Text	Some time ago...”Chad” gave his reasons for liking the Wright Brothers. He stated among other things, that they did not use profane language, which we believe is true, and certainly reflects great credit upon them. We have been thinking the matter over a great deal since, and wondering what other players there were of whom the same could be said. In this city we know of the following players who never permit an oath to pollute their lips, viz: Al. Reach, Gwynn, McBride and Wilkins. There may be others. Elias Cope, of Washington, no man ever heard take his Maker’s name in van. We outselves never heard Hayhurst, Berkenstock, the Gaskill Brothers, Wes. Fisler, and several of the Olympic players, indulge in profanity. We have seen McBride at times quietly rebuke others for intemperate language, induced by a provocation that really affected him more than any one else. All honor to these gentlemen.
