Description	"A game of base ball has been played in Philadelphia between the Olympics and the Pythians, a colored club, which resulted in favor of the former. The game from its novelty, as it was the first played in that city between the two races, drew out a large crowd of spectators." Played in September 1869, it is believed to be the first game played between black and white clubs.
