Text	The Cincinnatis, singularly enough, stand higher in the estimation of the betting classes than any other club, simply from the fact that they can depend upon them doing their “level best” to win every game they play, which they cannot do with any other club apparently. In fact, so unreliable are some of our leading nines in this respect, that the betting-men have ceased to invest their funds on the result of our big matches, and now only bet on the innings’ play, or the runs on bases made by each player as he goes to the bat. By this means they escape being made the victim of “little put-up jobs”, as there cannot well be any collusion in regard to the result of one inning’s play, or the making of a base or a run by any particular player, as the bets are made on the spur of the moment.
