[Boston vs. Athletic 8/7/1871] With two men on the base, George Heubel stepped to the plate, made a desperate strike–failed to collide, and carefully examined the end of his bat. George once more missed the object of his wrath–and once more scrutinized the extremity of his ash. He then put up a foul fly for Gould, who missed it, and then picked it on the bound.

overworking the pitcher; early use of “relieve”

McBride has been worked very hard, and as the peculiar force of his delivery is very exhausting, he needs rest more than any man in the nine. There is no worse policy than over-working a pitcher, and we are inclined to think that Bechtel should relieve McBride whenever occasion will allow. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch August 13, 1871
