[Washington vs. Philadelphia 9/24/1886] [John] Strike, a Philadelphia boy, who has been pitching for the Kingstons, of Kingston, N.Y., saw the announcement in The Times that Harry Wright wanted a pitcher yesterday morning. He went out to Recreation Park and showed up so well in practice that the Philadelphia manager decided to use him against the Washingtons. [Philadelphia won 3-2]
