The “revolvers” have been checked in their operations by the amendment changing the time of prohibition from thirty to sixty days. John Wildey voted for ten days, and Mr. Ward for ninety; but finally sixty was fixed upon, and now no man can take part in a match-game unless he has ceased to be a member or has not played in any other club’s nine, then the one he plays with for sixty days prior to the time he plays. New York Sunday Mercury December 13, 1868

This amendment elicited a lively discussion. John Wildey, of the Mutuals, speaking in favor of ten days, and Mr. Ward in favor of ninety days... College clubs, however, have been made exceptional to this rule. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury December 13, 1868
