|Text=<p>[from a letter from the Quaker City club] As to our being invited, or challenged, by the Athletic Club, we can only say that no official communication has as yet reached us, nor has anything being a few mere personal propositions, and a manifest desire upon the part of the Athletics that we may challenge them, in order that they, as the challenged party, may have the first game played upon their grounds.</p>
