Text | [Atlantic vs. Athletic 7/12/1869] The return game of the social series between the Athletics, of this city, and the Atlantics, of Brooklyn, was played last Monday afternoon, at Seventeenth street and Columbia avenue. The ground presented a very animated scene, a living wall of spectators, some eight or ten individuals deep, surrounded the whole area, and the embankments outside the grounds were also occupied by an immense crowd. The outside delegation being fully as large as that of the Athletic-Cincinnati game. Considerable money was invested at odds on the Atlantics prior to the game; but as soon as it was known that Smith and Start would not play with the Atlantics, the betting veered around to even on the Athletics. |
