[Mutual vs. Active 8/10/1868] The Mutuals, whether under-rating their opponents or giving way to an unworthy apathy, did not appear in full strength, and those that did had not all club uniforms, so that the appearance of the Mutuals was greatly against their credit as a well managed or properly spirited organization. A club boasting of such a large number of members as the Mutual, having so many good players at command, should never contract a match game unless the club can be properly represented and without players being put to the humiliating necessity of borrowing parts of the ball suit from one place and other parts from another and presenting on the field the appearance of a “scrub nine.
