Pg. 3 has: "The National Game Atlantic vs. Alpha".

The great advantage which this ground possesses was plainly shown, as in two hours after the storm ceased the ground was in good condition for play". Has a few observations about the game won by the Atlantics, 34-2. Includes the box score which lists Pike as playing 2nd base, and in the statistics, he made 4 Fly Catches and 3 assists.
