| Text | The Cincinnati Club is probably the only organization in the country that has been properly and thoroughly trained and disciplined, and to this fact we attribute wholly their extraordinary success. The members are required to be strictly temperate in their habits, to eat none but wholesome and nutritious kinds of food, and to retire to rest at a certain and reasonable hour. Here we see the secret of their being able to play matches day after day without apparent fatigue; and we insist that no club in the country will be able to compete successfully with them whose members will not adhere strictly to the rules of health, and in addition exercise daily and constantly with ball and bat on the green field. The members of this celebrated club were at one time mostly Eastern players, and no more skillful than hundreds of their brethren; therefore we say, it lies in th power of any good club here, to so train and discipline their nine as to compete successfully with these Wester athletes. |
