To this end the club has engaged men who have been familiar with their...
...sixth resolve, though not as objectionable as the third, is yet needless and harmful. Often deciding games are unfair when played upon the grounds of one of the competing teams, as the home team has all the advantages of knowledge of the grounds and heartier support.
