Description | (PSOT: “The game was called at one o’clock and thirty minutes, the time appointed, when the Vernons not having enough upon the ground, the Neptunes waited forty minutes after time. The Vernons, before this, offered to surrender their ball (they being the challenging club), which the Neptunes would not accept, as they had come to play. The Vernons having choice of innings, took the last one; and the Neptunes, at the bat, got ‘skunked’ the first innings. It beginning to rain on the third inning, the playing was not as good as might be. The catching of the Vernon was as good as the batting of the Neptune, which was excellent. If they have a clear day for the return, we expect to see some good playing by these clubs, as they are well matched. But there is one thing; pitcher of the Neptune, don’t pitch your balls so wild next time.”) |
