Six-thirty the next evening Bill sat in the open bay window of his apartment as he puffed on a Cuban cigar and proofed the newspaper copy he had forwarded to Matt for the evening’s newspaper to be put out for the club members. Usually he selected an article of the War Between the States but a few articles caught his eye and he decided to give the club members something lighter to chat about.

The article was dated October 1, 1865 and that would be the latest date that the club members would be allowed to speak of, . . . as though they were dining on October 1, 1865. Should they speak of an event that took place the following day, they would be ‘speaking out of club-time’ and as that was the club’s only rule, it was strongly frowned upon. He folded the specially made, thick, yellowed newsprint and flicked his ash in a tall, silver ashtray. The movement made Samson open his eyes for a moment.

The Game Of Base Ball.

PHILADELPHIA, Sunday, Oct. 1, 1865

In the match game between the Athletics and the Nationals, of Jersey City, yesterday, the former beat the latter by a score of 114 to 2, in a full game of 9 innings. More than 5,000 spectators witnessed the contest, over 500 of whom were ladies. This is the greatest game ever played. On Monday, the Pastimes, of Baltimore, a superior organization, will play with the Athletics in Philadelphia. A grand banquet will be given to the Pastimes at the St. James Hotel after the game. The long pending contest between the Atlantics and the Athletics is a common topic hereabouts. 50,000 spectators will witness this game.
