Comment | Two Newark papers covered this game as an amusing interlude. A crowd of 300 to 400 was reported, a "large proportion" of which were female. It was described as the "old-time stinging" game, one that showed how much 'Base Ball' had changed in the past two decades. Some contrasts: Bats: instead of "nicely rounded ash," bats included "miniature bread shovels" and "exaggerated exercise clubs" Bases: "wooden stakes, some fifteen inches high." Pitches: intentionally hittable. Foul Outs: "tick and catch," with fouls "ignored." Innings: all-out-side-out. Foul territory: None. Baserunning outs: By "burning." Bound rule: Out if caught on fly or one or three bounces. John Zinn reports (email of 11/20/2020) that the Antiquarian Knickerbocker Club played such games annually after the Civil War.
