[Allegheny vs. Athletic 5/19/1883] An amusing incident was the rain of cushions at the conclusion. An enterprising speculator has provided several hundred of these, which he rented at five cents apiece. Some excited individual threw his cushion onto the field and this action became contagious and in a short time the air was thick with flying cushions, to the damage of a number of silk hats and frontispieces and to the great amusement of the crowd.
