| Text | The Mutuals, of New York city, will be re-organized for the coming season, and have already secured three of the best players of the Atlantics, viz: Start, Ferguson and Smith... Wm. M. Tweed has advanced a large sum of money to the club, and if a man is a good player, of high reputation and sober habits, he can command his own price for the season. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury January 8, 1871 In New York, the Directors of the Mutual Club, having their own treasury and the private wealth of William M. Tweed, the “big injun” of Tammany to draw upon, will present a nine stronger by far than any they have ever yet placed in the field. A lively competition has been going on between this club and the White Stockings, of Chicago, for the services of Ferguson and Start, the main stand-bys of the veteran Atlantics in the days of their prime, but the Mutuals, through the kindly offices of Mr. Tweed, have been enabled to out-bid the famous club of the Garden City, and have marshaled these choice players under the green stocking banner for 1871.
