Text | [Mutual vs. Irvington 9/6/1867] The game took a favorable turn for the Mutuals from the start, their good batting giving them nine runs in the first four innings, while the Irvingtons, not being able to hit Martin’s “slow twisters,” made but two. New York Clipper September 14, 1867 splitting the gate We are happy in being able to announce that the Athletics have taken our advice and have adjusted their “short-coming” with the Atlantics, who have consented to play them on the Union Ground on Monday next. Should the day prove stormy, the game will take place on Tuesday. The Athletics cheated the Atlantics out of $500, in withholding that amount of the gate money. Not being able to pay this sum, they do the next best thing, they agree to play the third game, which was to have been played on neutral ground, (one half of the receipts of which would have gone to the Athletics,) on the Union Ground, the Atlantics to receive all the proceeds.
