| Text | [Mutuals vs. Irvingtons in Irvington, 6/28/1867] Stockman had been allowed to take Hugh Campbell’s place, the latter having been badly wounded in the neck in the fight, which he foolishly went into to put down. Though the injury was not sustained in the game, and the Irvingtons thereby had no legal claim to put in a substitute, McMahon very generously allowed Stockman to take his place, much against the desires of the boys of the Mutual nine, who, boylike, were disposed to take every advantage they could. McMahon’s action was most creditable to him, and his liberal and manly course only added to the laurels won by his club on the occasion. ... He should on future occasions insist upon better discipline by his nine, especially by the younger portion, who too frequently take upon themselves to give directions they are not competent for. New York Sunday Mercury June 30, 1867 In the seventh inning...[the Mutuals] made one of their unaccountable breaks which nearly lost them the game. And here we would speak of the unexampled generosity of the Mutuals in allowing Stockman, who had been absent to take his old place at the beginning of the eighth innings, at short stop ably filled in the first part of the game by Crawford. ... Eighth Inning–Mutual.–The Irvingtons have asked the privilege of placing Stockman at short in the place of Crawford, who took H. Campbell’s place in the field. Consent being given by McMahon the game proceeded. New York Dispatch June 30, 1867 |
