Measuring approximately 5 1/2" x 3 1/8", double-sided scorecard for a May 29, 1887 game between Wesleyan and Manhattan Universities.  Fully scored, the Manhattan team appears to have come back from a 14-5 deficit with a ten-run ninth inning.  Lightly soiled, some paper loss and remnants appear at the right edge of the Wesleyan side.  The most interesting component of this piece, however, advertises what is likely Manhattan's next game, against the Cuban Giants (perhaps the Cuban X-Giants or "Original Cuban Giants").
