The Philadelphia Inquirer, July 12, 1867 and Aug. 2, 1867, reports on a three game match for the state championship of Delaware between the Diamond State and Wawasset clubs of Wilmington. The Wawasset BBC won the first game, the 2nd was won by Diamond State 40-29 on July 11, and the third game, in Wilmington on Aug. 1, resulted in a forfeit by Diamond State when they tried to bring in some Philadelphia ringers and the umpire refused to let them play.
