| Text | We are again under obligation to our obliging statistical contributor, Mr. Frank Rivers, for an interesting tabular statement of comparison of last season’s play of the Athletics, Atlantics and Unions, in their games with the same clubs. In a note of the subject, he says– “Year before last the chief aspirants of the championship were the Athletic, Atlantic and Union clubs. During the early part of last year each of these clubs started on a tour through the west, and since these clubs have played with similar clubs in a majority of matches, I have prepared the following tables, taking all games in which they have played with the same clubs. It is curious to notice how the ranks of the players change, when averaged with different clubs. I have heretofore been accustomed, during the winter, to compare the averages of the leading clubs in the same manner as the tables I sent you before. I had thus many curious tables. I had a file of the Clipper and other papers for several seasons back, since 1862, and was thus enabled to combine season after season; but, unfortunately, while removing last July from New York my files were lost–how, I know not–so I have to be content with the present season, and some few matches which I copied in a book.” New York Clipper February 13, 1869 We are pleased to announce to our readers that we have effected an engagement with Mr. Frank P. Rivers, of Port Richmond, Staten Island, N.Y., one of the ablest base ball statisticians in the country, to write for our paper. We have several valuable statistic from his pen which we are getting up in neat style, and which will be published shortly. National Chronicle April 17, 1869 |
