That incongruity wasn't the only one I noticed. I needed to dig a little bit further on the Williams/Athletics game. If Dan Casey, a Philadelphia
Quakers player, helped train them, why did they play the Athletics rather than the Quakers on their trip to Philadelphia? Apparently, however, it is correct.
The Brooklyn Eagle of Wednesday, April 4, 1888 says that the Athletics played three college teams in succession - Yale, Williams, and Amherst - and won all of the contests quite handily.
