Description	Excelsior (Brooklyn, E.D.) 27 Niagara (South Brooklyn) 6 (return match - 5 innings, due to darkness) (PSOT: “In consequence of unavoidable circumstances, the Excelsiors played two innings with but three of their first nine, and with but seven players in all; yet, notwithstanding the odds against them, they made a better proportioned score than the first match.”)
