Text | [Mutuals vs. Atlantics 10/12/1868] Those who had invested at the odds of two to one on the Atlantics felt rather down in the mouth, and of course began to talk of the Atlantic play being too thin, and to remark upon the pecuniary advantages of a third game, etc.; the inference of this class being that the game had been willfully lost. But if ever the Atlantics lost a game fairly, they lost this one. Season after season have they had just as good opportunities for losing second games with the Mutuals in order to have profitable third games, but season after season have they won every game, and they tried to win this as they had done other contests with the Mutuals. |
