The advantage the Atlantics possess over other professional clubs is their having a club nine and not merely a picked nine. The Atlantic players have a personal interest in their club as a club, apart from any pecuniary advantages they may derive from their connection with their organization, and this in itself is a valuable element of success, as it imparts a vigor, earnestness, and spirit into their efforts in play which no mere money interest can convey. This is the strong point several leading clubs of the country have lost sight of in the organization of their nines, and none more so than the Mutual Club.
