There was a sell-out element in the [Cincinnati] nine when it started last May, but fortune favored the game here, and by a series of bad management and managerial kicking the Club heaped up so many defeats that the boys who were ready to fish never got one nibble. After the present directory took charge and reorganized the Club, they had to do the best they could and build up the nine out of what material they could find unemployed. They succeeded so well that after Cummings and Hasting had been tried and shelved, and Mitchell and Miller substituted, the club played twenty-five games with the Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and Indianapolis Clubs, of which they won twelve, lost eleven and tied two.
