Text	[Boston vs. Philadelphia 6/11/1874] Cummings again had theory knocked out of him, and the shrewd batsmen of the Boston ine took every advantage of his slow balls, which lose most of the curve imparted to his swift puzzlers. His system is simply an imitation of Spalding’s, and, while that pitcher makes an improvement by changing pace, Cummings invariably loses on it. We are surprised he does not see this himself, as it is remarked by almost every professional player in the country. If he were to make an analysis of his pitching, as we have done for many games, he would discover that nine-tenths of the base hits made from him are from his medium-paced balls.
