Text	Matthews, of the Baltimore nine of last season, came into prominent notice first from his connection with the Kekionga Club. We have heard many comparisons made between him and Cummings, but if Matthews would last in every game we would much prefer him. His delivery is marked by an obvious curve, longer and not so abrupt as the same peculiarity in Cummings. ... Cummings, of the Mutual nine of ‘72, has a reputation which is notable for one who has been a professional for only one season. Still his name was made through his connection with the Star club. His peculiarities are well known; and the extraordinary curve which he imparts to his delivery has been so often commented upon that it is useless for us to enlarge upon it now. This is his chief, perhaps his only strength. He fields his position well, but is a poor batsman and a miserable runner.
