Billy Reccius, the well-known dealer in sporting goods of [Louisville] is in the habit of receiving from country clubs applications for a pitcher. Two of these clubs get up a rivalry over their respective merits, and a challenge follows. One club, in order to steal a march on the other, sends there for a pitcher. Reccius has been in the habit of sending them a young man named Henry Smith, who is quite an effective twirler, and generally succeeds in puzzling the rural sluggers.
