Text	[Chelsea of Brooklyn vs. Flyaway of New York 9/24/1875] Ten thousand people were present at the game at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, yesterday afternoon, to witness the return game between the Chelseas of Brooklyn, and the Flyaways, of this city. This is good proof that the interest in professional playing has faded out, and that those who like to see the game played earnestly and honestly flock to see the amateurs play, as this was the largest crowd that has assembled at any game this season. New York Herald September 25, 1875 disbanded clubs, released players and the sixty day rule We notice that there has been a protest entered against the playing of Higham, simply on the plea of an erroneous wording of the rule governing the eligibility of players, by the accidental insertion of the word “and” instead of “or.” If a club disbands, that fact in itself releases all players and cancels their engagements. To insert a special clause, therefore, requiring a written release, would be superfluous, and it never was done for that purpose. The clause requiring a written release was advocated and introduced by Harry Wright himself to cover just such a case as that of Harry Higham, he quoting an instance wherein he might engage a player on trial for a month to fill a certain position, and he, not filling it, as required, is given a written release, as the rule requires. But for such a clause such a player would be debarred from joining another club for sixty days, a positive injustice to an honest player, who, though he might not be able to fill the one position required, might be fully competent for another.
