[Knickerbocker vs. Excelsior 7/8/1858] During the latter part of the game, one of the Excelsiors sprained his knee, thereby disabling himself from running; their generous opponents, in a spirit well worthy of imitation, insisted on his having a substitute to run for him. Such conduct, though characteristic of both those clubs, is worthy of special remark, and shows the manly and honorable feeling that exists among all true ball-players.
