Score 31 to 8.
New York Times
Fort Wayne. July 20, 1871
The 158 spectators who were at the Kekionga Base Ball Grounds to-day paid their $.40 to watch a professional base-ball match. Not a one would be taken to task for thinking that only one professional nine showed up. The boys from Fort Wayne did not fare well against the heavy bats of the Philadelphias. In the first inning, Philadelphia drove home eight runs, in the fourth inning there were ten more scores, until in the end, thirty-one tallies stood on the board for Philadelphia. MEYERLE had a brilliant day at the bat, coming to bat eight times, securing his place on the base-paths all eight times, driving home six scores while scoring five times himself.
