Text | No positive proof can be brought forward in support of any direct charges of collusion among players for fraudulent purposes, but yet not one man out of ten who witnessed the majority of the games of October last, can be persuaded that the contests were fairly and honorably contested. In this respect, just as one player of a nine can alone be guilty of the mischief, one club out of seven can be mischief enough to taint the reputation of a dozen. The fact is too plain that just so long as parties can find pecuniary profit in fraudulently arranged contests, just as long will “hippodroming” mark professional playing. |
