| Description | (Porter’s Spirit of the Times: “A large number of persons were at Hamilton Square … to witness this match. The Champion’s while a junior club acquired and were deserving of an exalted reputation, as it very seldom occurs that a body of more expert players rally under the colors of any one club. We do not think they play as well now, as they did in the Summer of 1858. Their fielding was, during most of Wednesday, poor, especially in throwing to their bases, which was once the Champion boys’ forte. When both clubs had finished their sixth innings, the score stood Champion 19, Continental 13. The Champions, at this state of the game, were a little too sure of winning, and with careless playing were soon tipped up. The Continentals brought a first-rate nine in the field, and although their fielding was at times hardly above mediocrity, their batting was very good and thorough, and contributed greatly to their success.”) |
