| Text | [Atlantics vs. Athletics 10/1/1866] The field committee of the Athletic Club was in a great measure responsible for much of the disorder that prevailed. Many of these gentlemen affect a dictatorial style and manner which is very unpleasant; and they seem to be impressed with the idea that they are entitled to special privileges for themselves and friends. The majority of people are not disposed to submit to this sort of thing; and when those who pay their admission fee at the gate see the committee placing their friends in all the best positions, they very naturally become dissatisfied. We had occasion to speak about this matter once before; and if the Athletics expect to preserve good order on their grounds they will have to make a change in their manner of doing things. The club has been doing a pretty good business during the present season, and we think they ought to be able to provide better accommodations for their visitors. A little attention to matters of this kind would, in a great measure, prevent scenes of disorder. Philadelphia City Item October 13, 1866 [quoting the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch] |
