Text	THE REVOLVER SYSTEM.–Mr. Pike, formerly of the Atlantic, but more lately of the Athletics, and now playing with the Irvingtons, who was still to have become a member of the Eureka, has publish a card denying the report, and state that he will play through the season with the Irvington club. ... Mr. Chadwick says:–The gossip about players does a great deal of mischief, by creating ill feeling and lowering the standard of leading players. The revolver system is year by year getting more discreditable, and the severest blow to its success is the fact that no revolver can be relied on; for it he will desert his friends he is not likely to hesitate in adopting unscrupulous means of enriching himself when opportunity offers.
