Series Description

From the Sub-Series:

This subseries includes a legal document relating to an 1876 contract dispute with George Wright, who had been paid by Boston, but wanted the option of playing for another team instead. Also of interest is an 1875 document entitled “Fair Field and No Favor,” which is apparently the first draft of a handbill to be distributed at games, extolling the virtues of fair play towards the visiting team. This subseries also includes a handwritten 1878 schedule, treasurer’s reports, stockholder lists, and other administrative documents.
