[a letter dated June 22d from Thomas Severn:] I, being the umpire in the game between the Atlantic club, of Philadelphia [sic: should be ‘between the Atlantic club, of Brooklyn, and the Athletic club, of Philadelphia’] at Philadelphia, May 30th, 1870, do consider the game to be null and void, according to the rules of the National Association, it having rained for one hour or more steadily during the game. The game was only played to oblige the Athletic Club, there being a large crowd present on the ground.
