[Athletic vs. Mutual 8/10/1876] ...the Athletics visited Brooklyn, N.Y, to play their fifth game with the Mutuals, and being decidedly out of form for victorious work—all their catchers being disabled—it was large odds on their being badly defeated... Al. Wright, the Athletic manager, desired to forfeit a ball, but Manager Cammeyer said “Play the game,” and so they procured the services of Neely Phelps, the change catcher of the New York nine...and with this team they went to the field.
