[Atlantic vs. Gotham muffins 8/24/1866] First nine matches may serve to show the fancy players and sharp points of the game, but the muffin nines number among them those who have been most instrumental in fostering and forwarding the national game, and who, when they join a club, are ready to help it by word and deed, whom neither capital nor caprice can swerve, but who stand by their organizations in weal or woe, through good report and through evil report, watching he progress and popularity of the game and advancing it in every possible way. The men opposed to each other on Friday, at Hoboken, were genuine muffs, and the game played, although not abounding in splendid points, was characterized by unalloyed good feeling.
