Text	[Mutual vs. Atlantic 9/13/1866] [4-0 in favor of the Mutuals after three innings] The game, of course, began to get intensely interesting, and though the Mutuals were beaming with smiles all round from the result, the Atlantics took things very cooly, and with commendable good-humor. A great many were on the look-out for the old growling time from the Atlantics, but we were glad to see that they were disappointed. Especially did Pearce preserve his temper throughout this exciting game, and we must do him the justice to say that he never deported himself in a match more creditably as a ball-player than he did on this one; not a single growl, “not a funeral-note” was heard, in fact, from the whole party; and certainly, at one time, the exciting character of the game might have excused an ebullition of the kind. We trust this reform will be carried out on all future occasions, and hope that we have heard the last of the legendary growling of the Atlantic-nine.
