[Philadelphia vs. Athletic 4/18/1874] It is a question whether Cummings’ pitching compensates for his want of ability as a batsman and player. He made three absurd muffs, and struck out twice. This sort of play will risk the success of every important game. The Athletics did not seem to have much trouble in hitting his balls, getting 13 clean hits, with a total of 16 bases. We fear Cummings is not in good condition this year. Would it not be well to give Bechtel (a superior player) a trial.
