Text	[Mutual vs. Keystone 8/27/1869] In the eighth inning, after disposing of the Keystones for three runs, the Mutuals called a new ball, and a lively one being furnished them, the game at once assumed a different aspect, and before the inning was finished the Keystones had reason to regret their unwise change. The ball was but slightly ripped, and the Mutuals at the least could have finished the inning with it, and thus allowed both clubs to have had an equal chance in batting the new ball. The Keystones very plausibly attribute their defeat to this circumstance, and with some show of justice, as most of the balls hit by the Mutuals in the eighth inning bounded over the heads of the outfielders.
