Thank you Dave.
By the way, the article I was looking for is one by Lee Allen entitled Baseball’s Immirtal Red Stockings, in the July 1961 Bulletin of the Historical and Philosophical society of Ohio.
He gives the a similar account of Herrmann and Kennent battling it out, but says it was all lost in a subsequent fire, without reference to the donation.
He also notes that a survivor is the team clock that Aaron Champion had in his law office is now in the Hall of Fame.
You can find the whole article online, the auction portion is at the end.
Thank you also for the cite to your article.
