In baseball news, the Philadelphia Athletic Club touring team visits New York City

The baseball team of the Philadelphia Athletic Club, along with around twenty friends, paid a visit to the New York City area to play several games. In the afternoon, in South Brooklyn, they defeated the Excelsior Club 18-17 over ten innings in what observers called an excellent match watched by a crowd of more than three thousand people.  The visitors were scheduled to play the Mutual Club in Hoboken the next day.  (By John Osborne)
