[St. Louis vs. Atlantic 7/12/1875] The St. Louis Club did not present their full team, as neither Bradley nor Miller were in the nine, they being reserved for the Mutual match. [They were not in the lineup.] New York Clipper July 17, 1875

a bulletin board by the scorers' table

[Star of Covington vs. Buckeye of Columbus 7/8/1875] The Buckeyes on this occasion sported for the first item their elegant new pennant, presented to by club by one of its admirers' and as its beauteous folds were given to the breeze, the defiant rippling of its fair white field seemed to presage a certain victory for the gallant club whose name it bore. That was the poetical view of it. Stern reality, in the shape of the bulletin-board near the scorer's table, said: “Ninth inning—Stars, 9; Buckeyes, 2.” New York Clipper July 17, 1875
