Text	[Active vs. Irvington 10/3/1866] At the close of the play the Actives got together and gave three cheers for the Irvingtons; the latter, instead of responding like men, walked off the field like a party of beaten school boys, much to our surprise. If anything shows manliness in a club, it is bearing defeat gracefully. If a nine is beaten by superior play, common honesty should lead the defeated party to acknowledge it; if beaten unfairly or by errors of judgment on the part of the umpire, then the defeat reflects no discredit on the defeated. We trust never again to see a club having such a high reputation as players as the Irvingtons, guilty of such very small conduct as refusing the cheer the victors and the umpire. This cheering business is a good finish to every game, and is calculated to rub off the asperities occasioned by the close contest.
