Text	Of late years the present “brood” of players think and care little for those who first brought our noble game into existence; but for those who have an interest in its welfare, those old players have a peculiar interest for them. Those old clubs have gradually lost their former high prestige, and become mere wrecks of their former greatness. Thus the old Knickerbocker Club, once so powerful and, for those days, so skillful, where are they? Once in a while we see their names as contestants with second rate clubs. So with the Gothams. Empire, and Eagle clubs, they too have sunk down to a lower grade, their old “trumps” have long since passed from sight, their memory only cherished by their old companions or the enthusiasts of the game.
