Dean And the Chicagos Beat the Red Stockings 13 to 3.
Cincinnati Enquirer
08-09-1876
 
When the Chicagos were here last May they were greeted in each game by a turnout of from four to five thousand people on the grounds; even with the visit of the Reds in Chicago two weeks ago they brought out from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred people. They made their appearance at the Avenue Gounds before a crowd of about one hundred and fifty people. The few who were present seemed to regret it, and those who did not go were fortunate. They pounded Dean in the usual way and the game was inspired and without interest. Barnes opened the game by going to first base on Kessler's error. Then Peters, McVey, Anson, White, Hines, Spalding and Bielaski followed each other in rapid succession by safe hits that cracked. They fairly jumped at Dean's throwing, and several of them hit the first balls thrown in. McVey's and Spalding's hit were each for two bases.

Only the sharp playing of Booth and Sweasy saved the scoring by the Whites of about half a dozen runs. Nine bases batted out of Dean in the very first inning took all the starch out of the home Nine, as it would out of any club. Throughout the rest of the game they played a spiritless restless game, and the Whites being wearied with their delayed trip from Louisville, going into the game dinnerless, and having such a "berry" in Dean, played with less than half their usual vigor.

The small crowd hooted and yelled and laughed, and so expressed their disgust. The Whites, of course, although playing less energetically than usual, played almost a faultless game, a wild throw by Anson and two wild pitches by Spalding being their only errors. Of the home club, Booth behind the bat, catching Dean;s wild throwing, carried off the honors. No less than four men - White, Spalding, Bielaski and Peters - perished on bases from his fine throwing. Gould at first and Sweasy on second pushed him hard for the laurels. Kessler was worse than a wooden man at short-stop.

Three easy opportunities given him to assist were thrown away in the most bungling manner. At the bat Pierson, Booth and Snyder loomed up head and shoulders above their confreres; Snyder's fine three-base hit over Glenn's head in the sixth inning brought in Sweasy, and was the finest effort at the bat of the game. Pierson and Booth were only at the bat four times, but they each pasted Spalding for three safe hits. The game is not worthy of a fuller description.
