Athletics Defeat Mutuals in Two Games
New York Times
September 3, 1872
Yesterday at the Jefferson Street Ground in Philadelphia and to-day at the Union Grounds in the Metropolis, the Athletics and the Mutuals met for a game of base-ball. In both instances, the Athletics proved superior, by a score of 11 to 8 yesterday, and by a score of 8 to 5 this afternoon. The game in this city was better contested, the outcome in doubt until Philadelphia tallied three in the 10th inning. The Philadelphia club has now been the victors in six consecutive matches.
