The desire to see our boys succeed was enhanced by the extraordinary actions oft he Atlantics in placing a man in the ticket office to receive money and also another at the gate to take tickets. By this proceeding they cast a reflection upon the Nationals [of Albany] and clearly established the truth of the declaration made by us a few weeks since that the Atlantics were money players. No other club in the country would think of questioning the honesty of the home club and it was an unwarranted and most ungentlemanly act on the part of the Atlantics when they virtually refused to allow the Nationals to handle the gate money by placing their own men in the office and at the gate. quoting the Albany Express
