[from a letter to the editor] The management of the Club is illiberal–nay, it is mean. Some provision ought to have been made for the old members of the nine. They should have been voted a life membership, at least.

I do not forget that Berkenstock and Kleinfelder, Wilkins, Gaskill, Paul, and others, gave their time and money and services to the club in its poor days, and the least the club could do is to vote them a life membership.

...

There out to be a place set apart on the stand for the old officers and old players, and they should be honored on all occasions.

That they are not so treated, shows the pitiful character of the management. If shows ignorance, and want of gratitude and breeding!
