[Cleveland vs. Chicago 7/6/1883] Anson tried to cut the ball and Williamson was caught seeking to tear it with his teeth. Their object was to get a new one, which McCormick cannot pitch as well as an old one.

Anson's effort to cut the ball, and Williamson's endeavor to tear it with his teeth, are willful and silly falsehoods. No such occurrences, or anything in manner resembling them, took place. The Sporting Life July 22, 1883 [quoting the Cleveland Herald and American Sports respectively]
