The boys ever kept uppermost in their thoughts the good name of Philadelphia, and the honor of the game itself. It had been currently reported through the West that the crack organizations East were composed mainly of roughs. By their gentlemanly deportment they gave the lie to this slander. In almost every city they visited, tempting offers were made several of the boys to return and located permanently. These propositions were in every instance promptly, but positively declined; though, to state the truth, the West made a very favorable impression on almost every member of the nine.
