Date	Sunday, June 6, 1869
Text	[Mutuals vs. Eckfords 6/5/1869] The Mutuals now went in to bat Martin, but, like other clubs who have played the Eckfords this season, found the medium paced twisters hard to hit, and when fairly hit they had a provoking way of puffing up in the air for some anxious fielder to lay hands on. New York Dispatch June 6, 1869 [Mutuals vs. Eckfords 6/5/1869] Their [the Mutuals] inability to hit Martin’s medium-paced “twisters” was very evident. They either popped the ball into the air, when it was sure to be caught on descending, or they sent it flying or bounding behind the bat, to be taken care of by Jewett [catcher]. New York Clipper June 12, 1869 [Martin’s] “medium-paced,” curve-line style of pitching [has] bothered so many first-class nines. National Chronicle June 26, 1869
