Description

(return match)

(NYC: “a victory for the Eckfords, who have yet to learn what defeat is this season. The game was exceedingly well played on both sides, and the Stars especially acquitted themselves creditably on the occasion. The American cricket match happening on the same day, and there being several base ball players in the two elevens, we attended that match, and therefore we are obliged to refer to the score for the particulars of the game.”)
