The professional clubs have decided to slack up in their games in August and to play up well in September and October. August is the poorest month of the season for New York audiences, as the past three seasons have fully proved, especially the first two weeks. New York Clipper July 19, 1873

The usual summer lull in the base ball world is now upon us, and the nines are taking what recuperation they can get from a spell of excusable idleness. The season has been well pushed, and the three months of incessant activity have exhausted the strength of several nines, and these are in “good condition for a rest.” The audiences, too, during July and the first of August, are not sufficient large in any of the cities to warrant a continuance of the hot campaigns of May and June. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch July 20, 1873
