The withdrawal of the Mutual from further play was a bomb-shell on many who had bet on their getting the championship. They have, for consolation, the knowledge that they would have lost their money in any event. Philadelphia Sunday Republic October 25, 1874

the colored championship of Philadelphia

We, the members of the Active Base Ball Club, of West Philadelphia, colored, want the public to understand that we claim the championship of this city, as we have played twenty games and lost two this year. It is rumored that the Williams Base Ball Club are champions, but they are not. The Williams have got the name but the Actives have got the games as they would not accept any more challenges. We have played twice and they disappointed us the third time, and we claim championship. Philadelphia All-Day City Item October 29, 1874
