[Union of Lansingburgh vs. Mutual 8/26/1868] In the fourth innings Davis was sent in to pitch, Rus having been pretty well tired out. The Mutuals objected to Davis’ delivery, declaring it a “jerk,” and the umpire sustaining them in the appeal Davis retired and Rus resumed his position. New York Clipper September 5, 1868

[Union of Lansingburgh vs. Atlantic 8/27/1868] Davis, who was ruled out of the Mutual match because the umpire said he delivered the ball with a “jerk,” was not objected to by the Atlantics, and pitched all through the game. New York Clipper September 5, 1868
