The Eagle Club have issued the following card: “New York, September 5, 1871.–To the Baseball public:–For three years the Eagle Baseball Club have played the Atlantics on their own grounds, where the latter have taken all the gate-money. On the 4th of September the Atlantics agreed to play the Eagles at Hoboken, N.J., but when the Eagles arrived there they found a letter from the Atlantics declining to play the Eagles except on inclosed ground. The Eagles regarded this back out by the Atlantics as neither fair nor square, and a decided show of the white feather by the Atlantics. George C. Phillips, Secretary Eagle Baseball Club.
