Text | [Mutual vs. Irvington 5/20/1869] The New-York Mutuals paid their annual visit to Irvington yesterday to engage the club of that name; but the latter by their conduct did not seem to care much for the popularity of the national game. They showed their disrespect for the rules by first putting in a player (Farrar) who is not more than 17 or 18 years of age, and afterward willfully striking out of turn. It is always unpleasant to speak other than in a complimentary way of base-ball organizations; but it would not be just to clubs in general to ignore the conduct of the Irvingtons yesterday. |
