The Brooklyn Excelsior Club had been hosted in Maryland by the Baltimore Excelsior Club two days before and now visited Philadelphia on their long weekend tour. Excelsior played an all-Philadelphia nine made up of men selected from the Athletic, Olympic, Benedict, Winona, Equity, and United clubs. Brooklyn won the game, played at the Camac Woods ground in the city, by a score of 15 runs to 4, in nine innings. (By John Osborne)
