Arthur Cummings is reported to have said that he wouldn’t play in a Philadelphia nine this season if they would give him the whole town. A good reason why he could not play here is that fact that no club, even the weakest amateur organization of this city, would hire this over-rated “boy pitcher” at any price. One season sickened the Philadelphians with him. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury March 28, 1875

[Hartford vs. Philadelphia 6/2/1875] The Philadelphias in these two innings punished the over-rated “boy pitcher” for three runs on seven clean hits. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury June 6, 1875
