed more on an equality with their opponents, the game being more of a trial of skill in the fielding department than usual. The convention next winter will have to regulate the composition of a ball, so as to keep them from being made so lively, otherwise the strongest batting nine will always have it in their power to win. [the Atlantics won 21-20]
