The Quill and Scissors and Sock and Buskin nines obtained permission from directors Chapman and Henry, of the Atlantic Club, to occupy the Union grounds on the occasion of their late game. One member of the Atlantic Club, or a person purporting to be a member, went to the ground and wanted to take possession of the field. Mr. Cammeyer, relying on the word of gentlemen in regard to the matter, refused to allow the person to take possession, and from that shabby circumstance arose the question as to where the Atlantics practice. The directors of the club have verified, over their signatures, the fact that they gave the newspaper nine permission to use the ground, and the miserable attempt to create ill feeling by using some insignificant member of the club as a tool has succeeded only in reverting to the discredit of the parties by whom the attempt was made.
