Text | [from an obituary for D.W.C. Moore] The club, after its organization, had a difficult siege of it, the members dropping off one by one, until only Col. Moore and Berkenstock and two other gentlemen remained. These gentlemen persevered under many disheartening circumstances, and they lived to see their bantling grow in numbers and influence, until now it is the foremost club in the country, and ranks the strongest in players of any club in the United States. |
