[Olympic of Washington vs. Athletic 8/5/1871] The fourth game between the Athletics, of this city, and the Olympics, of Washington, was played yesterday... The Olympics could only muster seven men, Waterman and Allison being absent, and in this emergency, Rastall of the Olympics of this city, and Halback of the Experts, filled the vacancies existing on their nine. The Athletics had also a substitute, Bechtel playing in the place of Meyerle, who is still unable to take part in a game. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury August 6, 1871
