| Text | [reporting on the Athletic Club meeting of 1/10/1876] There were two candidates for the position of manager, Alfred J. Reach and E. Hicks Hayhurst, and as both of these gentlemen were equally well and favorably known, the friends of each rallied in an exciting, although friendly contest, which terminated in the favor of the popular veteran Alfred Reach, by a vote of 99 to 49; his selection to fill this office being but a fitting recognition of his brilliant and honorable record as a player and a man during the twelve years that he has faithfully served the Athletics, and eighteen year’s experience guarantee us in saying that no one is more capable of filling that position. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury January 16, 1876 [reporting on the Athletic Club meeting of 4/10/1876] Mr. A. J. Reach, on account of constantly increasing business at his base ball emporium, then tendered his resignation as manager, which was accepted, and at a subsequent meeting of the directors, A. H. Wright was chosen to fill that position. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury April 16, 1876 |
