Text	[Athletic vs. Keystone 8/10/1868] McBride, on stepping into the enclosure, was heartily cheered by the entire assemblage, and a number of little fellows surrounded him, putting all sorts of queries to him, and bidding him go in and do his prettiest. Dick, in his good-natured, smiling way, inquired “what was the matter with them?” “Nothing, Dicky,” answered one little fellow, “only glad to see your riverince [sic].” It was impossible for Dick to make his way through this army of youngsters, and as the immortal J.N. would say, the “pressure” was intense. Dick’s popularity with the juveniles is owing solely to the fact that he does not forget that he was once a boy, and the kindness that he invariably extends to them meet them where he will.
