Text	[Trenton vs. Resolute of Elizabeth 8/15/1871] The Trenton Club visited Elizabeth...and, judging from the accounts in the local papers, the visitors did not add to their reputation as a reputable club of the New Jersey amateur fraternity on the occasion. The Elizabeth Herald states: The visitors arrived at about 1:30 P.M. with a large crowd of hangers-on, and proceeded to the grounds. Some dissatisfaction was felt by the Resolutes on account of the Trentonians presenting Lovett, as pitcher, and Gummere as centre fielder, both of these men having played in other clubs, in violation of the rules. The next matter to be settled was the selection of an umpire. However, after a good deal of talk, Mr. Radcliffe was agreed upon, with the understanding that the Resolutes should have the privilege of changing him if they became dissatisfied with his decisions.
