Text	[Princeton vs. Metropolitans 5/17/1882] The new pitcher [O’Neil of the Metropolitans] had been spoken of as “a ripper” in regard to his speed, and so he proved to be, and a very damaging one, too. He was tediously slow in delivery, watched the bases in the old way without the least regard to signals from his catcher, and, though Clapp promptly returned balls to him for a quick delivery when the batsman was out of form, he never once took advantage of it. ... What O’Neil might do were he to study the art of pitching we cannot say; but, judging by his exhibition in this game, he has nothing but speed to recommend him. [He lasted two innings giving up four runs.]
