Description

Priam (Troy) 46

National (Lansingburgh) 42

(Troy Daily Whig (1): “The Priam Club played very well indeed, and their steady batting and some good catching gave them the victory.  …  The day was very cold and windy, so that the players all had numb fingers, but quite a number of spectators were present, among them a good sprinkling from the Victory Club, whose sympathies seemed cordially in favor of their Troy brethren. / At the conclusion of the game Mr. Twing presented the ball on behalf of his Club in a really fine speech, full of apt poetical quotations.  Mr. Anthony responded in a happy vein.  All passed off pleasantly.”)

(Troy Daily Whig (2): “The conduct of the former club [National], at its recent match with the Priam, has been severely criticized.  The Lansingburgh players disputed the decisions of the umpire, attempted to ‘argue the point’ with him, and did other acts in violation of the rules and regulations.  This is wrong, and any club gyuilty of such conduct cannot expect recognition from other organizations.”)
