Text	[Atlantics v. Irvingtons 8/5/1867] We have heard a great deal about charges of “throwing” this that, and the other game [vs. the Unions of Morrisania 7/30/1867], made against the Atlantics, but we have yet to see the first evidence of the fact. Especially is the charge false in reference to the Union and Irvington contests. In the former, the Atlantics went up to Morrisania sanguine of defeating the club who had played so poorly as did the Unions against the Irvingtons, forgetting that since then they had had a week’s good training against strong nines, while they themselves had scarcely handled a ball except in the few match-games they had played, the Atlantics thinking practice-games ‘first nine vs. field’ useless, apparently. In the Irvington match, though they expected a tough time, they were just as unprepared for success, by training, as before; and, moreover, were short-handed again. They ought by this time to have found out that they never play their old Atlantic game throughout unless they have a full nine in their regular positions.
