It's not called a ''match.'' The phrase appears twice in print, one in the NYTimes and the other in the Herald, and both times were pre-1890. The reason is England had two sports which were already referred to as a 'match.'' The first was 'Rounders'' - sort of the origin of baseball; the second was Cricket.
