[Mutuals vs. Athletics 8/28/1867] The game was appointed for 2, P.M., but at noon not a seat was to be found on the grounds for love or money. The Athletic grounds can been seen from a number of buildings and high places surrounding it, and these choice localities were held at a premium at an early hour. The street fronting the entrance-way was blocked with stages and coaches filled with people standing up to see the game, while the trees never before bore some masses of human fruit.
