| Text | We have not the space to day to take up on detail a few points Henry Chadwick has submitted for our consideration. We will say this much, that what he states concerning the Atlantic’s desire to get up a game in Chicago with the Athletics [where they were present simultaneously], is all “bosh.” He it was that proposed it, and when the matter was broached to the Athletics, on the authority of his newspaper chin, they hooted at the idea. There very frankly stated to all interrogatories, that the Atlantics had a challenge from them yet to be acted upon. He states the truth, though, when he alludes to the couple of thousand dollars the match would probably have netted. But the Athletics are not running a circus; they did not have a puff writer with them, puffing the concern in advance. The caravan was run for their won amusement and that of the many friends who came to witness honest, quare play. Chadwick cares as much about the Atlantics, as we do–which we are free to admit, does not amount to much. He will not hesitate to give prominence to any harpooning we may administer the Atlantics; and then commiserate with them over our naughtiness, laughing in his sleeve at their discomfiture. We will state further, that we have read and heard more from Henry, concerning this Atlantic and Athletic matter than we did during our entire cruise. |
