Description

"The games of base ball and town ball by many are preferred to cricket. In the way of town ball, the people of Germantown profess an ability to beat any other players that can be produced. To give color to their pretensions, the Germantowners are getting up a grand match of town ball, to take place on the afternoon of Thanksgiving day, at the corner of Queen street and plank road. The Marion and Honey Run Ball Clubs, of Germantown, are the contestants. Each club will consist of twenty practical players. The National Band is engaged for the occasion, and should the weather prove favorable, many ladies will probably be present. The match will be interesting. First ball to be given at 1 ½ o’clock. Umpires and a referee have been appointed, and there will doubtless be a good time among the lovers of this invigorating sport."

[North American and United States Gazette (Philadelphia), November 21, 1859]
