[Keystones vs. Atlantics 10/3/1867] The attendance was not large, as the public will not pay 25 cents to see anything but a first-class match for the championship. The colored game [Unique of Brooklyn vs. Excelsior of Philadelphia] on the Satellite grounds, also operated to the disadvantage of the Union ground, drawing away many who almost invariably turn out to see the Champions play.
