Chicago wins 6-4, dismissing game-fixing rumors

On August 28, 1871, Chicago wins 6-4, dismissing game-fixing rumors.

At the Union Grounds in Brooklyn‚ the Chicago White Stockings clinch the season’s series with a 6-4 victory over the Mutuals behind the speedy pitching of George Zettlein. This game gives the lie to the current rumors about the leading teams throwing games for gate-money purposes as the Whites could have insured a 5th and deciding game of the series played on their own grounds by losing today’s game.
