| Text | The Resolutes...not only played their first championship game totally unprepared for such a meeting–they not even having played a practice game or been in the field at all before last Monday–but they failed to give our citizens who patronize the game the least notice of their intended match. Now, club managers require to be more than usually on the alert this season, in giving notice of games to be played; and, moreover, they must arrange their contests in such form as to insure the prospect of an interesting trial of skill, or they will find their club matches witnessed by very few paying spectators. New York Sunday Mercury May 4, 1873 The Resolute Club must be rich, judging from their indifference to gate-money, shown by their neglect to give due publicity to games which take place at Waverley. New York Sunday Mercury May 11, 1873 [Philadelphia vs. Resolute 4/28/1873] ...the attendance [was] small (for which the New York papers were responsible, they having stated that the game would take place in Philadelphia)... Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch May 4, 1873 [The NY Sunday Mercury did in fact state the game would be in Philadelphia.] |
