1870 Brooklyn Baseball Game With Box Scores...
Item # 201226
August 19, 1870
THE NEW YORK TIMES, Aug. 19, 1870 On pg. 2 under " Base- Ball" is a nice summary and box score of a match between Forest City and the Eckford clubs played at Brooklyn. Mentions the unlikelihood of another shutout "... but the introduction of non-elastic balls in first class contests has had such an effect in improving the displays in the field, that a nines retirement for blank scores in a match is... no longer a novelty." Mentions the fine play of E. White and J. White. Forest City won, 13-0. Occasional foxing, otherwise in very nice condition. 8 pages.
