Description

Wright and Peverelly list this game.  Research by Eric Miklich casts some doubt as to whether this game was played between first nines and hence, whether it should be counted in the final season tally for the Eckford's NABBP record for that season.  He has not been able to locate a box score and cites the Clipper's lack of coverage on the game in their May 24 and May 31 issues and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle's labeling of the game between the Powhatan and Star Clubs of May 21 as the first game of the season between first nines.
