more on William J. Piccot

Mr. Piccot was about thirty-three years of age. He served as compositor in the Courier and Enquirer office, and afterwards on the New York Times, subsequently as proof reader on the latter paper. While serving in this capacity, he was delegated to report a game of base ball, and did it so well that he immediately adopted reporting base ball as a profession. He was known as a fearless and conscientious writer, ever frowning upon wrong, fraud and deceit, and upholding that which was praiseworthy. Brooklyn Eagle July 19, 1870
