Text | [Hartford vs. Mutual 7/26/1874] The sixth game of the series between these clubs took place on the Union Grounds, Brooklyn, on July 26, in the presence of about three or four hundred spectators only, the trip of the Connecticut team to this city and Philadelphia this month not paying expenses, as their Philadelphia game did not yield over fifty dollars, and their two New York matches but little more. In fact, professional contests do not pay in this city about this period of the season,... and the little power the Mutuals have left themselves to attract a large crowd, they being now very generally regarded as the least reliable nine of the fraternity–a reputation they have brought upon themselves by their lack of harmony in their play, and the peculiar tactics of two or three members of the nine. The fact is, a new New York nine is wanted. |
