[reporting the Mutuals’ annual meeting] Thomas Devyr, who was expelled from the Club in 1865 for being one among others accused of selling a game played with the Eckfords, has been unanimously re-elected, and will play as short stop this season. Mr. Devyr wrote a very penitential letter to the Club, acknowledging the fault he had committed and begging to be forgiven by his old associates. We think the club have acted not only kindly, but wisely, in readmitting Mr. Devyr to membership. He succumbed to temptation, he was punished, he acknowledged the justice of his punishment, and he has been forgiven. He will likely prove none the worse member for having once fallen from grace.
