This game appears on the Protoball Games Tabulation [WNY table} compiled by Craig Waff. It was reported by Porter's Spirit on July 24 1858. The first game used a 3-out-side-out rules and used 9 innings. The second game, won 27-23 by Batavia, seems to reflect a one-out-side-out playing rule. It is possible that by prior agreement one game followed Association rules and the other didn't.
Both Batavia and Alexander are 30-35 miles E of Buffalo, and the two towns are about 10 miles apart.
