Text | [Stars vs. Mutuals 5/7/1870] The Mutuals found Cummings to be the most difficult pitcher they had ever faced. His dodgy delivery, with his well disguised change of pace, bothered them immensely, only three men of the nine earning more than single bases off his pitching. New York Sunday Mercury May 8, 1870 [The Stars won 14-3.] [Star vs. Mutual 5/7/1870] Cummings improves in his pitching, and uses great judgment in varying his speed... Brooklyn Eagle May 9, 1870 [Stars vs. Mutuals 5/7/1870] The Mutuals now went in to get square again, but this Cummings was opposed to, and so, using his best judgment, he caused the first three Mutual strikers to give chances for outs on fouls, and all but one were taken, Jewell [the catcher] giving Wolters a life... ... A feature of the contest was the judgment displayed by Cummings in pitching. He completely outwitted the Mutual batsmen, Martin alone being able to meet him with equal skill in batting. New York Clipper May 14, 1870 |
