Text	...the fifth game of the series between the Rockfords and Mutuals...the Mutuals having already won their series. The daily papers erroneously termed this latter match an “exhibition” game. It was not so, as it was the fifth game of the regular championship series between them, and for that reason important, as in the case of ties on series of games then these single regular games will count, whereas regularly announced exhibition contests will not. New York Sunday Mercury September 10, 1871 [Forest City of Cleveland vs. Athletic 9/7/1871] The fourth game of this season between the Athletics and the Forest City, of Cleveland, was played on Thursday last... The attendance was rather limited, which may be accounted for on the ground of its not being a game for the championship–the Athletics having won the three first games of the series.
