Date	Thursday, March 15, 1877
Text	[Indianapolis vs. R. E. Lee 3/14/1877] Nolan, the pitcher of the “Indianapolis,” throws the ball in a curve, which nonplussed the “Lees,” who are unaccustomed to the new style of pitching. When the ball leaves his hand it appears that the batter will be struck by it, but it invariably curves and goes over the home plate. Nolan does not pitch, but throws the ball underhand, a style which is now adopted by every professional pitcher, excepting Spalding of the Chicago “White Stockings.” New Orleans Picayune March 15, 1877 [Indianapolis vs. R. E. Lee 3/15/1877] ...the Lees found it impossible to strike Nolan's balls, not a single hit, foul or otherwise, having been made by them during the game. New Orleans Picayune March 16, 1877
