[Athletic vs. Rockford 6/18/1868] One old chap had faith even in the Rockford Club, when the Athletics were at the bat for the last time, the Rockford players having been disposed of for two runs, “The game’s not over yet,” he kept asserting. “But it is,” said a disinterested bystander. “Your club have had their last show at the bat.” “I don’t care,” he continued; “the game’s not over.” A sporting reporter, who must have netted something handsome in his investments, went for the old chap to induce him to make a wager, but he was not on it.
