Text | A number of clubs in this city have adopted names which savor more of business than of sport. The advertising of any branch of business in the sporting world is reprehensible–although the proprietors make like it, and give pecuniary encouragement to the club. If the practice is continued, we may soon expect to hear of “Maguffin’s Bilious Pill Club” playing against “Smith’s Hair Curling Fluid” nine. If the game is national, let the names be national. |
