[in a letter to the editor from Frank Pidgeon] I am sorry that any respectable person will allow himself to appear in a match with a set of shiftless vagabonds that have no visible means of gaining a livelihood, but drift about from one club to another, first here, then there; you never know where to find them, and it would be better for all if they were hid where they might never be found.

Let every man who loves the game shun these fellows as he would a pestilence. Don’t countenance them in any way. Don’t feed them, but starve them out, and perhaps they will conclude to go to work; at any rate, we will get rid of them and their demoralizing influences.
