White Stockings attempt to play a makeup game
but Cincinnati refuses due to a major downpour
of rain. Chicago, who was upset, appoints
someone from their traveling party as umpire and
then he declares the game a 9-0 forfeit by the
Reds. Chicago's chicanery eventually works
because the game would be placed in the books
until the December meeting of the National
League. |
