The suit instituted by unpaid players against the Athletic base ball club is against the old club, which, while still retaining its corporate existence, is without a “nine” and is not against the “Athletic Association,” which present the nine known this year as the Athletic. The association is a totally distinct concern, having no connection or application with the club, famous for so many victories, such sad defeats and such hopeless bankruptcy. Philadelphia Sunday Republic May 6, 1877

Mathews’ delivery

Mathews, for several seasons past, has visited Louisville with the Mutual club. His powers are so well known by Louisville audiences that he scarcely requires an introduction. He is one of the few pitchers who hang on to the old delivery of by-gone days, a style which has been almost entirely eradicated by the underhand throw of the present time. Louisville Courier-Journal May 9, 1877
