[Athletic vs. Mutual 6/1/1872] This was close work, and it now became apparent that the contest would be unusually exciting, as the Athletics found Cummings’s tricky delivery exceedingly difficult to punish, one base hit in five innings proving this fact. ...In the sixth inning, Cummings changed his tactics somewhat, and resorted to speed, and now the Philadelphians began to see the land, and for the first time punished Cummings, three good base hits sending in one earned run, a wold pitch assisting them in scoring the second. The Athletics now had the lead by two to one, and they expected to increase the score, but Cummings dropped his pace, and run-getting ceased.
