[Mutual vs. Boston 6/28/1873] These clubs were to have played their fifth championship match at Boston, Mass., on June 28, but owing to the wet and slipper condition of the ground the game was changed to an exhibition one. When the managers decided upon the change the people were notified, and those who wished were allowed to visit the box-office and receive the price of their admission. Quite a number, however, waited until the third inning, and then requested their money returned. Of course this demand was not granted, and they thought themselves wronged.
