Text	"Great Match for the Championship. Atlantic vs. Eckford. The Atlantics Victorious" New York Clipper Volume 8, number 30 (November 10, 1860), page 237, column 1. The article includes a play-by-account of the game, and unusually detailed box scores, including fielding plays and a five-column "how put out" table. Also included were counts for "passed balls on which bases were run" [4], "struck out" [1], "catches missed on the fly" [9, by six named players], "catches missed on the bound" [2], and "times left on base" [9] The article notes: "the results of the games this season between the Atlantics and the Excelsiors led them [sic] latter to withdraw entirely from the battle for the championship, which next season will lay between the Eckfords and Atlantics." Note: So - is this game commonly taken as the New York area championship tilt? Facsimile from the Mears Collection scrapbooks provided by Craig Waff, September 2008.
