Athletics defeat the Red Stockings--Score 9 to 3
New York Times
Boston. September 5, 1872.
The base-ball match in this city today was highly anticipated, as the Athletic of Philadelphia have won 21 Association contests this season and the Red Stockings have won 23 Association contests. On this day, the Athletic continued their fine play of late, handily winning their seventh consecutive match contest. MCBRIDE, of the Athletics, was feeling the effects of a long, hot summer, and as such, could not pitch the ball to-day. No matter, as FISCHER did a remarkable job in his role of switch pitcher. Here is the score

                            The Innings
                  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
Athletic..........0  2  0  2  2  0  3  0  0 - 9
Red Stockings.....2  1  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 - 3
