Text	Harry Wright will continue as pitcher for the [Cincinnati] club. His style is slow and regular, never pitching a ball fair for the striker unless he knows he is unprepared. Harry is a professional cricketer, and is one of the best bowlers, and having great experience in this, which requires great headwork, he has applied it to his base ball pitching, and has made himself the hardest slow pitcher to bat we have. He is a great coaxer, the ball coming at one time so slow that the striker will hit too quick, either missing or making a weak blow; or little above medium pace causing them to strike too slow, with the same result. In the Atlantic-Cincinnati match I noticed this particularly, especially after the first innings, most every time the ball was struck at the end, or near the handle of the bat.
