Chicago Plays Final Association Game; Defeats Philadelphia; Score 10 to 9.
New York Times
October 30, 1871
The White Stockings met the Athletics in the Metropolis to-day, playing the final scheduled game of the 1871 National Association season. The White Stockings, having been outfitted with uniforms and equipment provided by the other Association clubs, were permitted to host the Athletics here at Union Grounds. The victory a fitting conclusion to a dark month for the Chicagos. But the tragedy in Chicago is not to distract from the fine season of the Olympics. They have proved themselves the class of Association, striking the ball well from May to October, and the pitching of STEARNS was incomparable.
