There obviously seemed to be confusion about this game when it happened, BUT you have four sources saying it was an exhibition game, even though two of them earlier said it wasn't. Here is everything in one post:
1. Sept 13, The Sporting Life/schedule (all games that were played)
2. Sept 19, Pittsburgh Press/game recap w/ no boxscore
3. Sept 20, The Sporting Life/game recap
4. Oct 4, Alleghenys President/quote
5. Oct 5, Pittsburgh Press/final standings
6. Oct 5, Pittsburgh Dispatch/final standings
