Text	When a match game is regularly announced, should one side break faith because of the absence or indisposition of some individual member? Certainly not. Matches should be played when the time is set, and if a club fail to appear, then let the nine ready to play, claim and case the ball. The season is rapidly advancing, and now is the time when clubs should work off as many games as they can. If one player is absent or unable to perform, do as the Atlantics did yesterday,--put in a substitute. It appears very childish to throw a game over, because one player is away. When games are announced, others' interests are to be looked to as well as the club's. Proprietors of grounds do not desire to be put to an expense for nothing, and should not be.
