This is the published information.
Kind of cool……13 players were selected from each team……..they were selected by ballot by the student body of each school. You had to play the entire game and substitution was only if you were declared disabled. Robert Beecher was the pitcher for Williams, he did hurt his arm but could not leave the game or be substituted, and instead he had to trade positions with another player from the field.
Neither team wore uniforms but the Williams players sported club belts. Each team provided a baseball and a bat. The baseball was a lead pellet wound with yarn and then covered by calfskin. An inning consisted of one out per team but the game still took a very long time it started at 11;00 AM and finished around 2:30.
There was of course a recess between the fifth and sixth innings much like in cricket.
I want one of these club belts if someone has one!!! : )-
