Text | [Mutual vs. Irvington 5/20/1869] [The Mutuals] did not enjoy their trip as they expected to, the reception they received from the Jerseymen not being very courteous, and the conduct of the latter throughout the game was simply disgraceful. They insisted upon striking out of turn, and contrary to the rules of the Association, put in a boy not over seventeen or eighteen years of age to play third base. It is a great pity that such fine players as the Irvington Club is composed of should cast discredit, not only upon themselves, but upon the National Game itself, and should they continue to pursue the present course, they may find difficulty in prevailing upon decent organizations to visit their pleasant and quiet village at all. |
