| Description | (NYT: “Admission to the ground, 10c.”) (BDE (3): “This is the first match on record that has resulted in nine innings being played without each party making runs. … This last match is a fitting close of the season for the Excelsiors, who, in every respect have gone through the season with great credit to themselves and advantage to the game. On the occasion in question the St. George nine were players selected for their ability as fielders, and the pitcher and catcher were experienced ball players; whereas the Excelsiors had two of their muffin players in their nine. The fact is it was a mere practice game for them. Judging from the result we think we could name two or three of our junior clubs that could easily take down the St. George nine at base ball.”) |
