| Text | The Baltimore American of Nov. 1 says, in referring to Cummings, that “after giving him ample time to report for duty or to present some good excuse for his absence, the officers of the Baltimore Club dishonorably dismissed him.” This act throws Cummings out of the arena for 1874, as the rule prohibits any expelled player from taking part in a match game. New York Clipper November 8, 1873 the ten-man ten-inning game On Thursday next, if the weather is fine, the Atlantic and Mutual Clubs will practically illustrate the features of the new game of ball for 1874 in an exhibition match in which ten players will take part on each side, and ten innings be played. The new positions will be at “right short.” If the two tens play up to their mark the prospect is that the game will not only be the shortest on record but one marked by the smallest score. New York Sunday Mercury November 2, 1873 The ten men and innings game which Ferguson had arranged to play with the Mutual nine and his club on Thursday last did not take place, though the day appointed was a remarkably fine one, and quite a crowd of spectators would have been present; but the refusal of the Mutuals to play any more this season prevented the game. New York Sunday Mercury November 9, 1873 On Thursday last about a thousand people were attracted to the Athletic ball grounds in Philadelphia, the occasion being the first match played by professionals under the new rule–which will be in vogue in 1874–of ten men and ten innings. The contestants were ten of the Athletic and Philadelphia Clubs, and the game was arranged for the benefit of the left fielder of the Philadelphia nine. New York Sunday Mercury November 9, 1873 |
