This game appears in the Protoball Games Tabulation (NYC table) compiled by Craig Waff. It is reported in Peverelly, page 79. Mineola, Long Island is about 15 miles E of mid-Brooklyn.
Query: Why was this game played in Mineola: was that the home of the Washington Club? Weren't they located in Williamsburg in Brooklyn?
