Yesterday was a large occasion for Cincinnati, and it is well it was, else there would have been some of our citizens crowded out into to-day so much puffed up were the masses. It was the day when base ball was to be rebaptized; the day when the old Red Stocking prestige was to be pushed forward by an initiatory game; the day when the new-born club was to measure bats with the celebrated Chicago White Stockings, which had been the death of Cincinnati's pride in 1871. And it almost makes the books balance when we are able this morning to record a victory for our new club of 13 to 5. Cincinnati Daily Enquirer August 10, 1875 [the roster bears considerable overlap with the Cincinnati roster of 1876.]
