Text	[Atlantic vs. Athletic 7/5/1869] Most of the Brooklyn police having been detailed for other duty, only five or six of the blue-coated and brass-buttoned guardians of the public peace were on hand, a force entirely inadequate for the occasion, as they were totally unable to clear the field, until the Atlantics themselves, clubs in hand, volunteered their assistance. The ground once clear, those spectators who were in front would insist on standing up, obstructing the vision of those in the rear, which occasioned such a roaring and shouting that play could not be commenced until the obstinate individuals were at least prevailed upon in some cases and forced in others to sit down. New York Dispatch July 11, 1869 the low visibility of colored clubs [from Answers to Correspondents] We cannot furnish you with the desired information in regard to the Pythian Club of this city. Perhaps some of our readers may be able to inform us whether the club is still in existence, and the name of its officers. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury July 11, 1869
