Text | [Mutual vs. Union of Lansingburgh 8/4/1868] ...another half hour was lost by the refusal of the captain of the Mutuals to allow any one to run for Rus, the pitcher of the Unions. It appears that Rus, although an excellent pitcher, is unable to run, from some cause not stated, and that it has been the custom heretofore to allow some one to run for him. After considerable “chin music” had been indulged in, the point of conceded, and the game commenced. New York Clipper August 15, 1868 [Later the account makes clear that someone ran for him.] |
