| Text | [Athletic vs. Atlantic 9/7/1868] [The Athletics in their hotel:] Not knowing what disposition was to be made of the boys, a little delay occurred in waiting the arrival of a messenger or committee from the Atlantics. No messenger or committee made their appearance; so the boys dressed, and procured conveyances to the field. We are not fault-finding; and if it is the Atlantic’s way of returning courtesies, we have not a word to say. But the treatment of the friends of the Athletics we do complain of. At every game the Atlantics have played on the Athletic’s grounds, the best seasts have been invariably reserved for their frineds, and our ire has been excited more than once in noticing that the friends of the Atlantics, on these occasions, composed the scum of our population. But the friends accompanying our boys were charged admission–which also we do no complain of. We are glad that the rule has been established, and we hope it will be rigidly observed in the future with this club playing on our grounds. |
