Text	Last year was only the second season of these terrific fast-curve pitchers, and even during that season the better class of batsmen were getting accustomed to hit the terrors. If, then, this year should bring out batsmen to be able to smite these terrible Philistines of the swift curve, where will they be? If their pace will not save them from being pounded, nothing else will, for they have never studied head pitching. St. Louis Globe-Democrat April 8, 1877 Hayhurst and McBride resign from the Athletics Base ball has proved too much of a problem in these days for Hicks Hayhurst, so he thought that his resignation would prove acceptable. McBride, at the last hour, has proved by his conduct in retiring from the Athletic, that he cannot be depended upon. Philadelphia Sunday Republic April 8, 1877
