[Putnam vs. Atlantic 6/29/1860] As the game progressed towards a termination, and the result became a matter of doubt as to which would prove victorious, the usual excitement began to be evinced on the part of those pecuniarily interested in the game, and occasionally some outside comments on a misplay, or a decision of the Umpire, would be made, and doubtless would have led to others of a like character, until a similar scene had occurred to that which marked the Eckford and Putnam match. But as the most friendly feelings prevail between the Putnam and the “Champions,” both parties at once interfered and suppressed all outside talk, by simply requesting the spectators to cease, which they at once did, the crowd present being a pretty orderly one.
