• Newark Club of Newark v Olympic Club of Newark on 13 July 1855  + (<p>Based on current research, this a … <p>Based on current research, this appears to be the first game played between two New Jersey clubs by New York rules.  The two teams played previously on June 13th, but based on the available information, they didn't use New York rules.  For this game, the short article and rough box score show nine players on a side and a 31-10 score.  The total of 31 runs is in excess of the Knickerbocker's 21, but it may be that the Newark Club batted first and went beyond 21 before the side was retired.  In addition a New York Clipper article, date unknown, said that the Newark Club won with "ten runs to spare" and there could also be a number of explanations why the game went on after the Newark Club scored 21 runs.  The next potential game by New York rules between New Jersey clubs was the Newark Club's 27 - 19 win over the Newark Juniors on 9/5/1855.  Here again there were nine players on a team and the score is closer to what we might expect by Knickerbocker rules.</p>rbocker rules.</p>)
