Text | [Empire vs. Mutual 10/18/1858] We regretted very much to notice the bad grace with which some of the Mutuals took their defeat, and would respectfully suggest to them the propriety of keeping any little disputes they may have among themselves as private as possible; and not to–as on this occasion–almost openly accuse one another of throwing away the game. They have been successful enough this season, to bear a reverse of this kind with a light heart, by making up their minds to play better in the home-and-home match, instead of getting out of temper with each other, which only makes matters worse, and generally brings about a defeat, when, by a little sharp playing, victory might crown their efforts. |
