Baltimore Defeats Olympics. Score 6 to 2.
New York Times
Washington. April 18, 1872

An exciting game of Base Ball was played in our nation's capitol to-day, as 452 spectators watched the Olympics lose the first match in their defense of the whip-pennant. SPAULDING pitched the ball for his new team with tremendous vigor, allowing the Olympics to drive home only two runs in 13 innings. MACK had a memorable day at the bat, collecting four safe hits in six times at bat.
