Text	We highly commend the following card from the Knickerbocker B.B. Club, of Albany, to the attention of the members of the base ball community who are disposed to play the game for pecuniary rewards, instead of the mere honor of the victory. It will have a tendency, we hop, to put a stop to all future matches for money. BASE BALL–A PROTEST.–We, the undersigned members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club, protest against the further unauthorized use of our names in connection with Base Ball challenges for money. Entertaining the opinion, that the initiation of such a course in connection with the game, would have a tendency to destroy its present enviable reputation as a field sport, and to cause unfriendly rivalries between those clubs that now maintain the most harmonious relations, we now desire to express our strong disapprobation of all attempts made to bring about a match for money between the players of our city clubs.
