Sixty years ago liasebail fans were

according to a summary of a game

The account uf the contest has l<een
found in an agr yellowed copy of
Wilke's Spirit of the Times, a paprr
long sine«* discontinued, that was an I
authority on sport.
Th« rival teams i«>th of which
bore the name *'Excelsior«’* repre
wnted Brooklyn and Baltimore, and
they drew an attendance of three
thousand fans The spectator« were
not over-orderly, for in the account I
there is mention of “occasional an
noyances from the crowd pressing
too dose upon the catcher.“
Rules as to who could participate
were lax, it seem«
Th« regular
Baltimore pitcher there was only
one failed to appear, but the man­
ager was not a !<■*» for a substitute;
“Mr. I’alchen, who came out to wit­
ness the game, kindly volunteered
to pitch and exhibited beautiful
play.”
How Iwautiful it was to Brook­
lyn may he judged from the fact
that the invaders front the {«anks of
East River made fifty-one runs in
the course of the busy afternoon
If it was Mr Patcbcn'a puri>u»r to
serve up balls that could ta easily
hit. he succeeded admirably. The
Brooklyn pitcher, however, was not
ao accommodating; he allowed six
runs, a record tatter than some of
tha Brooklyn twirlers make at the
present lime
