It looks to me like the writing suggests the 'Union Grounds' along the top before the date, which is back in NY.
Would they have traveled up for an exhibition game directly after the last game of the year, especially considering the Athletics would have been celebrating their efforts to win the first year of the National Association of Professional Baseball players league....?

Even though there was an established league at this point, these NA teams still played a large number of non-league games against all-comers. It wouldn’t surprise me at all that they made a home and away game at the end of the year even though the second game wasn’t a league game.
Great scorecards everyone!
