* Early baseball games
The back page has: "The Field - Base Ball" with summaries and box scores of three baseball games (see). The summary of the match between the Atlantics and the Empires states in part: "...Pratt pitched to perfection. Charley Smith took the position of catcher admirably....Start, Crane and Pratt did the tall batting....". The Atlantics won the game by a score of 65-3.
Eight pages, uncut and untrimmed, a few small margin tears, generally good.
