Text | It is currently reported that the Atlantics, on Tuesday, out of friendship for Pratt and Chapman, will throw the game [with the Quaker City Club], by either permitting the Quakers to win, or closing the innings by a very small majority. We ourselves, do not believe this, nor do we pay much heed to Madame Rumor; but we recollect, last season, that the Atlantic backers won considerable money on a match played here by the Atlantics throwing the game. The matter is yet fresh in the memory of those who witnessed that contest, and hence gives color to the rumors afloat concerning the Quaker’s game of Tuesday. |
