[Philadelphia vs. Athletic 5/29/1875] After the game somebody said that the Athletics threw off! That Force “weakened” on purpose–that Clapp was not on his metal [sic]–that McBride could not pitch-that Craver got a chunk of dirt in his eye–that Hall had the pip–that Bechtel had no poor relations, and that there was but one Richmond in the field.

All these remarks were made derisively. If any body meant them in an unworthy sense, we say that they were wrong.
