They will play at Harrison Park. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury August 13, 1871 The Athletics will play a game at Harrison Park on Friday next, with the Park Club, a new organization composed of some of the most promising amateur players in this city. The game has been arranged as a well-deserved complimentary testimonial to Hicks Hayhurst, one of the Athletic veterans in days gone by, and who has devoted liberally much of his time and means in assisting to place the Athletics in their present proud position. The many old and new friends of Hicks Hayburst will welcome this opportunity of showing their appreciation of his merits by attending what promises to be a very interesting game. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury August 20, 1871. The Athletics play to-day, at Harrison Park, the Park Club, a new organization, composed of some of our finest amateur players, the foremost being our much esteemed friend, Hicks Hayhurst. Hicks is an old Athletic player and manager, and no man of to-day has done more for the interests of our national game and the Athletic club than he. Evening City Item August 25, 1871 |
