Text | Base Ball has “caved” “slightually” hereabouts, within a week. The Athletics and the Olympics have gone to the war almost en masse. Eighteen of the Athletics went off with that gallant fellow, Captain D.W.C. Moore. Our word for it, they’ll take the Rebs on the fly. Philadelphia City Item July 11, 1863 Nearly all the Philadelphia clubs have resumed play. We shall be ready for the New Yorkers next month. Philadelphia City Item July 25, 1863 The return of the State troops from the border will give renewed life to Base Ball in Philadelphia., and in September we shall be ready to receive our friends from New York, Brooklyn, Newark, Newburgh, Baltimore, etc. Early in September, the Athletics will visit Altoona and Princeton[sic: probably should be Pittsburgh], for play.
