It is likely the Bowdoin team played under the Massachusetts rules. The headquarters was near Bowdoin street. See John Thorn mlb blog piece.

According to an article I found in the May 8, 1860 Boston Evening Transcript (on newspapers.com), and on the Protoball.org website, it looks like the Bowdoin Club played under the new (at the time) New York Rules.
