| Comment | Note: The Clipper printed this correction two weeks later: "The Aurora Club of Chelsea, Mass, is composed of White and not colored men as was inadvertently stated in the late issue." Note: The article does not specify where these clubs played this match. Can we confirm that the Resolute Club comprised African American players? Edit with form to add a comment |
