| Description | (7 innings) (TDW (3): “The Trojans either contemplated an easy victory or did not get warmed up, for at one time the Albanians were four runs ahead, with every prospect of winning the game, from the loose fielding of their opponents, but on the third innings the Victory commenced to play in their usual style and with all their old force, so that at the end of seven innings, as they were twenty runs ahead, and the hour was getting late, the Beaverwycks gave up the game. / The latter are fair players, and evidently thorough gentlemen—not indulging in a word or action on the field that would be out of place were ladies present. We are very sorry that this is more than can be said of some of the Victorys and Trojan outsiders. The coarse expressions emanating from the southerly part of the field yesterday, could not have raised the reputation of our young men in the eyes of strangers. We only hope in future that the demeanor of the Victory Club may do them as much honor as their skill when on duty. / There were many spectators present yesterday, including a number of Trojans.—A high wind interfered with the excellence of the score.”) |
