Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Ten: Saturday 25 May 1867

It was a low scoring week as the Metropolitan League season reached the one-third stage, with all teams now having played each other twice. The defending champions City of London are on top after ten games as they held on to beat Angel Islington. City Club had taken a 3-1 lead with two third inning runs, but had to withstand a ninth inning comeback as Angel cut the lead and threatened, but ultimately failed, to tie it.

Angel have now dropped out of second place to be replaced by Clapham Common, who stole a win from the hands of the Old Westminsters. Common trailed 1-0 in the ninth inning, but tied the game with a home run and then scored the winning run in the tenth.

Marylebone were not able to build on their first win of the season despite outhitting Kensington Victoria. The Regents could not get a run home while Victoria scored one in the fifth and another in the sixth for the win.

Scores:
City of London Club 3-2 Angel Islington
Old Westminsters 1-2 Clapham Common (10 innings)
Marylebone Regents 0-2 Kensington Victoria

Standings:
City of London Club 8-2
Clapham Common 7-3
Angel Islington 6-4
Kensington Victoria 4-6
Old Westminsters 4-6
Marylebone Regents 1-9
