the saloon keepers considered it sissy.
Their interests were taken up with
more masculine sports when the
earliest intercity base ball games were
in progress. John Morrissy had shaved
off his black besrd-which made him
look like Victorian poet-and gone
into training to fight the Benicia Boy
for the championship of America.
Red Deer, the Seneca Indian, was rum
ming against race horses in Chicago
and beating them. Yankee Sullivan
had been murdered by Vigilantess in
California. Mr. Wilkes was shocked
by correspondents account of a
women's plank-walking match in
Poughkeepsie, won by a disgrace to
her sex known as the Highland Maid
In so hours. So base ball got under
way in the United States with neither
the blessing nor the knowledge of the
sporting element Of the population.
It had been kept out of contact with
the gutter brats of sport until it sup
posedly had attained enough strength
and virility to maintain its own dignity.
The game emerged from behind the
high fences Of the better classes"
badly spoiled by its upbringing. But
its lowly birth soon was evident. There
was "a deep-seated tendency toward
democracy in the blood of the game.
Even in the Summer of 1858 more
plebian Brooklyn had recruited q
couple of O'Briens from the tenements
to play against the Wadsworths and
Van Colts Of Manhattan and before
the first series was over some of the
undighihed Brooklynites had brought
the game into disgrace by "noisily
criticizing the umpire" =,

the substitution of Davis for Wads-
worth who, in the next inning, made
q beautiful catch of a fly in the mid
die long field, and subsequently an
other one; but he also made miss
on q ball which, If he had held 1t,
would have immortalized him as a
fielder. Holder was the only one who
made a clean home strike and a
beauty it was, clear out of the middle
field, which brought him to the home
base amidst the most unbounded ap-
plause. Other players received their
share of applause, particularly Van
Cott for judiciously stealing runs, and
Wright and P. O'Brien for catches on
the ny in the long fields.
"After the match was concluded
the players and some invited guests
were invited to the course room and
refreshments were furnished. Judge
Van Colt of the Gotham club pro-
posed q toast, Health, wealth and
prosperity to members of the Brook

the second game of the series, played
on the same grounds the afternoon of
August "a, under gloomy skies and
with the field slippery from a light
drizzle, Brooklyn beat New York by
the score of 20 to 8. Despite the
weather, wrote the correspondent Of

"The coup d'oeil Of the course was
brilliant 10 the extreme. The noble
playground, 50 admirably suited for
the purpose, wore the aspect Of a ver-
dant, velvet area whilst every side
around it teemed with life in gay
attire and holiday spirits. The vast
facade of the grandstand presented
the aspect of q parterre of flowers,
thanks to the presence of the galaxy
Of youth and beauty in female form
who, smiling on the scene. nerved the
players to their task and urged them,
like true knights of old. to do their
devoirs before their ladyes fair.
1.-THE day was gloriously fine, not
too warm to be unpleasant either to
the players or the spectators, but just
warm enough to be thoroughly enjoy
able. No spirituous liquors were per-
mitted to be sold on the ground, but
there was an abundance of the HARM
less lager and savory viands to give
zest to the draught. The various base
ball clubs of New York and Brooklyn
mustered in force, many of them in
elegantly appointed equipages drawn
by six and eight horses.
'The Brooklyn nine went first to
the bat and after a pretty sharp con-
test and good display on both sides
three runs were scored. New York fol-
lowed and went out for nothing In the
fourth inning Brooklyn was put hors
du combat for nothing and New York
scored four runs, which raised the
dropping spirits of old Manhattan. In
the fifth inning both sides played with
remarkable spirit, Brooklyn scoring
four runs whilst New York put seven
to their score. In the eighth inning
four were made by Brooklyn and five
by the New York players, leaving the
game standing, Brooklyn, Is; New
York, 20. In the ninth inning for
Brooklyn this result was not changed,
as they were put out for nothing, which
gave the victory to New York. But
the Brooklyn boys determined to give
the New Workers final turn and de-
manded they 60 in for their ninth
inning-which they did and were as
speedily polished OF for nothing, as
the Brooklyn side had been. The play
on both sides was Of the very highest
order.

But the gambling possibilities of the

A BOVE all, It was a game which
the hoop-skirted girls could at
tend without losing their regulations.
At that time women seen at any other
sporting events were ostracized from
polite society. But only respectable
young men played base ball and d
girls character was perfectly safe
among them. Canopies were erected
to protect the fair spectators from the
sun, so they need run no risk of ac-
quiring an Questionable and plebian
coat of tan. The girls might, if they
wished. even lead by the hands their
little brothers, dressed in "velvet toque
with small ostrich plume, blue velvet
frock trimmed with silk and panta-
looms trimmed with marten fur''-the
prescribed attire for fashionable little
boys that year.
There were IA competing clubs
around New York and Brooklyn in
1858. The Summer before they had
organized themselves into a league
and formulated the rules of the game
Intense rivalry developed between the
two cities. For one thing, the Brook
lyn ball players were not quite so
aristocratic as the New Yorkers and
some of the teams had added one or
more wild Irish teamsters with good
throwing arms practice which was
frowned upon. Late in June, when
the Knickerbockers of New York
played the Excelsiors OF Brooklyn,
there was an attendance of 5000 at
the game. The New York team with
its blue -blooded players lost, 81 to 13.
This led to the challenge for a series
Of three games between picked mines
from all the teams of the two cities.
The first game was played on the
afternoon of July 16, 1858. The
society, Of both cities turned out in
great numbers, while the sporting
element loitered around Tom Hyer's
saloon on Park RoW laying bets on
the Morrissy- -Heenan set-to.
THE first game of this first base ball
series between two cities was re-
corded enthusiastically by MIR. wilkes:
