[Champion of Morrisania vs. Enterprise of New York 8/13/1859; junior clubs; incidentally, a “fly” match] It has been reported in some of the papers that the Enterprise had among its players a member of the Baltic Club, Mr. E. Durell, who happens also to belong to the Enterprise Club as an honorary member, playing only occasionally with that club. This is true. But we understand that this player would not have been enlisted, had not the Enterprise Club been aware of the fact that the Champions had in their nine three members of the Metropolitan Club, one of the Manhattan Club, and one of the Monument Club. If this be true, while it cannot be doubted that both clubs did wrong (under the Rules), the Champion Club certainly committed the greater wrong.
