Since giving our report last week of the match between the [Suffolk and Earnest, 7/11/1867] clubs we have received the reasons of the President of the Earnest Club for stopping the game. It seems that the Suffolk Club does not belong to the National Convention, and the members of the Earnest Club did not find this out until the close of the third inning, and as it is against the policy of the club to play clubs that are not in the Association they refused to play. [The score was 24-8 in favor of the Suffolks at the stop of play.]
