Once more do we find the Mutual Club of this city closing a season without an official record of their season’s play, their score book having been filled with incomplete records of the games played. All data for getting at the averages of the club must therefore be more or less irregular, or incorrect. New York Sunday Mercury November 26, 1871

The Mutual Club have closed their season, with an incomplete record of the work of the several members of the nine, and, in consequence, it will be impossible to rightly credit any one with their achievements. When will organizations learn the value of keeping a correct book of reference? It would seem that one of the chief points of advantage to a professional club would be something they could consult while making their engagements for the next season. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch November 26, 1871
