The great trouble of the Athletics, just at present, seems to be how to obtain the championship... The President of the [champion] Mutual Club offered, last week, to pay the expenses of the Athletics if they would come on and play the home-and-home game, as well as one-third of the gate-money; but this arrangement did not suit the Philadelphians, who wished to arrange a new series, so as to get a chance at the championship, which they would not obtain even should they defeat the New Yorkers in the home-and-home game of the series... ...as the Mutuals will hardly arrange a new series this Fall, the “whip pennant” will probably remain in this city until another season.
