Text | The match between [the Enterprise and Star clubs] will come off on Saturday next, on the Star ground. It was deferred from last Saturday, on account of the unavoidable absence from town of some of the Enterprise. They did not leave town “to recuperate their strength, for this mat,” as has ungraciously remarked. To tell the truth, they don't need much recuperation for this game. The Enterprise boys have never shirked a game, and when beaten, have submitted like true gentlemen and noble fellows. Of course they do not feel like going into a contest with only half their men, and suffer defeat therefor, and they are right. They would be fully justified in a score of postponements, if they cannot get out a thorough nine without. |
